In this episode, Rob speaks to Daniel Duffield the co-founder of KOVE Properties and KOVE Estates. He is an architect by trade, who joined up with Jez Wood to shake up the way rentals are done in the UK. They do things differently to provide tenants with safe, secure homes at the same time providing services and building portfolios for property developers and investors to enable them to do this.

Daniel and Rob discuss how he went from being an architect to founding KOVE properties. They discuss the mistakes they made and how they handled things in ways that enabled them to learn and turn things into a positive. Daniel explains how he hires and manages tradespeople for multiple projects for multiple clients. They also discuss two easy ways to get started working in property. In particular, how to build experience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Always give as much value as you can and help as many people as you can. When you do that, great things happen.
• Having a positive mindset makes you someone people want to be around and work with.
• Even if a friend recommends a tradesperson, still take the time to check them out before hiring them.
• Never skip the research process. Often, it only takes an hour.
• Own up to your mistakes, offer a solution and pay to fix the problem. Clients appreciate honesty and will want to work with you over the long term.
• Even when you hire good builders you need to keep a check on them. If you don´t the quality is likely to slip.
• Don´t be afraid to lean on professionals. Risk equals cost.
• Spend your time doing the income-generating tasks and hire others to do the rest.
• Don’t be afraid to work for free to learn how the property business works.
