Summary

In the course of getting to know hundreds of investors, we've come across a whole cast of characters who probably shouldn't be investing in property at all – including Stressful Susan, Dithering Derek and Gung-Ho Grace. Will you recognise yourself in any of them? Do you have the right temperament to be a successful investor, or are there traits you need to get under control? Listen to this week's episode and find out! Related episodes we mention: - When Property Goes Wrong - How Rob B lost £40,000 on one deal Resource of the week If you ever need to put together a flyer for a property, or just brighten or resize some photos, you might want to try Picmonkey or Canva. Both are free and extremely easy online image editing tools – perfect for quick, everyday tweaks that don't require anything as powerful as Photoshop. News this week Chinese buyers' interest in the UK has spiked by 40% post-Brexit, as reported in The Telegraph. In a way not surprising as the pound is on sale for the rest of the world, but still a remarkable indicator when there's still so much uncertainty about how things will pan out. Join the conversation What other "characters" would you add to our collection? Do you have any traits that you need to work on to make yourself a better investor? We’d love to know, so join the discussion in The Property Hub!

Yeah, welcome to the property podcast, episode 177, to be known in future as the episode in which we alienated half the people who are listening.

1:15.7

I am very much. I've not been to Leicester for a very long time. I don't know a great deal about it, and so where better to find out about it than from locals at a meetup should be really good
