10 Deals fallen through, 3 HMOs, 1 BTL and working with your family, Radhika talks!

About Radhika:Radhika started off her journey at age 23 when she started her first corporate job by stumbling on an Instagram post. The curiosity kicked in and so Radhika started learning more about property and attending networking sessions around London.Radhika discovered two of her Aunties were also in the property world whereby one of Radhika's Auntie Minel helped her get her first property through a property sourcer. Since then, the three of them have formed their own property company called Your Cosy Home focusing on providing luxury and affordable accommodation for professionals with a combined portfolio of 4 properties (with a lot of properties fallen through) and in the process of buying another property. Radhika has also used social media to build up her brand which has led on to having conversations with investors, growing the business and networking with other property people. About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing. Soon after his second job… he was fired! A moment of relief and freedom was what he felt, not sure what his mother felt when he told her he was jobless at 23…He then went in search of a more ethical path, a business he could set up where the reward was equal to the work put in. “If they are making pounds, why am I making pennies?” - was his thought process, not happy with slow progression and bureaucracy (& having to wear smart shoes everyday). This lead him to opening a Recruitment business (not sure where the ethics went) which doubled in profit every year, for 4 years. He hated it. Golden handcuffs they call it.Fortunately, he used the cash he’d built up from that business, to educate himself in Property Investing. Soon, he’d stopped the business and transitioned into Property Investment full time. He then had a slow start -Purchasing 15 properties in his first 9 months, using over £650,000 of Investor Finance, he built a £1,200,000 property portfolio and created £30,000 of profit from flips. This gave him ‘financial freedom’, but it was the most stressful period of his life. Growing quickly is very painful.Let’s not forget that his Podcast grew to be the most-reviewed UK Property Podcast, peaking at 4,000 unique downloads per episode.His Podcast (Tej Talks) now sits at 660,000 downloads in over 100 countries and has 489 reviews, rated 5/5.
