  • 026: Big Deal Mindset: A Former Army Officer's Property Playbook

    Hello and welcome to another episode of the Expat Property Podcast, a channel that brings you weekly episodes designed to offer valuable discussions on property investment strategies, challenges, and solutions tailored to the unique needs of expats investing in the UK property market.

    Today, I'm joined by someone I personally owe a lot to—Richie Miller.

    Richie's journey is one of discipline, mindset, and action. A former Army officer who travelled the world in service, he made the bold move from military life to a career in property. And that switch didn't come easy.

    In this episode, Richie shares the pivotal mindset shift that led him to leave the Army, the sacrifices he made to learn the ropes while holding down a full-time job, and how that decision has paid off, giving him the freedom to work less than 25 hours a week and even home-school his children.

    We get into the simple but powerful steps anyone can take to find great property deals, and how consistency is the real secret to success. Richie used these very steps to land a 48-bed HMO, and he breaks down how that came to be.

    We also dive into working with letting agents, building long-term relationships, and finding the right JV partners.

    Today, Richie runs a niche mentoring business helping experienced landlords, or those ready to buy big, scale with confidence. His philosophy? The workload's the same whether it's a 4-bed or 48-bed HMO, so you may as well go big.

    He's a seriously experienced investor and a top mentor.

    Let's get into it.

  • 025: The Utility Hack For Expats with HMOs & Service Accommodation

    Hello and welcome to another episode of the Expat Property Podcast, a channel that brings you weekly episodes designed to offer valuable discussions on property investment strategies, challenges, and solutions tailored to the unique needs of expats investing in the UK property market.

    In this episode, I'm joined by Adam West, founder of The Landlord Utility Group (TLUG). Adam's journey started as an electrical apprentice before moving into sales in the utilities sector, a background that gave him a unique perspective when he began building his own property portfolio, including flips, buy-to-lets,but more importantly, HMOs, and serviced accommodation.

    Seeing firsthand the chaos that comes with managing utilities across multiple tenancies, Adam spotted a problem that needed solving, and TLUG was born. We dive into how he built and systemised the business to serve HMO and SA landlords, including expats, who need fast, reliable, and professional utility management.

    We also talk about the mindset needed to grow as an entrepreneur, from staying focused and learning to say no, to building a solid team, staying active and healthy, and knowing when to pivot. If you're managing multiple properties or just want to hear how one investor turned a problem into a thriving business, this episode is packed with insight.

  • 023: Know Your Numbers, Not Your Neighbours

    Hello and welcome to another episode of the Expat Property Podcast, a channel that brings you weekly episodes designed to offer valuable discussions on property investment strategies, challenges, and solutions tailored to the unique needs of expats investing in the UK property market.

    In this episode, I'm re-sharing my interview on the Ultimate FD Podcast, with Josh Keegan, and for good reason.

    Over the next few months, I believe there'll be more deals available than ever before. Landlords are leaving the market, housing stock is increasing, and yet the demand for housing continues to grow.

    But in this shifting landscape, knowing your numbers is what separates the good from the great. Whether you're trying to assess if a deal is actually profitable, or ensure your portfolio is still performing overtime, financial clarity is everything.

    Josh and I dive into my personal journey, from financial chaos to clarity, and how that transformation came when I stopped trying to do it all myself and brought in the right experts. We talk about building a proper finance function, the impact of monthly management accounts, and how this one change has improved not just my decision-making, but my long-term strategy.

    Whether you're looking to grow, sell, or simply take back control, this episode is packed with insight to help you level up.

    Hit play and let's get into it.
