In this episode, I’m joined by James Ashford of Carter Ashford, a former mentee of mine, to talk about all things project management. James has years of experience managing large residential projects, and now he’s applying those skills to the world of HMOs.

Managing HMO projects can be one of the toughest parts of building a HMO business. It’s not just about finding a great deal or managing tenants—it's about keeping your projects on budget, meeting deadlines, and making sure everything runs smoothly. James shares his insights on how to manage contractors, reduce costs, and stay on track throughout your projects.
