Property investment isn’t a passive income fantasy or a get-rich-quick scheme -  it’s a strategic business move that can create real, long-term wealth.

 

This episode cuts through the hype and dives into how property can be used as a powerful tool to leverage time, money, and skills, especially when aligned with your personal goals.

 

Far beyond the old "how many properties do you own" mindset, this conversation explores the why and how of building a sustainable, profitable property portfolio.

 

From the surprising modern history of buy-to-let in the UK to understanding the three phases of a property business, this episode offers both foundational insights and hard-earned truths from years in the field.

 

Discover why a clear plan beats speed and scale, how emotional buying ruins your ROI, and why property only works when you work it like a business.

 

Whether you already own property or are still property-curious, the episode challenges assumptions and lays out what it really takes to make property work for you - not the other way around.

 

🎧 What You’ll Learn:

 

·       - Why property is still one of the most powerful wealth-building tools in 2025 and beyond

 

·      -  How leverage, inflation protection, and consistent demand make property unique among investments

 

·       - What actually makes a strategy vs. just picking a property type (hint: it's not about HMOs or Airbnb)

 

·       - The biggest mistakes property investors make and how to avoid them

 

·       - What it means to define your buying criteria - and why your spreadsheet should always come before photos

 

·       - How to future-proof your investment with a clear exit plan (without necessarily selling)

 

·       - The mindset shift that turns property from a stressful side hustle into a stable, scalable business
