In this episode, Saam speaks to Vanish Patel - successful property investor and developer, master networker and capital raiser. Vanish Patel started his journey towards financial independence in the early 2000’s, when he quit his day job to become a full-time property investor. Although working as an IT Contractor in central London enabled him to generate a good income, he knew that owning income-producing assets was the only way to achieve financial independence. Vanish now has two decades of hands-on property experience and is an expert at finding and on-boarding private investors. This superpower has enabled him to accelerate the growth of his property business. He loves helping new and experienced property investors learn how to fast track their journey towards financial independence by finding and on-boarding private investors._______________________________________This episode is sponsored by PLMD Group.PLMD Group is made up of PLMD Development, PLMD Estate Management and PLMD Capital.
