On this week’s Trailblazer podcast I am so excited to be joined by Andy Mcinnes and Paul Baldry,
Both Andy and Paul have led incredible careers in their build up to being full time property entrepreneurs.
Andy – an author, and previously a very successful sports journalist for the daily mail, will tell us how he began building his property empire in back 2002. He will explain the mistakes that he made, and the hurdles that he had to overcome to reach the success that he enjoys today.
Paul – Has been an extremely hard worker from a young age, his work ethic has been engrained into him since his younger days when he would work 80-90 hours per week, doing maintenance work for a local hospital to pay off his accumulated debt of £25,000. Paul takes us on a brief tour of his career and how he managed to buy 54 properties in 12 months at the age of 28. He now owns multiple letting and estate agencies in the North East of England, which manage a portfolio of over 300 properties as well as his own personal portfolio of over 100 properties.
