In this week’s podcast episode, we talk to Jovi Chen an entrepreneur, real estate investor and venture capitalist.
He is currently a CEO at Zen Consortium, a leading Impact investment & advisory firm, with offices in South Africa, UK, Turkey, in 2019, Zen was nominated as the “Most Innovative Business & Social Development Solutions- South Africa” by Global Brands Award.
Jovi was originally born in Taiwan, but he moved to South Africa in 1992, when his parents invited him over to check it out.
His parents always stressed the importance of investing in property when he was growing up so after a few years of blowing his money on partying he started his journey in real estate and bought his first property cash.
In this podcast episode Jovi shares how to invest in non-physical real estate assets through Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and why these are a great option for people who don’t have enough money to get into real estate or for people who just don’t want the hassles of physical property.
Jovi also shares how he gets 40% of his tenants to pay him 12 months rent upfront and how he gets to invest in China and other countries outside of South Africa.
Jovi shared some great investing resources with us in this podcast, check them out:
