Turning £20k into 12,000 Sq Ft Developments (Joe Robertson's Story)
Joe bought his first property at 21 - a brand-new, city-centre apartment for £110,000. It's not the type of project most of us would get excited about, but he obviously saw something in it, as a few years later he sold it and had turned his £20,000 deposit into a £90k profit.That was in 2011, and after years of honing his craft he’s just bought a 12,000 square foot commercial building at auction, with no prior experience in commercial, and no clear plan for what he’d do with it. Just another hunch that it was a good deal, and the confidence to back himself.In this episode, we dive into the lessons Joe’s learned from taking these leaps, and how he rebuilding his portfolio to be more profitable, more manageable, and more aligned with the life he actually wants to create.If you’re an investor thinking of scaling up (or changing direction) Joe’s story will definitely give you some ideas.

Adam's 22 Month Sprint to 4 HMOs
Adam was almost a decade into his surgical training, a few years away from becoming a consultant, and working towards his PHD, when one day he looked up and realised this wasn't what he wanted to do for the next 40 years of his life. He walked away from it all, into a job that he not only found more fulfilling, but that also gave him some free time back to pursue other interests. Fast forward two years (or 22 months to be precise) since he joined our Inside HMO Investing programme, and he's working on his 4th HMO... on track to acquire 10 within 5 years, and to generate a £20,000 monthly income as a result. In this episode we dig into how he built momentum so fast, and why focus and execution matter more than unicorn deals. ********************Welcome to the Inside Property Investing Podcast with Mike Stenhouse.
