Show Notes
Life and property. Sometimes, these elements mix well, and sometimes they don’t.
The Property Nomads are delighted to be joined this week by Aren Deu, a specialist in raising finance. Aren discusses his journey, the importance of being true to yourself, his experiences with mental health, and how he overcame them to raise over £1m worth of Joint Venture financing and built success in not just property but life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- After enduring a period in his life where he lost several people close to him, Aren’s perception on life was radically altered. He decided to funnel all of his energy into creating a lifestyle that could support him if he ever needed to give up work to care for those around him. Property was this path.
- Property is not something that Aren loves on a deeper level. It does not fire him up. But he respects it, and it has given him the lifestyle he needs in order to pursue his real passions.
- Be yourself. Everyone is trying to be the person they think they ought to be in order to raise money. Aren has definitely discovered, though, that he has been far more successful in raising finance by simply being himself, instead of inventing some creation that he believes will raise money.
- Integrity and honesty are Aren’s main values. Be kind. Have compassion. Practice empathy. Rid yourself of ego. Be authentic.
- Every property has its own challenge. Aren once had to refurbish a property three times until he found success with it. Problems happen. Have contingencies in place wherever possible and use your wits. Always try and be solution orientated.
- If you’re having trouble making an important decision, look for a blueprint set down by someone else already. Look at those who’ve walked the path before you and follow in their footsteps if you can.
