Episode 33: How to invest in property without any legwork

In episode 33, we interview Hannes Dupper, who started off as an entrepreneur in his 20s and made R14 million by the age of 26; investing in property. 

Through a series of mishaps, he lost most of the money and reinvented himself. 

He's now the Managing Director of the DJV Group, a company that helps newbie investors start investing in property without doing all the leg work.

DJV offers mentorship and education to upcoming property investors; over time they realized that a lot of people don't have startup capital to get started as property investors- or they reach a ceiling where the bank won't give them any more money. 

So they started offering people alternative ways to invest in property:

- People can invest R150, 000 ($8000) in DJV and make a return of 20% per annum over 5 years

- People can contribute R2, 000 ($106) per month over 5 years and still get a return of 20%

They (DJV) take investor money and use that to buy gap housing - 2 bedroom, entry level properties that costs between R600, 000 and R1 million. After 5 years the property appreciates in value and also becomes cashflow positive. 

So the company benefits and the investors benefit. 

This is a really informative episode and it's perfect for the investor who's short of time or just doesn't want the hassle of doing the leg work of deciding on the perfect property to invest in...
