In this week’s podcast episode, we talk to Ekow Quagraine, the founder and CEO of Begrand Holdings, a company that specializes in property investment, management, sales, rental and student accommodation.

 

Ekow is a former banker and is now a full-time real estate investor.

 

In this episode, he tells us how he got started in real estate and investing from a young age. Ekow bought his first property a few years after graduating university, in 2008, when the market was crashing, he bought a 3 bedroom duplex for R400,000 (US$27,400) and started house hacking.

 

He lived in the property and rented out the other 2 bedrooms to his friends for R3000 (US$205) per month per room, they also shared utilities, food and petrol (gas) because they all worked at the same company.

 

He then used that money he got from the property to show affordability and was able to use a variety of strategies to buy 13 properties in 1 year without putting any of his own money in and was able to start building his real estate empire.
