I sat down with Issie to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:

How she got into Real Estate Impostor Syndrome What is an “Investment Specialist” Creating Real Estate Investment Products Where the investment opportunities currently lie Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Issie would invest should she have £500m of equity at her disposal.
