In this episode, host James Sinclair interviews John Noble, an entrepreneur and accountant who has successfully built a portfolio of 17 properties through his accountancy firm, Noble One Accountants.

John makes approximately £30,000 a month from his business, but he expresses a desire for more time and clarity on future goals. The discussion also delves into the advantages and challenges of residential vs. commercial property investments, with John explaining his strategy of investing in low-cost properties in the North of England, leveraging cash for quicker transactions. He also reflects on the difficulties in hiring staff for his accounting firm and explores ideas for deregulatory measures to streamline operations. Throughout the conversation, James offers insights and guidance tailored to John's situation.
