ABOUT RICK
After starting life in a career as a mechanical engineer I decided in 2006 that my pension wasn’t panning out as I’d expected and the hours being worked weren’t productive to family life. Becoming ever frustrated in the day job, I decided to get re-educated in the field of property investing. From a standing start, my wife and I created a portfolio in the South-East in just under 18 months which allowed us to effectively retire should we wish to.
One of the turning points was when I discovered the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert T Kiyosaki. For those that have read it will know that once you’ve read this book it opens your mind to new ways of thinking and believing that new ventures and opportunities are possible. Little did I expect to meet the man in person a year later and then go on to be a consultant and advanced trainer for the Rich Dad Education company, helping other new aspiring property investors begin their journey towards financial freedom. I am a strong believer and implementer of some of Robert’s powerful techniques of how to use OPM – Other People’s Money to rapidly grow your investment portfolio.
My wife and I continue to grow our portfolio which includes Buy To Let properties rented to single families but also contains larger Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) which are larger multi-let properties rented out by the room.
More recently, I have focussed efforts on acquiring sources of Private Investment Funding with like-minded investors in order to take on larger refurbishment and development projects across the South. In just over 6 months, my business partner and I have managed to secure just over £1.5 Million in investment funds.
