Here’s a sneak peek at what discussed this time:
Today I’m delighted to be joined by fellow property nomad peter armistead. A property investor running his business in Manchester whilst living in the skiers heaven of Whistler, British Columbia.
In his extensive career he’s developed over 500 apartments in South Manchester, won countless awards for his projects, built his dream home in the Canadian mountains and trains regularly for ultramarathons.
I love discovering other investors who’re making property work for them, rather than the other way around, and Peter is a great example of this.
If you’ve got any desire to use property as a vehicle for more freedom in your life then you’re going to love this episode.
