"EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG"
The phone rang halfway up Malham Cove.
It was the lender.
Ian Morton has spent 48 years in heritage property and listed buildings. He's turned schools, churches and Georgian merchant houses into homes.
He thought he'd seen everything.
Then came the country estate in the Yorkshire Dales.
We ask him what really happened next.
What he does now before trusting a joint venture partner (he probably shouldn't have told us).
The pension trick most landlords have never heard of.
And why 120,000 homes might be hiding in plain sight on your high street.
Plus: he's built an AI version of himself. We have questions.
And his answer to "what does success mean to you now?" wasn't the one we expected.
