How Julianah Owusu Built a £2M Property Portfolio
In this episode, we sit down with Juliana Owusu, the powerhouse behind @propertybyjewels, who went from job-hopping for pay rises to becoming a respected property investor and mentor with a million-pound portfolio.
Juliana shares her journey of strategic sacrifices, working across industries, and learning how to make her income work harder through smart property investment. She also opens up about being the first in her circle to buy a home and how that inspired her to help others see what's possible — especially those who’ve never seen someone like them own property.
Whether you’re working a 9–5 and planning your exit, or you're curious about how to start building long-term wealth through property, this conversation is full of practical gems and inspiration.
