Ep 118 | I Thought Property Sourcing Would Make Me Rich (I Ended Up Owning Blue Bricks) - Sam Cooke Interview

About this episode

Sam Cooke is the owner of Blue Bricks Magazine, one of the UK's established property publications for investors and developers. He took over the business in 2022 after previously working as its marketing manager, bringing together a background in marketing, property, private equity and entrepreneurship. Blue Bricks now reaches around 10,000 readers across the UK, but Sam's approach has never been about pretending property is easy. He's particularly interested in the stories behind the polished success stories: what went wrong, where deals lost money, and what investors could have done differently. In this episode, Sam talks openly about his journey from estate agency and property sourcing to taking ownership of Blue Bricks, and why his view of the property industry changed once he started speaking to investors and developers behind the scenes. Sam shares the reality of building a property business, the mistake he made when he first started sourcing, why property is a much slower game than many people online suggest, and the danger of constantly jumping from one "shiny penny" strategy to another. 🔥GET MORE VALUABLE PROPERTY CONTENT!🔥 Subscribe to our channel to never miss a c
