Mark and Martin Pow return to The Blueprint Podcast Deals, Deals, Deals series after first joining us in November 2025.
Based in the South West, Martin started his career as a carpenter while Mark came from a background in car sales. Together they've built a successful property business by combining practical construction expertise with commercial deal-making skills.
Now in their second year of the Property Entrepreneur programme, they also share how becoming part of Adam's and Josh's Mastermind groups has accelerated their growth through accountability, collaboration, networking and learning from other experienced property entrepreneurs.
In this episode, they take us behind one of their latest projects, The Solways, sharing the real numbers behind a development that released Β£113,425 of cash, created Β£572,880 of equity, and now generates over Β£41,000 a year in cashflow, all while refinancing at a conservative 66% loan-to-value.
If you've ever wondered how experienced investors recycle their capital while keeping ownership of the asset, this episode is packed with practical lessons and genuine deal analysis.
