In this episode Danielle speaks with Lisa Tope, a chartered physiotherapist whose first property deal quickly became what she now calls the flip that flopped. Lisa shares how a desire for financial security and a turning point in her personal and professional life led her into property investing, only to be met with delays, damp issues, builder breakdowns and spiralling costs.

She talks honestly about the decisions she would handle differently, the importance of self reflection and professional support, and how resilience carried her through a deal that shifted from a planned flip to a long term hold. Lisa also reflects on how this experience shaped her confidence, strengthened her mindset and ultimately guided her towards specialised supported housing, where her passion for people and property now come together with purpose.
