Joe bought his first property at 21 - a brand-new, city-centre apartment for £110,000. It"s not the type of project most of us would get excited about, but he obviously saw something in it, as a few years later he sold it and had turned his £20,000 deposit into a £90k profit. That was in 2011, and after years of honing his craft he’s just bought a 12,000 square foot commercial building at auction, with no prior experience in commercial, and no clear plan for what he’d do with it. Just another hunch that it was a good deal, and the confidence to back himself. In this episode, we dive into the lessons Joe’s learned from taking these leaps, and how he rebuilding his portfolio to be more profitable, more manageable, and more aligned with the life he actually wants to create. If you’re an investor thinking of scaling up (or changing direction) Joe’s story will definitely give you some ideas.  And it"s worth mentioning that Joe"s also a member of the IPI Mastermind - our private support and accountability group for ambitious investors building serious property businesses.
