Helen Gordon, CEO of Grainger PLC, the UK’s largest listed residential landlord joined Anna Clare Harper for this episode of The Return.
What people think you should do:
- Take a huge mortgage.
- Own a home ASAP.
- Consider your home to be your main ‘investment’.
- Spend the bulk of your money on your home.
Or, you could:
- Enjoy living in a much nicer place than you could afford to buy.
- Waste less time on property maintenance.
- Enjoy the flexibility, and move when you want to (not after 3 x sale fall throughs).
- Make informed investment decisions suited to your age and stage of life.
Spending all your money on a home doesn’t necessarily give you financial freedom.
Being strategic about your property (and other) investments will.
Anna spoke to Helen Gordon, CEO of Grainger PLC, the UK’s largest listed residential landlord about:
→ The benefits of renting over buying for many of their customers.
→ Misalignment of incentives in rental property.
→ How to enjoy a career in real estate and investment.
