Honest Property Investment with Natasha Collins

Today, I’m very excited, I’ve got Chris Moore with me. Chris is a Heritage Specialist, Chartered Surveyor, Project Manager, Owner of REDEC Refurbishment, Researcher AND property investor.

Chris and I chat about some pertinent questions, such as: 

Enjoy this podcast!

In this podcast, I'm going to let you into my and my husband Chris' bubble that we have going on here in our apartment. We have been working from home together since the 10th March, lockdown really came into force on the 16th March and we’ve been figuring out the new dynamic within our family.

Spoiler alert… we’ve handled this much better than I thought we would!

Come and join us as we talk through what we’ve been doing over the past couple of months, how we’ve handled the highs and the lows and what we’ve learnt so far.

It’s a little bit of fun AND my usually private husband wanted to come and have a chat.

How have you been handling lockdown? 

Today, I’m very excited, I’ve got Aren Deu on the podcast with me today. Aren is a property investor and health and fitness expert and mental health advocate. He has some incredible outlooks on life in terms of mindset, overcoming mental health challenges and is the host of the Find Your Voice Podcast.

Here are a couple of questions that Aren and I go through in this podcast: 

Aren's BIO: 

Aren Deu has spent his life trying to make those around him do and feel better. From helping people with their physical and mental health to becoming a social worker to try to change the world, most of his work has been done to give back.

Recognising that bureaucracy and his own mental health battles with high functioning anxiety would hinder that he began to go on a journey of understanding himself. So Aren blindly jumped into the property space, spending £1000s on courses to change his families lives and his own. Recognising it wasn’t all fun and games, he became what he calls “the king of failure”.

However, learning from every opportunity and taking that adversity and resilient mindset forward he began to make a success of it. Raising over £1,000,000 and funding projects with investors over the years Arens long term future looks to be secure. Although never a priority, Aren has used this as an excuse to spend even more time doing more time in the mental health space. No monetization, no source of income, these are just pure passion projects that for the past 2 years Aren has spent over 20+ hours a week on. This also birthed the Find Your Voice podcast which has a been huge success across 50+ countries and ranking in the top charts for mental health.

I live by many mantras in life. Two of which are: “Help as many people as you can.” & “Always help without expectations”

2020 sees Aren wanting to speak more in the fields he works in about Mental Health and raising awareness to the darker sides of peoples thoughts, and poorly brains not just in their own personal lives, but also in the property space. What happens when partners steal from you? What happens when deals fall from under your feet? Or projects overrun, on time and budget? What happens when tenants refuse to pay? All these things are rarely spoken of and in turn can have detrimental effects on your life, so hopefully with the right tools and guidance Aren will at least try to get peoples health prioritised and looked after along the way.

Today, I’m very excited, I’ve got Jackie Tomes from Tomes Homes with me. She’s a property investment strategist and property investor and has built a property portfolio worth £6million in under 6 years. Listen to us chat about "For any investors that are just starting out, what tips would you give them?", and more!

About Jackie: On a Ski Holiday in 2013, I decided that I wanted to have more freedom and time than I could have in my job as a Qualitative Market Researcher... so that I could go lots of holidays and adventures with my husband Dave! That lead to the creation of Tomes Homes, which has since then built a £Multi-Million property portfolio of single lets Kent.
