James D'Souza is joined by Dan Fatica of DJF Asset Management, to talk about all things investing, how he transitioned from buy-to-lets to London investing, as well as how bridging operators work and how you can add this valuable tool to your investing armoury. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every time we face a problem and fix them, we add another tool to our toolkit. Things may be hard at the outset, but they get easier with each lesson learned. Mastering local area knowledge is essential to making the most of where you invest. Establishing a power team and knowing the best prices to pay will allow you to move sooner and take advantage of all opportunities. Lettings agents are working for you. You are the client and you pay them, so there's no shame in wanting to get the best for your money. Understanding the valuation metrics of your chosen lenders is essential, as the more open-ended open market valuers are going to attach higher values to properties in general. If there's a higher value there, then you can borrow more. BEST MOMENTS 'It took me so long to learn the craft' 'Solidify the learnings. Make sure you master them' 'It's all relationships!' 'Understanding which valuation metric lenders go with can be very helpful' VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591 Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!
