Kam has over 29 years of property experience. He is regarded as one of the UK’s most influential and most respected property investors and developers because of how active he is in the UK Property market. 

But it wasn't always like that. He grew up in one of the poorest areas in East London, and his circumstances motivated him to escape from life that many people were stuck in.

Fast forward to today and Kam has implemented and still does implement a variety of property investing strategies successfully, such as: buy to lets, HMOs, Serviced Accommodation, Permitted Developments, New Builds, and Commercial Conversions, which means he has built up a significant multimillion-pound property portfolio.

He now uses his knowledge, experience and contacts to help other investors and developers (both new and experienced) to take their property investing to the next level.

How to start a property-based business

Expert property investor Kam Dovedi shares his top tips.

&lt;p&gt;My motto in life and work is 'Meet people, make friends, and help them.'&amp;nbsp;Getting to know people is the best way of finding out what makes them tick in terms of goals, ambitions, dreams, interests and life in general. I help people by listening to what they need, suggesting ideas, sending links, making introductions, adding value, and offering relevant products and services, where appropriate. When friends have a problem, I love to help them fix it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My varied portfolio career means I have knowledge, experience and contacts in many fields. I am an expert in book publishing, media, mentoring, writing, editing, marketing, crowdfunding, sponsorship, social enterprise and commercial start-ups.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
