Did I mention that I got into the London Marathon this year? Yes, October 3rd is the date and I'll be running my little socks off to get through those 26.2 miles. I've realised that my training is not dissimilar from running an HMO business, and in this episode, I'd like to share the parallels.
Whether or not you're a runner doesn't matter. What matters is the lessons you can learn from this (rather slow plodding) runner and help you in your growth as a property entrepreneur!

HMO Success Podcast Episode 51: HMOs, the economic outlook and whether you should be investing right now
The current housing market situation across the UK is unlike any we have experienced before. There are some signs in the market that over my 25 years of investing I have not seen collide before: Prices going up rapidly Interest rates set to stay low forever.
Against a backdrop of a depression the Government debt is bigger than ever. Brexit impacts are being felt and Covid is placing huge restrictions on travel and jobs. The economy is at 93% of where it was before Covid. What does this mean for you as an investor? Should you buy or should you wait?
