The Property Vault Podcast - 053 - S.W.A.N. Investing in Liverpool with Leo Suárez & Jane Bayler

Unlocking Property Knowledge: S.W.A.N. Investing in Liverpool with Leo Suárez & Jane Bayler  In this podcast episode, hosts Dan Hulbert and Amy Rowlinson speak with guests Leo Suárez and Jane Bayler. Their unique collaboration provides them with opportunity to work with all types of investors understanding their different priorities, requirements and anticipated returns to find tailored solutions through a variety of sustainable business model offerings.   Putting the investor in the driving seat, they work with ultra-high net worth individuals to those who are just starting out offering security and return throughout the process of portfolio building using the buy, refurb, refinance and hold business model which is then subsequently managed to achieve high returns for their investors in Liverpool.   To achieve a S.W.A.N. (sleep well at night) investor status, they apply a long-term mentality to their business and put people first! Learnt through personal experience, Jane says you need to work with the ‘good guys’ in property by spending time to get to know them, not to just jump in and form partnerships without taking time. Together with Dan and Amy, Leo and Jane discuss the 6Rs in joint ventures which are risk, relationship, reward, responsibility, reality and being realistic.   This podcast covers all areas of property investment including due diligence, transparency, analyses and internal rate of the return (IRR). Jane talks about how it is not a good idea to go it alone in an area that is unknown to you where you don’t fully understand the market, nor what the rental demand is nor how to assess the demand and the growth patterns. This is the marked difference between amateur and professional property investing.  LINKS  https://www.linkedin.com/in/suarezleo/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/janebayler/  Email - [email protected]    BOOKS & PODCASTS  The Smart Connector by Jane Bayler  The Smart Connector Podcast with Jane Bayler  Bienes Raíces UK with Leo Suárez  ABOUT THE GUESTS  Jane Bayler is the Founder of Invest Develop Capital Partners, a property developer, author and investor.
