🎙 From Coal Mines to Property Empire: The Reality of Scaling HMOs in 2025 | Jack Townsend Interview

In this episode of the OMZ Property Podcast, we sit down with Jack Townsend from The Estate Trader to explore his inspiring journey from working as an underground coal miner to building a multimillion-pound property portfolio. Jack shares how he bought his first property at 19, scaled up through hands-on refurbishments, and mastered HMOs and new build developments in the Midlands.

We dive deep into the realities of yield-based valuations, the north-south property divide, the future of HMOs, systemizing construction, and why Jack may soon be exiting the HMO space entirely. Whether you're new to property or a seasoned investor, this episode is packed with practical insights and real talk from a man who’s done it all.
