In this episode of Allsorts Property with Joe Burns, I sit down with Mark Burrows — property entrepreneur and founder of the Ming Midlands Investor Networking Group.

Mark shares his journey from running a successful insulation business, through the challenges when it began to decline, and how that ultimately led him into the world of property. We dive into the lessons learned from business highs and lows, and how those experiences shaped his approach to investing and building a powerful network.

We also talk about the growth of Ming, why networking is so important in property, and how building the right connections can accelerate your progress.

A great episode for anyone looking to get into property, grow their network, or learn from real-world business experience.
