Where to Invest? Property Podcast: Recent Episodes
Wherewith
Since taking his first steps into property in 2017, Pete Hogg observed one question that kept coming up again and again among would-be property investors that was holding them back from getting started: That question was 'Where to invest?' It's the biggest decision every property investor must make. The best place to invest in property means different things to different people, whether they are chasing high yields, capital growth, or a combination of the two. For would-be property investors, this makes choosing where to invest in property difficult and confusing – leading to mistakes and missed opportunities! In the Where to Invest? Property Podcast, Pete speaks with successful property investors in locations across the UK and internationally to find out where they invest and why, and share the strategies they have used to build their portfolios. The content of this podcast reflects the personal views and experience of the host and guests and is not investment advice.
Dan Cooper is a property investor, sourcing agent and property manager based in Hull, and the host of A Hull Load of - Property Mindset podcast.
On this episode of Where to Invest? Dan and Pete discuss:
- How Hull has benefitted as City of Culture and the injection of investment that followed
- The fascinating history of the the East Yorkshire maritime city
- The comparatively low purchase prices and high yields in the city
- Using property sourcing as a route into investing
- Pivoting with changes in the market and strategies that work in Hull
