Episode notes
Choose Investment Range Based On Involvement
- Decide whether you'll invest locally or anywhere and match that choice to your hands-on involvement level.
- Avoid forcing your local area to work if prices or numbers don't stack up, especially in the southeast.
Start With Region-Level Filters
- Screen regions top-down: prioritise areas with big investment, diverse employment and strong infrastructure.
- Pick locations with good transport, airports and motorway or rail links to attract future investment.
Target Cities And Strategy Fit
- Focus on cities or their commutable surrounds since they host employment and infrastructure fundamentals.
- Ensure the local property type matches your strategy (e.g., HMOs usually suit city centres, not outskirts).
