I sat down with Phil to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:

* How he got into real estate

* Early career moves

* Debunking private equity jargon (IRR, equity multiples, return hurdles etc)

* Importance of corporate culture

* Managing home life + work life

* Key skills to succeed in real estate investment management

* Building a high performing team

* Working with JV partners

Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place would Phil invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
