The art of Financing Property Deals Effectively In terms of finance the late Ian Fife , investor , property journalist and contrarian said that ‘ property investment is only about cash flow .” Early investors worry about cash flow , as the portfolio matures , the focus shifts to what is good for the balance sheet .. Decide which one you are ?’
Some finance gems to consider for cash flow investors :
• Property is fundamentally a cash flow play for smaller investors
• Balance sheet investing is more on commercial terms , structure , projected cash flows of projects
• Term , interest cost and structure financing is focused on cash flow
• Look for finance that matches your cash flow and a project size that matches your current personal competence
• Make sure the finance matches your cash flows – so that you are never out of cash
• TUHF ’ s role is to ensure we get our customers over the line financially
Lasting Legacy Jackson ’ s lasting legacy and impression is clear cut as to what he would like to leave in business and the world . Making profit is one thing but making a profit and a difference simultaneously is an entirely different challenge . He wants to ensure that in addition to being commercially competitive , all TUHF ’ s work has made a difference to communities , to change people ’ s lives and that they have stimulated local economic development . Secondly to be successful you need to be authentic , reliable and resilient for the long term . Commercial viability and Impact Investing need to work simultaneously .
