#006 Aqeel Khan: Building £3M in Property in Just 30 Months

Descripción

In this episode of the Property Founder Podcast, we sit down with Aqeel Khan to break down how he built £3M worth of property in just 30 months — starting young and learning the hard lessons most people only see when it’s too late. Aqeel opens up about raising over £1.4M in capital, why he focuses on North West property, and how he’s built a done-for-you portfolio service for professionals like doctors and CEOs who want ownership, not just returns. We also go deeper than deals. Aqeel talks candidly about: * Going from imposter syndrome to real responsibility once people start watching * The pressure of influence and why he’s careful about what he promotes * Why he avoids pushing clients into high-risk development and bridging deals * Building a serious power team without formal partners * Using social media intentionally; not for clout, but to attract the right investors * The difference between content that looks good and content that actually drives business This conversation is about speed with discipline, capital with caution, and growth without losing your head. If you’re building in property, raising money, or navigating visibility while trying to stay grounded, this one will hit. 🎙️ Subscribe for more conversations with real operators building real businesses.

#007 Aidan Doyle: Aidan Doyle: Leaving the UK to Sell 250 Million AED in Dubai Real Estate

What does it really take to leave the UK and build a career in Dubai real estate? In this episode of Property Founder, we sit down with Aidan Doyle, a Dubai-based real estate broker and co-founder of a media-first brokerage, Imara, to unpack the real story behind the move so many people talk about but few actually make. Aidan moved to Dubai at 19 knowing nobody, no clients, and no guarantees. The first year was brutal. Months without a deal, borrowing money to survive, and battling loneliness behind the scenes. Then everything changed when he leaned into content, personal brand, and a completely different way of building a brokerage. We dive into the realities of Dubai real estate versus the UK, the myths sold on social media and why media and self-mastery have been the biggest catalysts in Aidan’s rise. We also unpack mindset, environment, family expectations and what young agents/brokers need to know before chasing the Dubai dream. This conversation is for anyone considering Dubai real estate, building a personal brand, or questioning whether their current environment is holding them back. Topics we cover: * Why Aidan left the UK for Dubai at 19 * The reality of Dubai real estate behind the highlights * Dubai vs UK property opportunity * Building a media-first real estate brokerage * Personal brand as a growth engine * Self-mastery, mindset, and environment * What new agents must know before moving to Dubai If you are building in property, business, or thinking about making a bold move, this one is for you.
