WISDOM: What are purchase lease options and why is now the time to use them according to Gillie Barlow #152

EP152: "I've been doing purchase lease options since before they were being taught. I would never have said now is a good time to do it because it's always been a good time. But now I'm telling the world that there are so many options out there. And the amazing thing about it is that we get to help people. There are people out there who we need to help. They are literally so stressed, so scared, getting sick because they cannot cope with what they've got. We can go in there and take all that pressure off them. Take their pain. Let them earn income each month without the fear of having to pay a mortgage each month."

I met with Gillie Barlow, experienced property investor who has never put down more than a few thousand pounds for any of her property deals. She explains how PLOs are the way to not only build your own portfolio but genuinely help people get out of difficult situations.
