800 Units Under Management | The Steelworker’s Scaling Strategy

Scottish Property Podcast on June 22, 2026

Episode Overview

He had $300 to his name, sleeping on a mate’s floor in Perth, Australia. Then a stranger in an empty pub changed everything — and 23 years later he owns 46 properties and manages 800 more. 🏠

In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, Nick and Steven sit down with David Lamb — founder of Orange Sales and Lettings in the North East of England. David’s journey takes in steelworks apprenticeships, delivering tea bags with a wicker basket, a commercial conversion that doubled in cost during Covid, backpacking through Southeast Asia on passive income, and a chance meeting with a stranger in a pub that got him his first offshore job.

Scottish Property Podcast on June 15, 2026

Episode Overview

A complicated miscarriage. A goodbye in a hospital room. Two years of everything going wrong. Then they bought their first property — Claire eight months pregnant, the world in lockdown. 🏠

In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, Nick and Steven sit down with Claire and Dan MacDonald of Cladan Property — a husband and wife team who started investing in 2020 with no strategy and a sold car, and have quietly built a portfolio of 24 properties in five years.

The Homeless Landlord With 12 Properties. Isaac Cross tells all.

Scottish Property Podcast on June 8, 2026

Episode Overview

He owns 12 properties. He lives in his mate’s spare room. And he accidentally bought a Chinese restaurant from an airport while flying back from Japan.

In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, Nick and Steven sit down with Isaac Cross — a former offshore worker and CERN technician who saved £140k, came off the Scottish Property Podcast course in January, and went all in on property faster than almost anyone they’ve had on the show.

This one is raw, honest, and genuinely funny. Isaac doesn’t just talk about the wins. He talks about the bridging nightmare on five properties at once, the deals he overpaid for, the sourcing fees that didn’t add up, the solicitor with 98 problems to solve — and what he’d do differently if he were starting again.

Scotland’s £10k First Home Fund Is Back — Will It Be Gone in Days?

Scottish Property Podcast on June 1, 2026

Episode Overview

The last time Scotland launched this fund it had £60 million and it was gone in eight days. This time they’ve got £100 million. Nick and Steven give it two weeks.

In this month’s market update, they break down exactly how the £10k First Home Fund works, what the catches are, and why investors should be paying attention too — because when first-time buyers pile into the 80–100k market, it gets competitive fast.

That’s just one of the stories this month. Gilt rates just hit their highest level since 2008. Scottish rents have dropped annually for the first time in eight years. And a new law coming in April 2027 means one tenant in a joint tenancy can end the lease for everybody — a potential nightmare for HMO landlords.

Ross doesn’t just talk about wins. He talks about the Samuel Leeds course that cost him £12k, the social housing Hmos that turned the community against him, the £44-unit rent-to-rent scheme that turned out to be a nationwide scam, and the Grade 2 listed cottage that cost him £90k in losses.
