023: Know Your Numbers, Not Your Neighbours

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.   In this episode, I'm re-sharing my interview on the Ultimate FD Podcast, with Josh Keegan, and for good reason.   Over the next few months, I believe there'll be more deals available than ever before. Landlords are leaving the market, housing stock is increasing, and yet the demand for housing continues to grow.   But in this shifting landscape, knowing your numbers is what separates the good from the great. Whether you're trying to assess if a deal is actually profitable, or ensure your portfolio is still performing overtime, financial clarity is everything.   Josh and I dive into my personal journey, from financial chaos to clarity, and how that transformation came when I stopped trying to do it all myself and brought in the right experts. We talk about building a proper finance function, the impact of monthly management accounts, and how this one change has improved not just my decision-making, but my long-term strategy.   Whether you're looking to grow, sell, or simply take back control, this episode is packed with insight to help you level up.   Hit play and let's get into it.   This podcast is part of the wider ecosystem of support we've built within Expat Property People. Whether you're new to property investing or looking to expand your portfolio, this dynamic platform brings together expat investors, property service providers, and industry experts to create opportunities, share insights, and foster long-term success.
