You’re building your UK investment property portfolio. You’ve decided on the best places to invest in UK property. You’re super organised and you have the skills and knowledge for smarter property investing. But if only there was one platform where you could both manage your existing portfolio AND track potential deals in your pipeline.
That’s how occasionally remote investor Jake Barlow from Stockport felt as he was building his portfolio with his fiancée, Nicola so they took matters into their own hands and built their own platform called Property Store.
Meanwhile, back in 2020, Covid causes a crisis in the Expat Property Guy’s Expat Property Story and puts his plans for buying four more HMOs in jeopardy. Listen now to find out how it all turns out…

Badger and Nash info:
• We started learning how to invest in property after meeting Charlie (Capstone Fox) in Feb 17th 2020
• We bought our first BTL (Blackpool Bungalow) on 31st July 2020
• We then renovated and sold our personal home in Feb 2021 to raise more money
• We moved into Nicola’s house that she was renovating
• Nicola quit her full-time job in Feb 2021 month once the mortgage burden was gone
• Jake quit his job on 17th Oct 2021
• We left to travel full time on 1st November
• We now have 11 Properties (Both personally and company owned)
• All of which are single unit BTL, SA and 1 multi-unit block with 3 flats
Property Store info:
• While growing our portfolio, it was incredibly frustrating having to use spreadsheets to manage the whole portfolio and a mix of other systems
• Jakes background is in App development for big banks
• Nicolas background is in corporate branding
• So Jake called up some contacts (namely Sanj) who is a senior developer at a blue-chip bank
• And we built Property Store
• We then signed with the Prosperity Network, meaning that anyone that joins gets access to our software until 3rd November 2022
• We now have over 500 users with access to the software
• We launch a limited release to our first public users outside prosperity on the 7th June this year, with MAJOR new functionality that hasn’t been seen before in the industry
Here are some great episodes to start with.
