Hey everyone, welcome back to the second episode of the year for Girls in Property! In this episode, I’m talking to all the newbies entering the property world and sharing the advice I wish I had when I first started out.

Starting in property can feel overwhelming—trying to figure out who to trust, what advice to follow, and where to best spend your time and money. While I don’t have all the answers, I’ve put together six key lessons I wish I knew from the start, along with practical tips for anyone beginning their property journey today.

This episode is as raw and real as it gets. I kick things off by reading a letter I wrote to myself a year ago, showing how much progress you can make in just 12 months. I also dive into the common mistakes many people make when starting out, and how you can avoid them by taking the right actions.

Tune in for an honest, educational, and down-to-earth conversation. Enjoy!
