Tej Talks

This episode is probably not what you want to hear. But, it's what you need to hear. Rupal's story is one of learning, challenges and progress.

Property Investing. People always ask me if I'll do something 'bigger' and 'more exciting' than single-lets, rented to families or couples etc. That's all subjective, because it may sound exciting and 'wow', but have you seen the challenges that come with big projects? Especially new builds, the risks too. I'm not afraid of them, but I like taking the path of most efficiency to the best result, si...

How to test a builders finish?  What Contracts should you use and what are key questions for a builde...

I recently presented this at PPN Knightsbridge that I co-host and it had a great response. Essentially, I've learnt over the past 12 months that there are many facets to a Property Investing Business, and that you are the captain of the ship. At the start you'll be rowing, manning the sails, steering, attacking (if ye' a pyrate!), repairing, recruiting new sailors, docking the ship....and much mor...

I had the pleasure of co-charing a Q&A session with David, at PPN Knightsbridge, our networking event (2nd Tuesday of every month, come along!).

He had us all fired up and ready to go, feeling inspired to think...

I share my 2 Ps in Property. People often ask me how I've grown so quickly, or what's my secret. & there is no secret. It's just hard work, the right mindset, guidance and clarity. These are much easier said than done, and it's taken me a long time to get it right, but I'm still learning, as we all are. I focus on why people are the centre of your business, and why putting them before profits...

Be realistic, yes anyone can get into these projects, but can you live whilst they hap...
