About the Author
Alex has spent years working directly with property investors and first-time buyers, helping them make decisions they actually feel confident about. He knows property jargon can make perfectly reasonable people feel out of their depth, so he writes the way he wishes someone had explained things to him early on. His focus is first-time buyer guidance and investment strategy, two topics where bad information can cost people real money. Outside of property, he photographs landscapes on weekends, which has given him an eye for what makes a space worth something.
