Research is an investor's best friend

Investing is risky business, but is there a way can you avoid making costly mistakes? 

Every successful investor knows that doing your due diligence should be non-negotiable. 

But there are some investors that think they can get away with doing little to no research, and they may get lucky a couple of times, but that luck will run out. 

The reality is if you don’t do your due diligence you’re setting yourself up for failure. 

So today on The Property Podcast we’re joined by a due diligence expert – Mary Osmond who will have your research game levelled up in no time. 

Now you might remember Mary from a previous episode where we discussed all things HMO, but if not, you can find that episode here.

Now we won’t be popular for bringing this news story to your attention... 

But base rate has now hit 1% as the Bank of England warns of UK recession this year as it lifts interest rates. 

A recession could have huge implications for investors so make sure you tune in to hear what the guys have got to say about it.
