from Move iQ Podcast · host Move iQ

What happens when you buy a property expecting to sell a few years down the line… and it just doesn’t?😫 In this episode, Phil Spencer sits down with Alex, Move iQ’s Head of Partnerships, to talk candidly about going from a homeowner to a landlord. This wasn’t his plan but when selling wasn’t an option, renting out the property instead made the most sense. Alex shares what it’s like to become a landlord almost overnight, the lessons learned during the process and the advice he has for others in a similar situation.
