Deal Packaging Forever with Violet Harrison

David is with Violet Harrison who has extensive expertise in both property and interior design. They talk about Violet’s passion for deal packaging and her experiences as the deal packaging space has evolved. There have been many changes as deal packaging has moved forward from the requirements to be compliant, to the ‘gentleman’s agreement’ being replaced  by the terms and conditions that are now a standard part of the process when working with investors. Violet shares great advice on what’s really important for professional deal packagers and some great tips on building great relationships with people.   KEY TAKEAWAYS BMI is something that if you work at it will work for you but if you don’t put the effort in nothing is going to work. People make a decision about a property in the first few minutes. You never know everything there is always more to learn. You have to be compliant if you want to deal package successfully. It’s a numbers game and you have to look at a lot of properties to find good deals at the moment. 1 in 3 deals collapses so it’s worth revisiting properties that you lost previously. It’s a hot market currently so you need to work intensively to ensure you have the right properties for your investors. When you begin to work with a potential investor there are steps that help to qualify how serious they are. It’s important to build your network and relationships because deal packaging is about people.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I flipped the first property accidentally and everything has grown from there’ ‘I love what I do and will be deal packaging forever’ ‘I had a huge network and this was critical’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.
