UK Property Remote Investing Tips

#210

Most people invest in UK property because of its Long-term potential for capital growth

If you’re an expat, foreign national or any other kind of remote investor, then you probably tend to prefer strategies that require less hands-on management.

Unless you have friends or family in your chosen investment patch, then you’re going to need to work with people on the ground.

Despite what people will tell you, this is not passive investment. 

Even if you find a turnkey UK property partner, you need to understand as much about the sourcing and refurb process to make sure you are getting a good deal

This episode is here to help you do just that.
