The HMO Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, we’re going to talk about your HMO Power Team. I’ll explain why it’s so important to have a strong team for successful HMO property investing and list 20 key people you should have on your team.

Think of building a successful property business like putting together a great symphony. You shouldn’t play every instrument yourself; instead, you should be the conductor. It’s crucial to have the right people—skilled and experienced professionals—helping you reach your goals. We’ll cover all this and more in today’s episode.

In this episode, we’ll talk about why it’s so important to start with the end in mind when building a property business.

Here’s what I do with every mentee: we sit down together to plan out their business and then work backward from that plan. I’m interested in what they want their business to look and feel like in the future, not just in terms of money but also in the freedom and flexibility it provides.

Too often, people begin building their property business without a clear vision. As a result, they might reach some financial goals but end up with a business that doesn’t give them the lifestyle they wanted.

I’ll explain why it’s crucial to design your business around your future goals. We’ll cover important factors like location, tenant types, cash flow and equity management, risk tolerance, legacy plans, and realistic timeframes—all while making sure you enjoy the process and keep a good work-life balance.
