Jack Smith is a property investor who started out with flipping houses. and then quickly found his feet when he launched is own deal sourcing business. Like many people he dabbled in a few strategies initially, but they didn't quite fit in with where he wanted to go in property. Through discovering Joint Ventures, he was able to make £30k profit on his first flip project and then managed to pick up more deals from there. So much so that he figured out that if he couldn't do all the deals himself, he could package them on for a fee and his sourcing business was born.   In this Episode:  

• Jack takes us through his story
• How he got started and why he transitioned to deal sourcing
• We discuss the key mistakes people make when first getting into flips
• What comes first in deal sourcing- the deal or the investor- Do you find the deals to suit the investors or find the investors to suit the deals?
• What he believed a year ago in property.... That he no longer believes to be true
• And what he wishes someone had told him when he first started in property

This is another short fire episode on what I feel is a really important topic... The project/ development appraisal, the numbers, the tool that you rely on to help tell you if a project stacks or not.   So here are 4 important items that I see people miss off a development appraisal that can greatly impact a deal and a projects profitability.   So if you are an aspiring developer, looking to invest or JV on someone else's deal or even a sourcing agent looking to present a project to package to a developer.... Make sure you take these points into consideration.   Enjoy!     ***************       Developers Boardroom 2.0 Looking to surround yourself with a small group of aspiring developers; To stay accountable and progress to the next level?   Click here for more details     GET IN CONTACT.   Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raj-chengadu-11381b69/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/propertyinvesting2.0/?hl=en   Email:  raj@propertyinvesting2-0.com     *Disclaimer* As always, the content in this episode is for informational and entertainment purposes only and are the views of the host and guests.
