I’m Iain Stewart, founder of Property Hotspots Global. I’ve worked in international property for nearly 30 years, specialising in alternative ways of buying and selling property.

I created this guide to explain the strategies I’ve used and encountered over the years, including Rent to Buy, instalment purchases and other forms of creative property finance.

The guide is designed to give buyers and investors practical ideas, real-world examples and scripts they can use when approaching property owners.
