Every winner was once a beginner & every master was once a disaster.
You are more investible than you think for 3 main reasons:
1. Market forces in your favour
2. Risk/reward: you [can] offer a higher return to offset risk
3. Lack of trust in banks & more in people [You]
1. Market forces in your favour
- Low interest rates [savings, profits, cash in bank]
- Inflation stacked onto interest rates
- Banks more strict criteria
- Increased prevalence & confidence in crowdfunding, peer to peer & lending to individuals
- Relaxed planning & development regulations
- Commercial tax breaks
- Pension funds losing/burning money
- Any media hype or fear [Brexit, high London prices, impending recessions or crashes, volatile stock markets, etc]
2. Risk/reward: you [can] offer a higher return to offset risk
- The newer you are, the more control an investor may feel they have over you [negotiation, return, influence]
- Returns, especially with leverage, are good in property, so you can offer market outperforming returns [not unrealistic]
- If things go wrong, you are vested to fix it & they can influence you to solve issues more than they could banks
- You can pivot as the market changes [investor and financier]
3. Lack of trust in banks & more in people [You]
- People don’t care what you know until they know that you care
- If you worry about losing their money, then that’s a good thing because corporations don’t
- In the past corporations & pensions controlled most of the money; that is being disrupted
- If you are worried about losing their money, that is a good thing
