Sean and Kevin talk about how you can raise finance as a property investor. Kevin shares his decades of experience in raising cash including the two main ways to raise finance. Sean also talks about the importance of borrowing and how to challenge your own limiting beliefs around money and lending.   

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Whilst you might not be able to ask family and friends for cash, that doesn’t mean someone close to you won’t be interested. Kevin managed to raise finance from a colleague, from just a conversation at work.
  • Sean’s mindset had to change when he discovered he was unable to get a loan he needed as he had no credit score. His mindset around borrowing money shifted even further when he started to attend Progressive Property events.
  • As long as you tell people what you are doing in your property business, they will want to lend money to you.
  • Always conduct thorough due diligence as an investor, ensuring you understand the proper terms.
  • The money goes where the knowledge is, so go to property networking events, both locally and nationally.
