The Inside Property Investing Podcast | Inspiration and advice from a decade investing in UK real estate071: Bonus (welcome back) July Property Update with Mike StenhouseIt's only been a couple of episodes that we missed but I know from a lot of you that those gaps were noticed and missed.

But to be honest with you and with myself, I took on too much and I finally reached my limit. T...

It's why we decided to do these updates after all. It's not to try and show off about the houses we're buyin...
