Paul Smith opens up about how he built a nine-figure property portfolio and the mindset that turned overlooked deals into serious money.


Raised by two teachers in Yorkshire, Paul was doing house refurbs with his dad from age seven. He bought his first property outright for nine grand, did it up, sold it, and repeated the process three more times before he even realised he had a system. He breaks down the discovery that built his fortune: while everyone chased residential property, small commercial buildings - shops, offices, units under £2 million - sat mispriced and ignored. He tells the story of a five-tenant office block bought for £134,000 that brought in £36,000 a year from day one, and a derelict Doncaster office block picked up for £810,000 that later paid out £550,000 tax-free through capital allowances. Now living abroad and heavily invested in gold, he explains the thinking behind his book, The Art of Wealth which is distilled down to how to make money, protect it, and pass it on.


This is the eventful life of Paul Smith.
