In this episode of The Investors Corner, Andy and Mike explore seven key decisions that every property investor must make. From choosing between houses or flats to weighing up mortgage options like interest-only vs. capital repayment, they dive into the major factors shaping smart, long-term property investment strategies. They also discuss the pros and cons of property vs. stocks as an investment, helping you make informed decisions for your financial future.

Key Takeaways:
