EP 233: The Wealth Creation Show: The Tax Trap

Every new government promises change, but investors don't make money from promises.

They make money by understanding what change actually means.

The headlines talk about new taxes, property reforms, landlord crackdowns, affordable housing and building council houses.

Some people hear those headlines and stop investing but others hear the same headlines and quietly buy more.

Do you want to understand how it’s not the governmentsthat shape your wealth but how you adapt as an investor to the changes.

Luckily, you don’t need to head back to school to understand this as Lettings Director, Richard Cook and one of the UK’s most successful property investors, Jim Parker are on hand to discuss.
