Summary

Refurbing properties is such a popular strategy amongst investors, but it can also be a very stressful path to take. We get so many questions about how to tackle the subject we decided to call in an expert. In this episode we talk to Ian - who’s been in the business for 30 years and runs his own construction company. Ian’s going to take us through how to find a good builder and set your project up for success. NEWS THIS WEEK Not only did the interest rate rise dominate the headlines this week, it also cast shadow on our predictions from the beginning of the year. How will the rest of year play out? We also discovered a story with the terrifying headline: Landlords face up to 17 week wait to evict problem tenants. What does this mean for you? Are you at risk? Is it time to consider insurance? HUB EXTRA Leading up to this Friday’s Hub Extra newsletter, we take some inspiration from one of the world’s fastest men.
