In this episode, Phil Spencer sits down with Alex, Move iQ’s Head of Partnerships, to talk candidly about going from a homeowner to a landlord. This wasn’t his plan but when selling wasn’t an option, renting out the property instead made the most sense.
Alex shares what it’s like to become a landlord almost overnight, the lessons learned during the process and the advice he has for others in a similar situation. Together, Phil and Alex break down the real-world risks, responsibilities, and decisions that come with renting out an unsold property; from finances and legal obligations to managing tenants and stress levels 🏡 📑
