Trying to Do It All Yourself? It Might Be Slowing You Down… Sometimes I speak with investors who know they want to start or grow their portfolio… but they’re stuck. 
Not because they’re unsure about property. They know what they want, the area, and the end goal. But now? They’re spinning plates. And it’s not just analysis paralysis. There’s time. Or lack of it. Work is busy. Family life’s full on. There are bedtime stories, football practice, Sunday dinners, school runs. Scrolling through listings in the evening, half analysing deals between emails. Going back and forth on numbers. Second guessing. Waiting for the “right” one, and when exactly are you supposed to squeeze in a last minute viewing? Even if you manage to get one secured, who’s organising trades? Chasing quotes? Figuring out if that damp patch is just cosmetic or something more serious? Meanwhile, the good stuff? It’s getting snapped up by someone else. But I’ll say it straight, most investors I know who build momentum don’t try to juggle everything. They delegate. They build a team around them, even if it starts small. That might be a sourcing partner, a builder, or just someone who keeps the whole thing ticking while they focus on their day job and family life. They find people they can trust and let go of the bits that are slowing them down. So if you’re serious about investing but keep finding life getting in the way, not because you’re not capable, but because there are only so many hours in the day, maybe it’s time to ask. What would change if you didn’t have to do it all yourself?
