  • Unlock how my mindset change helped me grow a UK property portfolio from Saudi Arabia
    Jun 23 2025

    In this week's episode Jonathan is on the other side of the microphone when he appeared on Steve Cowgill's Expat Property Podcast.

    Jonathan shares how a mindset shift helped him to kickstart his own UK property portfolio while working full-time in Saudi Arabia.

    He explains how he first became an expat, how it took him nearly 10 years to finally take the plunge and invest in UK property and shares the twists and turns which that entailed.

    He also discusses the challenges he faced, including a deal that almost collapsed after the Liz Truss mini-budget, and how he's now helping other expats achieve their investing goals.
