Building A Property Empire From Scratch - with Markus And Elsie

SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE VIDEO CONTENT - https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Markus and Elsie, the founders of EM Investments, who upon graduating from university, took the plunge into property investment, building an impressive portfolio of properties worth over £1.3 million, including buy-to-lets and HMOs. Markus and Elsie discuss the ways in which they overcome the many challenges of beginning a property investment journey in a new country with no credit history, capital or support network to lean on. KEY TAKEAWAYS Education is very important when it comes to investment. Knowing your strategies is crucial in allowing you to explore different approaches to each deal. Having a large sum of capital to invest is not always necessary. There are various strategies out there that you can work on to get going immediately, and which can generate cash for future deals. Perfecting the strategy is a key skill to develop. With each successive venture we increase our knowledge base, and knowledge is king. It can be worthwhile contacting landlords who are on the verge of retirement. They often have entire portfolios on offer. These ranges of properties are already proven and can be easily valued due to their already-in-place income. BEST MOMENTS 'It's just mind-blowing what we can potentially do' 'We had zero connections, zero savings and zero credit!' 'What we do is work backwards...' 'Me being a risk-averse person, we keep doing what we know' VALUABLE RESOURCES EM Investments - https://www.em-investments.co.uk/our-story EM Investments Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4YvdAsg4cPH1ioSNOpbbPg ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.
