Propenomix with Adam Lawrence
****PLEASE SHARE AND HELP TO SPREAD THE WORD OF PROPENOMIX**** This week in the ONLY agenda-free UK Property and Macroeconomic roundup: The deep dive looks at a couple of reports that have been on my hit list for some time.

- What returns should you be targeting right now, over what timeframe
- The pros and cons of a ‘passive’ property portfolio, and how investors can diversify their income without taking on a second job
- Common mistakes investors make - and how to avoid them
