I.T. Vs Property; Who is Allan Harding?

This episode is going to be a little different, it's a solo one where Allan Harding tells you about himself, where he's come from, and importantly why he's started a podcast. Allan opens up about mental health in his youth, his passions in life, and how he turned his passions into a career.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Allan's early working life was in IT when you still had bulky PCs with printers plugged into them. This taught him about problem solving and how his troubleshooting ideas were formulated. 
• If option one doesn't work, then before you move onto option two, find out why option one doesn't work. If you don't know why it failed then you'll be at risk of making the same mistake again. 
• Some places further north of the M4 you find the capital appreciation rates aren't as high, but the rental income you can get is comparable. 
• Ideally you want to buy the property, hold it for the long term, but rent it out while you're doing that. 
• In 2003/2004, Allan decided that any income he made from rentals would go back into investing in rental properties. This means that you get closer to your targets quicker and the more rentals you have, the more income you'll make to invest back in.
