Building a £Multi-Million BTL Portfolio in the North, then a monster 12 bed HMO, quitting your job, vendor financing and more with ARCH Investments

About ARCH Investments:We are Rosie and Allan of ARCH Investments from Kent. We have built a diverse, multi-million pound property portfolio over the last 3 years, which has now enabled me (Rosie) to leave my job and become a full-time property investor (Jan 2021). We started out focussing on buy to lets in the North West and were not intending on moving away from this model until a 12 bed HMO landed on our laps and turned us to the dark side. Since then we have begun to focus on diversifying our portfolio further with our next deal being a mixed use building in Kent. We have ticked a lot of the ‘creative property investing’ boxes so far on our journey: angel financing, vendor finance, money in money out projects, direct to vendor deals, multi-property purchase agreements; and we look forward to ticking off many more in the coming few years.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.Links:https://www.instagram.com/archinvestments/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/archinvestmentwww.arch-investments.co.ukLinked In: @archinvestmentsTej InvestsTej TalkseLearning Hosted on Acast.
