013: How a cold night in Portsmouth led to an expat lifestyle and the start of a property investing journey.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Expat Property Podcast, a channel that brings you weekly episodes designed to offer valuable discussions on property investment strategies, challenges, and solutions tailored to the unique needs of expats investing in the UK property market. Today's episode is a real treat. I'm joined by relatively new expat investor — and corporate colleague — Jason Dowling. He shares the moment everything changed for him: a cold, dark evening that sparked his move abroad and, eventually, into the world of property. We talk about the limiting belief that held him back for years, and how being around likeminded people showed him what was truly possible. Jason opens up about the discipline it takes to balance a demanding corporate role with building a property business — and how outsourcing and focusing on high-value tasks have helped him deliver at work while making serious progress in property. We also tackle procrastination, and the importance of having the support of those closest to you when starting your investing journey. Jason's come a long way in a short time — proof that expats can succeed in property, with the right mindset, the right people, and a clear plan. This podcast is part of the wider ecosystem of support we've built within Expat Property People.
