I've been researching UK property for 3 years.
But when I came to the UK Discovery Day I realised the one thing that was missing - having the right team so I can manage a UK business from South Africa.
I am ready to buy now!
South African politics is up to nonsense at the moment, and we have some properties and aren't sure which way things are going.
I always knew there were opportunities in UK property, but today made it a reality. This is a vision for what can happen - it's now possible. I can't wait to get my first property and to see my first profit!
It was a very valuable day, learning about the UK property market as a diversification for my assets.
One big take-away was the mindset needed - you don't necessarily have to have your own money.
I want to encourage anyone to come to one of these days, you will not regret it!
