Struggling to attract investors, source property deals, or grow your property business through social media? You’re not alone!

Many property developers, investors, and deal sourcers know they need to market themselves online but aren’t sure where to start, or why their current efforts aren’t working.

In this episode, we sit down with Christie Kirwan, founder of Ocho The Agency, to uncover the marketing strategies that actually drive results.

She shares the 3 essential content pillars every property professional should focus on: educational content to build authority, service-based content to showcase what you offer, and value-driven content to keep your audience engaged.

We also cover 5 viral content hooks to grab attention and grow your audience, along with the biggest mistakes property professionals make when it comes to social media marketing.

If you’re struggling to create a strategy, you’ll learn how to map out your content based on short, medium, and long-term goals.

We also discuss the best platforms to use, the most effective scheduling and editing tools, and how to stay consistent without running out of ideas.

Personal branding vs. business branding is another big topic, should you focus on building your own name, or is it better to market under a company brand? Christie shares her insights on what works best depending on your business model.

Whether you're new to property investment, a deal sourcer looking for investor clients, or an experienced developer aiming to scale, this episode will help you attract investors, build credibility, and convert leads into deals through effective social media marketing.

With over three decades of property experience, Paul Million doesn’t hold back. From wild tenant tales, including a “roid-rage” fuelled rampage that left a property in ruins, to how he’s stayed mentally strong through the chaos, this episode dives deep.

We ask the big questions: What’s the biggest mistake Paul’s made? How does he keep his mindset sharp? And what does he wish every beginner knew before diving into property?

This isn’t just another property chat. It’s a raw, honest look at the mental game behind being a landlord, managing risk, and staying sane while building a portfolio.

Paul shares the mindset tools that have helped him navigate challenges, from ADHD and perfectionism to the glass ceilings we create in our minds. Expect practical lessons, a few laughs, and a real peek behind the property curtain.

In this episode, we’re joined by Adam Lawrence, economist, portfolio landlord, and one of the UK’s most prolific property investors with over 700 deals under his belt. With academic roots at Oxford (PPE) and an MBA from Warwick Business School, Adam brings a rare mix of analytical thinking and real-world experience.

We explore the changing face of the UK property market, what institutional investors are doing, why amateur landlords are exiting, and how yields and interest rates are reshaping strategy. Adam dives into the economics of build-to-rent, why asset management is often misunderstood by property investors, and the importance of diversification in a property portfolio.

You’ll also hear Adam’s thoughts on:
- Whether now is the right time to scale or exit
- What institutional investors fear most
- The key building blocks of a successful portfolio
- And the realities of operating at scale across the UK

Whether you're just starting out or scaling your property business, this is a masterclass in long-term thinking and high-level strategy.
