Working With Investors

With Allan’s property portfolio approaching the 10 million pound mark, this is the perfect time for him to bring you this episode discussing investors. Allan couldn’t have got to that 8 figure sum without the help of good investors and he’s going to share his experiences with you. Remember this is not financial advice, just Allan telling you how he personally likes to work.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Having the conveyancing process drag on can lead to having to re-apply for funding, luckily with Allan’s latest purchase the lender agreed to extend the offer, rather than making him apply for a new one with a higher interest rate. 
• Working with investors allows Allan to buy multiple projects at the same time and also allows him to work on multiple projects at the same time. If you don’t have millions in the bank then this can be a tricky thing to do without investors. 
• By using a mentorship scheme, Allan was able to network with investors and found it easier looking for funding that way rather than approaching lenders. 
• It’s important to be able to work with investors when things go wrong, not just when they’re going well. For example there could be market changes, restrictions on trading, anything like that you need to know how to deal with it. It’s not about getting the money, it’s about understanding the person and their motivations. 
• One of the most important things Allan does when he talks to investors is show them the project. He has a whole folder of photos of what they’re going to do, all the numbers they will need, timescales etc. People want to see what you’ll be doing with their money and know they’re investing in something that has a solid plan. It builds trust.

‘There’s always a risk, and without that risk none of us would get where we need to go’ 

‘The number one thing is finding out their motivations for investing’
