Called Deddy, there were many ways to become a property entrepreneur. "We can use properties that have been owned for rent. For example, at home there are empty rooms, we can rent them as boarding houses. We don’t need to build a house first, then it can be used as a business, "advises Deddy.
The current generation, continued Deddy, was indeed required to think creatively. In the property business, creative thinking was also needed to create a business plan concept, in addition, to having to look for potential land. Therefore, millennials can do business with the availability of small capital through investors.
Deddy also shared tips on marketing the property business.
