Money management and financial literacy are, unfortunately, not widely taught. This means that many of us have never had the opportunity to learn how to save money, how to invest or how to build wealth.
To make matters worse, the UK’s financial literacy gap disproportionally affects black communities and women. This has a detrimental impact on the levels of income as well as long-term wealth.
My guest today is Ayesha Ofori - a passionate advocate for financially empowering women and minorities, encouraging them to embark on property investment.
Ayesha is the founder of property investment company Axion, and two powerful communities – PropElle and the Black Property Network. Having gained financial independence through building a property portfolio, her mission is to make property investing more accessible to all women.
In this episode, Ayesha talks about her journey that saw her dabbling in property investment as a side hustle, to quitting her job and eventually pursuing her passion full time. We cover everything from getting started investing in property, to finding the best option according to your budget, as well as the pros and cons of investing in property as an asset.
