There’s no denying that buy-to-let isn’t the same as 10 or 15 years ago.

We all know someone who never insures anything and never has any problems. But given that £8m is paid out every day in home insurance claims, not everyone has the same luck.
There’s a book by Simon Sinek called Find Your Why, and it’s all about identifying your reason for having a business: why do you do what you do?
