This podcast is a part of Rob´s women in business series. Today, he speaks to Flora Russo who is a property sourcer and buy-to-let landlord. Flora took the daunting decision to move from Italy to the UK in 2013. Initially, she continued to work in IT. But soon decided to switch to property. Flora explains why she gave up a well-paid job to do so and shares tips to help others who want to do something similar. Including how she overcame big hurdles like the language barrier. Flora also provides an insight into the sourcing and buy-to-let businesses as well as how she thinks the market will develop in 2021.
