Investor Interview: West Midland based property investor and developer Phil Stewardson of Stewardson Developments Ltd is interviewed by the editor Richard Bowser.

Its a fact that many successful property investors and residential landlords have built up their property portfolios over the years by concentrating their time, money and resources into just one particular location, all too often an area within easy reach of their own home.

Back in 1994, Phil Stewardson, working in partnership with his brother Mark bought his very first investment property, which was a modest two-bed terrace unit in Cradley Heath, just a stones throw from the huge Merry Hill shopping centre on the outskirts of Birmingham.
