Sarah Blaney On What It Takes To Be An Angel Investor

In this episode of the This Property Life podcast, Caroline Claydon is joined by Sarah Blaney to discuss the pros and cons of working with angel investors in the property business. They delve into the benefits for angel investors, how to find them, and how to structure agreements and interest rates. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Angel investors are private individuals with capital to lend to property investors. They are typically high net worth individuals who have money that is not being used effectively.

Finding angel investors is possible by networking and sharing your investment opportunities with others. It's important to approach them with a win-win mindset, showing them how their investment can benefit your business.

The structure of the agreement with angel investors can vary depending on the needs and preferences of both parties. This includes the amount of investment, the interest rate, and the repayment terms.

Interest rates for angel investors can range from 5% to 12%, depending on the market conditions and the specific project. It's important to offer a competitive rate that aligns with the risk and return of the investment.

Building relationships with angel investors is crucial for long-term success. Trust and credibility are key factors in attracting and retaining angel investors, and repeat investments are common when a strong relationship has been established.

BEST MOMENTS

"You're not doing them a favour. You're doing them the favour. It's a complete win-win situation." 

"There's so much safety built into [property deals] because we have surveys done, we understand what the valuations are." 

"This is a people business and to build relationships." 

"We are quite picky about who we will do business with." 

"Start your money raising pretty much on day one… building your credibility and showing that you are doing this professionally."
