BIG Property Investments is the creation of Paul Bieg and was born from a love of every facet of property investment. Paul believes the only path to unlimited wealth through property investments lies in identifying cashflow positive properties. He has learned that so long as a property is cashflow positive, it melts the resistance of the banks to become investment partners. Subsequently, he has developed a formula that delivers cashflow positive properties and is always keen to share those insights with his investment partners. "I like to develop a symbiotic relationship with my fellow investors," explains Paul, "where the issue of trust doesn't arise and is not asked for because there is always complete disclosure."
