Kensington November 2020 Meeting 

Welcome to the new, more rewarding and financial era - Tom Edmunds

At this month's pin meeting, Tom Edmunds, Borrower Manager at CrowdProperty, will be talking about the dawn of technology-enabled alternative finance, which the UK leads the world in. 'Fintech' is breaking new boundaries and making financial services far more efficient and therefore more rewarding for customers.

 During Tom’s presentation you will learn:

• What Alternative Finance is and why it’s the future of finance
• Why it benefits everyone (except the banks)
• How CrowdProperty is harnessing technology to disrupt the property finance sector
• How CrowdProperty can help you grow your property business faster

CrowdProperty is becoming the number one place for SME property professionals to easily raise finance for property projects. Offering bridging, refurbishment, development, auction and 'special situations' (just ask their experts) funding, CrowdProperty is funding projects in minutes (and sometimes seconds) on their platform from 8,000 lenders, funding £100m of property and 600 Great British Homes to date. Applying complex technology and deep property expertise, CrowdProperty more efficiently matches the supply and demand of capital, meaning a better deal for both borrowers and lenders alike.

CrowdProperty is different because:

• They are property experts and understand your need for speed, ease and certainty
• You speak directly to their expert decision makers
• They will give initial decisions in 24 hours
• There are no hidden fees (there are often so many), complexity nor profit share
• There are no last-minute changes
• They offer loans from £100k-£5m+
• They can fund up to 100% Loan to Cost (project dependent)
• Interest is rolled up
• Drawdowns are fast and easy
• They work in direct partnership with you – we all want your project to be a success    

As Borrower Manager for CrowdProperty, Tom is the first point of call for all project applications and works alongside the borrower to ensure speed, certainty and ease for the complete borrower journey. As Tom personally invests in property and has a small portfolio of developments in the West Midlands, he fully understands the importance of speed and certainty and the challenges borrowers can face when they need to get a project done.  Tom is a customer focused individual with a passion for delivering on their commitments to make your project a great success.

ALSO...Fight the Fear and Succeed in Property and beyond! Annie Vinton 

By her own admission, she is a mixture of appearing to be confident but inside she's not.  She has several personal ‘hang-ups’ that have held her back and hampered her progress in everyday life and her property journey.

Annie has developed her own techniques to help her over-come her internal fears and through this she has achieved more than she ever thought possible.  

During Annie's presentation she will cover:

• Admitting that she never thought she would be able to stand up and speak to a group of people. Thanks to her property training with Simon now she can!
• From the presentations she has done to date, it surprises her that many people relate to her fears and her talk has helped them believe that the unbelievable is possible
• She will share her MM24 journey, the highs and the lows
• She will talk through her Purchase Lease Option (PLO) deal that secured her place as a MM24 Top Performer
• When you have a lack of confidence or internal fear you believe you are the only one.  Annie knows now that isn’t the case and her aim is to help others to overcome their own fears and grow in confidence to achieve to their own potential.
