This is one of my favourite episodes!
Saam Lowni has bucket loads of experience in property as an estate agent, investor, landlord, developer, YouTuber, lender and broker.
Saam has a long history in property, dating back to his childhood in Durham during the 1980s, where his parents would buy houses in coal mining villages for 2-3K, refurbish them, and sell them for 4-5K.
He soon convinced his family to add to their portfolio in the North-East of the country with properties across the North-East of London.
After a spell in Hong Kong, he returned to the UK, refinanced the family portfolio to raise cash to buy student HMOs in Kent and Coventry.
Tune in to find out:
· Why Saam prefers professionals to students
· Why he reduces rents to increase his overall returns
· Why he aims to be Best in Class
· How to find opportunities in Article 4 Areas
· What he thinks about investing in the North-East
We also tap into Saam’s experience in property finance to get a beginner’s guide to terms such as Capital Stack / Mezzanine Finance / Unitranche Financing / Stretch Lender / Senior Debt / Juniour Debt / Intercreditor Agreements and more!
