Barry Marshall is from Gold Star Property Group and is the guest on Episode 12 of The Healthy House Podcast, “Realistic Property Investing.”

On the episode, Barry talks about his own route into property: running Domino’s Pizza stores, buying his first property at auction, and moving on to buy-to-let investments and HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation). He and Aaron discuss what it takes to succeed, including managing renovation projects, understanding refurbishment costs, rising mortgage rates, unexpected maintenance and the challenges of being a landlord.

Barry also talks about why effective project management, building relationships with reliable tradespeople and investing in the right education can save investors thousands of pounds, and about the financial risks, costly mistakes and damp issues that rarely make it onto social media.

Further details of Barry’s professional background were not verified at the time of publication and have been left out accordingly.
