In this episode, we sit down with Saif Rehan, a successful property investor and business owner, who shares his journey from accountancy to property. Saif opens up about the challenges of entrepreneurship, offering insights into how he overcame early obstacles and scaled his property development business. With experience across Buy-to-Let, Flips, HMOs, and more, he discusses key strategies for building a profitable portfolio and the importance of focusing on the right opportunities.

One of the central themes of this conversation is overcoming "Shiny Penny Syndrome" in business - the tendency to get distracted by multiple ventures. Saif explains how learning to say no allowed him to concentrate on the projects that truly mattered, which ultimately led to greater success. Beyond property, Saif also runs a project management consultancy and a new fast food venture with ambitious goals.

Whether you're interested in scaling a property development business or navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, this episode provides actionable advice and lessons from a successful property investor and developer.
