About Luke:Until the age of 35, Luke worked as an engineering consultant, predominantly within the Oil & Gas industry. However, the sacrifice of time that working around the UK and offshore required, led him to seek an alternative path. Luke started investing in property in 2011 alongside the day job and has since grown a seven figure property portfolio in his hometown of Hull & also East Yorkshire. With a strong focus on raising the quality of rented accommodation in the local area, whilst delivering a management service that tenants quite often struggle to get elsewhere.

Aside from growing his own portfolio, Luke assists busy professionals via a successful property deal packaging business. Buy, Refurbish & Refinance has been the main strategy utilised over the years with a selection of flip projects, title splits & planning gain projects too. Developing methods of finding fantastic direct to vendor deals along the way.

By his own admission his biggest mistake was keeping his first 5 years in property a secret from just about everyone. Since that time Luke has completed multiple projects with joint venture partners & has joined an illustrious club of investors by being featured in YPN Magazine twice!

Luke has also teamed up with fellow highly respected property investor Jon Dale. Together combining 25 years of property experience, to deliver new and exciting actionable property education via Go All In Education.

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.
