Reading Property Meet: Scale, Fund & Protect Your Property Portfolio
About this Event
Growing a property portfolio is one thing.
Growing it without allowing risk to grow with it is another.
At September’s Reading Property Meet, property investor and developer Manni Chopra will be sharing the lessons she has learnt from completing 30+ property projects, including what it takes to scale, raise finance and build a property business that can withstand a changing market.
This isn't a general market update.
It's a practical look at the decisions that become more important as your deals, portfolio and ambitions get bigger.

What you'll learn
Manni will cover:
- How to scale without allowing risk to scale with you
- What needs to be in place before taking on larger deals and developments
- How experienced property investors approach raising finance
- The difference between completing individual deals and building a sustainable property business
- Where investors can expose themselves unnecessarily as they grow
- Lessons Manni has taken from 30+ completed property projects
- The decisions that have helped her continue operating through different property markets
Whether you're already growing a portfolio, considering larger projects or simply want to make better-informed decisions about your next move, this session will give you practical insight from someone who has done it.
Meet Manni Chopra
Manni Chopra is an experienced property investor and developer with a track record spanning refurbishments, development, commercial conversions and planning-led projects.
Over the years, she has built extensive first-hand experience of what happens when property businesses begin to grow — from funding larger opportunities to managing risk and making decisions that protect the long-term value of a portfolio.
At Reading Property Meet, she'll be sharing the lessons behind that journey: what worked, what she would approach differently and what investors should be thinking about if they want to keep growing in today's property market.
More than a property talk
Reading Property Meet isn't just about sitting through a presentation.
Every month, we bring together landlords, investors, developers and property professionals from Reading and the surrounding area who are actively buying, selling, developing and working in property.
The conversations before and after the presentation are a big part of the evening.
Come with questions.
Come with a deal you're working through.
Come to meet people who understand the opportunities and challenges you're dealing with.
