Director Clear-Investments | Build to Rent | Specialised In Dealing With High Net Worth Individuals In UK & Internationally

I help investors secure genuine off-market London property with speed, discretion, and clean title — not recycled listings.

Trusted by family offices, HNWIs, and private investors, I specialise in sourcing prime residential and BTR opportunities across Zones 1–3 — from Chelsea to Hampstead — through direct-to-vendor relationships that others rarely access.

My approach is simple: deliver real access and real execution. Every deal is structured with clarity, legal integrity, and investor pace — working closely with trusted lawyers, finance brokers, and planners to make decisions happen fast.

Clients work with me because I value trust over transaction and precision over pressure. Whether it’s a single apartment or a multi-unit block, I’m focused on long-term partnerships, not one-off deals.

Outside of property, I’m a competitive cyclist — and that mindset of discipline, endurance, and focus shapes how I operate in business too.

If you’re allocating capital in London residential property or want boots-on-the-ground sourcing with genuine access, let’s connect.

I’m back after a two-month break from LinkedIn.

And a few things changed while I was away.

First, LinkedIn feels louder than before.
More opinions. More noise. Less depth.

Second, everyone seems to be in a rush to sell something.

Faster pitches. 
Shorter attention. 
Quicker judgments.

And third, genuine conversations feel rarer.
But when they happen, they matter more than ever.

But more than all of that, something else happened.

When I opened LinkedIn after those two months, I saw hundreds of unread messages.

Messages saying:

“Ifti, are you okay?”
“Where did you disappear?”
“Hope everything is fine on your end.”
“LinkedIn doesn’t feel the same without your insights.”

I didn’t expect that.

And that’s when it hit me.

Over the last year, without being loud or trying to impress, I had built something real.

Not just content.
Not just visibility.

A small, loyal community of people who cared beyond the post.

And that means a lot to me.

So yes, I’m back.
But things will be different this time.

This profile won’t be about surface-level updates or chasing attention.

I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned from 25 years on the ground in Central London property,
the realities people don’t talk about,
the decisions that protect reputations,
and the thinking that helps trusted advisors serve their clients better.

I want this space to be about meaningful conversations,

with people who value discretion, long-term thinking, and doing things the right way, even when it’s not the easiest way.

If you believe relationships matter more than transactions, and clarity matters more than noise,

we’ll get along just fine.

Good to be back.

P.S. - How has the new year been treating you so far?

Everyone talks about off-market property.

Very few understand what it actually means.

In Central London, off-market is not about secrecy or special listings. 

It’s about trust, timing, and long-standing relationships.

Developers don’t “release” inventory quietly by accident. 

They do it because they know 

-> Who can execute
-> Who won’t waste time
-> Who understands the responsibility that comes with introducing the right buyer.

After 25 years on the ground, I’ve learned this:

Access is built long before a deal ever exists.

That’s why relying on generic agents or last-minute sourcing often puts advisors in uncomfortable positions with their best clients.

The real work happens much earlier.

In conversations, credibility, and consistency.

P.S- Do you think off-market is about information, or relationships?

‘’Big” doesn’t mean better in multifamily.

Smart investors look for quality, not just quantity.

Here’s what makes a deal truly top-tier:

✅ Scale = Efficiency
 More units = lower cost per door = stronger margins.

✅ Fully Integrated Operations
Operators who handle acquisition, construction, leasing, and management reduce execution risk.

✅ Cash Flow + Value Growth
Steady income with upside from renovations and operational improvements.

✅ Data-Driven Risk Management
In-depth underwriting to identify risks early—so you don’t have to worry later.

At Sondhi Capital, we vet every deal for our investors.

Risk management is our foundation—and every deal is negotiated to offer better terms and stronger returns.

The hardest part of being an entrepreneur isn’t the work—
it’s your mindset.

Here’s how I 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 as an entrepreneur.

A few years ago, I was hustling 15-hour days to build my real estate business in a new country. 

Burnout hit hard—my health and relationships suffered, and every setback felt like failure.

The root cause? 𝐌𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭—fear of failure and constant comparison.

What changed everything:

1️⃣ Celebrating small wins. 
2️⃣ Setting small, achievable goals. 
3️⃣ Starting each day with gratitude. 
4️⃣ Leaning on mentors and positive peers.
5️⃣ Prioritizing "me time" through meditation and reading. 

This mindset shift took me from survival mode to thriving—closing deals, building relationships, and enjoying the process.

✅ Mindset is everything. 

What’s one habit or mindset shift that’s helped you thrive during tough times? Let’s share ideas below!

I tell investors exactly how I get paid—

and that’s why they stay.

Imposter syndrome whispered:
“Who are you to charge this much?”

For a long time, I listened.

But then I realized something—
𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐭.

My #1 value? 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲.

I never hide:

• How do I make money
• How I negotiate better terms for investors
• How the totals really look

At Sondhi Capital, transparency isn’t marketing.
It’s the ethos.
It’s how trust is built.

And when I leaned into that—
Fees stopped being a confession.
They became proof of value.

Investors don’t just “accept” my fees now.
They respect them.

Your values can turn imposter syndrome into confidence.
Mine did.

What’s the one value you’ll never compromise on in business?

For most of my 20s and early 30s, I thought I was behind.

I moved countries — India to the U.S.
Chased opportunity.
𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞.

→ Event management gigs in college.
→ Working in my family business. 
→ A startup that taught me humility.
→ An MBA to reset direction.
→ Years as a real estate broker.
→ Now, building as a fund manager.

At the time, it felt scattered.
Like I was constantly restarting.

But at 37, I see it clearly.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲.

✅ Resilience from starting over
✅ Discipline from family business
✅ Humility from startups
✅ Structure from my MBA
✅ Market instincts and 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩-𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 from brokerage
✅ Capital allocation and 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 from fund management

Nothing was wasted.
Nothing was random.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫.

If you’re questioning your path right now — remember this:

𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝.
𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠.

And what you’re doing today
is quietly shaping tomorrow.

Most bad real estate losses don’t come from bad luck.
They come from ignoring a simple filter.

I use the same 3 questions on every deal — and I walk the moment one fails.

No debate. No exceptions.

This discipline has mattered far more than chasing upside.

The video breaks it down.

You could be analyzing the numbers perfectly.
But if you’re not in the right room,
You’ll never see the best deal.

Returns don’t come from spreadsheets.
They come from 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬.

And access isn’t luck — it’s earned.

𝐁𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨:

✅ Deliver capital before closing
✅ Run deep due diligence
✅ Follow a proven system
✅ Build trust with top operators

In private investing, the real money is made before the deal —
When you’re in early, with the right team.

What builds trust for you in a fund manager or GP? I'd love to hear from you.

Most 401(k)s and IRAs are invested in a very narrow set of options.

That’s the problem.

What if your retirement capital could generate real cash flow—not just long-term projections?

On February 5 at 4 PM EST, I’m hosting a live webinar on how investors are using 401(k) and IRA capital to access cash-flowing multifamily real estate—the right way.

I’ll be joined by Andrea Chacín, CISP a Self-Directed IRA specialist who helps investors structure retirement accounts for real estate and private equity.

We’ll cover:

 • Why traditional retirement portfolios are often overconcentrated
 • How SDIRAs actually work (and what to avoid)
 • Where multifamily real estate fits into a long-term retirement strategy

Retirement accounts shouldn’t sit idle for decades.

They should work.

Owning real estate can be the best investment — 
Or the biggest time-suck.

Ever handled a leaking roof from 8,000 miles away?

Or chased a tenant who’s 3 weeks late on rent?

If you’re chasing 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 through active property management…

You’re doing it the hard way.

Here’s the smarter path:

At 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐢 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥, we:

 ✅ Rigorously vet each deal through due diligence
 ✅ Negotiate better waterfall structures for investors
 ✅ Partner only with top-tier operators
 ✅ Handle asset management end-to-end

You get:

✔️ Monthly cash flow
✔️ Depreciation tax benefits
✔️ Long-term appreciation
✔️ Institutional-level reporting and access

No tenants.
No 2 a.m. calls.
No guesswork.

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡—𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

And with the right partner, passive income finally lives up to its name.

📩 DM me to see how we turn active chaos into hands-free returns.

(Not an offer to buy or sell securities. For educational purposes only.)

Losing money hurts. 
Especially when you weren’t the one calling the shots.

Passive investing sounds great… until a “passive” deal goes south.

I’ve heard this more times than I can count:

“I trusted someone, wired the money, and then the updates stopped.”

Here’s how my investors protect themselves — even if they’ve been burned before:

1. 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬.

High returns mean nothing if there’s no real operator or strategy behind them.
A boring deal with a clear plan usually wins.

2. 𝐕𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡.

I don’t just show pro formas — I show people.
Track records, downside protection, and skin in the game all matter more than hype.

3. 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Trust grows when the fund manager has a consistent system, not one-off wins.
Every deal I bring follows the same tight playbook.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡:

✅ Being “passive” doesn’t mean being blind. It means trusting a structure that protects you.

**What’s one lesson you learned from a past investing mistake?**👇

‘’My calendar is full, so real estate investing always gets pushed to later.”

That’s not a discipline problem.
It’s a time problem.

Busy professionals don’t need more ideas — they need 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞.

That’s where 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 comes in.

→ Deep due diligence done for you
→ Access institutional-quality deals
→ Invest alongside a trusted fund manager
→ No tenants. No management. No extra job.

Your capital works quietly in the background
while you focus on your career, family, and life.

You don’t build wealth by finding more hours.
You build it by partnering with people who work on your behalf.

↳ That’s how busy professionals invest without falling behind.
