From Poland to Property Developer: Building a UK Portfolio from Zero with Dawid Dowbusz
🎙️ Episode 4 of Inside Property is here.
This time we sit down with Dawid Dowbusz, property investor, entrepreneur and founder of the Dowbusz Group, for one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we've had on the podcast.
Dawid arrived in the UK from Poland with just £300 in his pocket, no job lined up, and nowhere decent to sleep. What followed is a masterclass in resilience — from warehouse worker to building a multi-company property group spanning HMOs, development, lettings, sourcing and education.
Recorded in Sheffield, this episode covers everything from the realities of HMO investing and commercial conversions to the personal setbacks — financial and otherwise — that nearly derailed it all.
✔️ Arriving in the UK with £300 and a bedbug-ridden HMO room✔️ Walking miles to knock on warehouse doors and land a contract job✔️ How Rich Dad Poor Dad unlocked the mindset shift that changed everything✔️ Building an HMO portfolio generating £15–25K net profit per property✔️ Leaving his job — and why he told his manager 8 months in advance✔️ Growing a multi-company group from a single buy-to-let✔️ The £450K fraud that nearly brought everything down✔️ Commercial-to-residential conversions and the traps no one talks about✔️ Raising £900K from the community to fund a new-build development✔️ Building detached houses during the pandemic — and the creative solutions it took✔️ Current projects: a 20-unit block of flats in Scarcroft and development in Sheffield✔️ Why Dawid believes UK property leverage is one of the greatest tools in the world
This episode is perfect for:
🏠 Property investors at any stage of their journey🏗️ Developers interested in HMOs, new builds and commercial conversions💼 Entrepreneurs looking for a genuine rags-to-portfolio story📈 Anyone wanting an honest look at the risks and realities of property🌍 Immigrants and newcomers building a future in the UK
