The Inside Property Investing Podcast | Inspiration and advice from a decade investing in UK real estate

Today’s interview is from a discussion I had recently with Jack Smith for his podcast, from the ground up. I’ve been sharing a few of these podcasts recently where it’s someone else asking me the questions, and I wasn’t sure to begin with whether you’d find them valuable, but the feedback has been super positive as the spotlight is turned on me and my business, and how we built things to the stage they’re at now, which we don’t often share here when it’s me asking the questions.

In this episode, Jack and I discuss the foundations of our portfolio, and how we focussed on HMOs to give Victoria and I the freedom to step away from our days jobs initially, and then more recently to step away from life in the UK to spend 4 years travelling.

Why Failing To Hit His Goal Was the Best Thing for His Business, with Stuart Lordan

6 years ago, Stuart Lordan joined me on the podcast with plans to reach 100 HMO rooms within 12 months. Today he’s back to say that he failed to reach that goal, with about 80 rooms in the portfolio at the time of recording, but instead of pushing for growth at all costs to achieve those 100 rooms, he’s instead managed to build a stable business with solid financials, retain freedom and flexibility in his own life, and diversify into other areas as well.

He’s learnt a lot along the way, but possibly no more important lesson than realising things don’t always go to plan, and that’s okay. You can be a success despite your failures, in fact maybe only because of them.

Does rent to rent still have a place in the current property market? with Katrina Jones

Katrina Jones has been on the podcast several times in the past and she's joining me again today. This episode is from our IPI HMO summit that we hosted a couple of weeks ago, and Katrina joined us to talk through the Rent to rent strategy, specifically with regards to how it relates to today's market.
There's a lot of uncertainty, and people are wondering, is it the right time to invest?
Does rent to rent still work?
And Katrina goes through all of this in detail.
So, ahead of a free session that she's running in just over a week about the rent to rent strategy in more detail, I thought it'd be nice to share this with you just to see if it gets you excited... to see if it's the type of strategy that you want to learn more about.
And if you do, you can find out what she's got going on at insidepropertyinvesting.com/Katrina
