James: The Millennial Magpie

Transcript

James: I’m James. I work as an analyst for the NHS.

UOWN: How do you find the returns from UOWN?

James: Some of the peer-to-peer platforms, you can go up to like 12 percent, maybe even a little bit higher. But with property crowdfunding like UOWN, I found that it’s a bit more stable in return because they’re the kind of properties that have been rented for a long time and it’s pretty unlikely they’re going to stand empty for a student year.

UOWN: How has your experience been with UOWN?

James: Through UOWN, I’ve only been with them a couple of months but I’ve been getting the regular monthly payments and it’s looking just over six percent return on my investment for the year.

UOWN: Do you have any investment goals?

James: In the future, I would like to go buy a property myself. So it will all help towards it really, all the interest.
