Most property investors think they understand leverage because they’ve used a mortgage.

But what if that’s just one of many levers available to you?

In this episode, I break down 5 other types of leverage that will help you scale faster, make more profit, and finally stop being the bottleneck in your own property business.

You’ll hear real examples from my own portfolio, from mastermind clients, and from fellow investors who’ve been able to go further without working more hours.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, stretched, or like you’re doing too much for too little return… this is the one to listen to.

They say property investing is about managing risk, but nothing prepared me for this project.

What should’ve been a straightforward commercial-to-residential conversion turned into an 36-month nightmare - a planning battle that dragged on forever, a builder who cost us £30k before vanishing, and a full team meltdown when everyone (myself included) suddenly disappeared from the business.

But here’s the thing: the deal still stacks up.

In this episode, I’m breaking down everything that went wrong, the brutal lessons learned, and why - despite all the chaos - it still turned out to be a solid investment.

If you’ve ever battled a “cursed” project, this one’s for you.

“They say life throws pebbles before it throws rocks—and if you ignore the early warnings, get ready for an avalanche.”

On the morning of my wedding day, I got a call from a tenant. A boiler issue. And guess what? I was still the main contact because, at that point, I was the business.

A few years later, I thought I’d cracked it - I’d hired someone to manage our properties so I could sail into the sunset (literally). But what I didn’t realise was that hiring someone into a broken business, without systems, accountability, and the right leadership, was just another gamble. And this time, it didn’t pay off.

Within months, our lettings manager collapsed under the pressure, compliance issues stacked up, occupancy rates plummeted, and (if I’m being honest) I nearly lost more than just my business...

In this episode, I’m sharing the hardest lesson I’ve learned as a property investor - one that nearly cost me everything.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or worried your business is built on shaky foundations - this one’s for you.

Today’s episode is a must-listen for any property investor chasing success but feeling overwhelmed and out of control behind the scenes. I’m sitting down with Tom Pryor, a past member of our IPI Mastermind group whose transformation from chaos to clarity is nothing short of inspiring.

Tom built a thriving short-term rental business, and on paper, everything looked perfect. But behind the scenes he describes it as a mix of crippling anxiety, disorganised systems, and a constant battle to keep up with his own growth. He opens up about those struggles and, more importantly, how he was able to turn everything around.

From discovering the power of goal-setting, something he'd never really spent any time on, to building life-changing relationships within the mastermind, Tom shares the key shifts that transformed not only his business, but his life.

If you’re feeling stuck or burnt out as you try to get your property business to the next stage of growth, this conversation is packed with real talk and actionable insights from Tom that you can’t afford to miss!

Joe Davies, is one half of a powerhouse property duo who recently made a life-changing move - exiting their successful serviced accommodation management agency in Liverpool and relocating to sunny Spain.

Now, while enjoying a slower pace of life, he and his wife Katy are still actively growing their UK property portfolio.

I first met Joe and Katy a couple of years ago and was instantly struck by their drive, business acumen, and passion for personal development - qualities that have helped them achieve remarkable success before even turning 30.

While Katy isn't joining us in this episode (something we’ll hopefully fix in the future!), Joe shares his incredible journey from launching a small side hustle to building a thriving business and ultimately selling it for a lucrative exit.

Now, a quick heads-up: This conversation was originally recorded with the intention of launching a new podcast centered around Joe’s expertise in serviced accommodation. While that specific plan has been parked for now, he’s still working closely with me on other aspects of the IPI business, so expect to hear more from him in the future.

There are a few moments where we reference our podcast plans, but regardless, Joe’s insights into scaling a business, navigating challenges, and making bold decisions will be invaluable, whether you're building your own portfolio, running a property business, or juggling both.

In this episode I head up to Gateshead to visit Ben Allan as he completes his first HMO conversion, following the advice and support from our Inside HMO Investing programme.

Starting with a hands-on approach, Ben shares how his background as a joiner helped him tackle nearly every aspect of the renovation himself—saving money, building confidence, and creating a high-yielding property.

We discuss the challenges he faced, from navigating stressful bridging loans to uncovering hidden surprises in the property, and how he maintained focus on his goal of achieving financial freedom for his growing family.

With a 40% ROI and tenants moving in just weeks after completion, Ben’s journey is packed with lessons on managing timelines, choosing the right projects, and deciding when sweat equity is worth it.
