James D'Souza is joined by Dan Fatica of DJF Asset Management, to talk about all things investing, how he transitioned from buy-to-lets to London investing, as well as how bridging operators work and how you can add this valuable tool to your investing armoury.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Every time we face a problem and fix them, we add another tool to our toolkit. Things may be hard at the outset, but they get easier with each lesson learned.
• Mastering local area knowledge is essential to making the most of where you invest. Establishing a power team and knowing the best prices to pay will allow you to move sooner and take advantage of all opportunities.
• Lettings agents are working for you. You are the client and you pay them, so there's no shame in wanting to get the best for your money.
• Understanding the valuation metrics of your chosen lenders is essential, as the more open-ended open market valuers are going to attach higher values to properties in general. If there's a higher value there, then you can borrow more.

 BEST MOMENTS

'It took me so long to learn the craft'
