Episode Description

A lot of aspiring investors spend months (even years!) stuck in research mode.

They’ll read the books, listen to the podcasts, maybe even save up a decent chunk of capital… but still hold back from making that first move.

And more often than not, the reason isn’t money, or lack of deals, or some missing strategy.

It’s a story they’ve been told (or told themselves) about what’s possible.

That HMOs are too complicated. That the market is saturated. That they need to buy a buy-to-let first. Or have six figures in the bank. Or a decade of experience under their belt.

In this episode, I’m breaking down seven of the biggest myths that hold people back from ever getting started - and sharing why they’re almost always wrong.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, this might be the episode that helps you take that first step.
