Today on Property Secrets I'm joined by Chris Gray, property investment strategist and founder of 'Your Empire' to discuss the hot topic of Rentvesting. 

Chris began his journey with £10,000 when he purchased his first property in the UK at the age of 22.

Fast forward to today and Chris is both an educated and an experienced investor working primarily as a buyers agent for his company Your Empire.
