After studying business economics, Michel Lindenburg started his career on the bustling Amsterdam stock exchange and spent ten years trading options. Next he went to work at Rabobank as a mortgage advisor, trained to be a certified financial planner and subsequently became a business advisor. Michel has worked at business specialist FinaForte for five years now. He assists businesses with their (complex) financing in the broadest sense of the word and is also a valuable sparring partner for both novice and experienced real estate investors. His golden tip: “treat your real estate investment(s) like a business, even if you’re not an entrepreneur. Because an entrepreneur considers all the problems and risks relating to their investments with a view to earning the best-possible return on them. This mindset is essential to being able to earn a sustainable return on bricks and mortar – whether it’s your first or your tenth investment property!’’
