In this episode Stuart interviews Nathan (or the Proptimist as he is known on Instagram), who is new to investment but has masses of experience in property from his day job. He is currently part way through doing his first HMO conversion, which looks like something a seasoned professional would be proud of (have a look on his Instagram it looks great!). Not only has Nathan gotten off to a flying start but he is also investing in one of the hottest parts of the country for growth, so he is definitely one to watch for big things in the future.
