Who talks about property on their first tinder date?
Alexandra Powell and her now husband, Richard, that's who! On date
one, having met on Tinder, they talked about property investment,
development and refurbs without knowing that they would eventual
tie the knot and become business partners. WE LOVE THIS!!!
Today, Alexandra, of @powell_properties shares with us her story on
how she ‘accidentally’ got into the property business while
studying Architecture at University. From a simple discussion with
her parents about the cost of renting, she managed to convince them
to invest in a 2-bedroom apartment and then rented out the second
bedroom. She then sold the house after graduating and this is where
her property journey began.
Being married to an Engineer, Alexandra and Richard were both
knowledgeable about design and construction but admittedly needed
schooling up on the investment side. So, they got educated in
property, started meeting people, taking on mentors, reading books
and listening to podcasts - and yes, Property Jam included!
As another power couple in property business, Alexandra shares with
us how they manage to handle the business as partners and a married
couple as well as having a cute little one in the mix as well.
