Episode Details

Dan Cheetham is a property trader and investor who, in just 12 months, has completed 23 property deals. His approach? Buying stock that shouldn't be in auction in the first place, no heavy refurbs, no complicated developments, just smart buying, solid fundamentals, and an obsession with purchase price.

Dan shares what it actually took to build that pipeline from a near-standing start. We get into his auction model in detail, how he prices risk on properties he's never seen and why he walked away from buy-to-let. If you want to learn about property trading, this is a must listen.
