How can you create a magic money tap that gives you enough capital so that you never run out of funding? In this episode I share the four 'C's of working with investors. Whether you are borrowing money as a loan, or setting up a Joint Venture to invest in HMOs, these 4 'C's are what ALL investors need from you.

By learning the insider secrets to raising finance you will never need to feel trapped and unable to invest. There is a process, there is a system, yet it is simple and anyone can learn how to do it. In fact, I would say you SHOULD learn how to do it! As my mentees often hear me say - 'It's when you run out of money that your learning really begins'!
