In this episode of Beyond Four Walls, I’m joined by Melissa Potente — property investor, educator, and Managing Director of Inndecs Ltd, as well as the founder and director of MJP Homes and Meliora Renovations

Melissa’s journey is one of determination, self-belief, and breaking down barriers in a traditionally male-dominated industry. After building a multi-million-pound property portfolio in just seven years, she’s now on a mission to help others — especially women — gain the knowledge, confidence, and tools to invest in property successfully.

We talk about the realities of starting from scratch, how to spot a good investment, and what inspired her to create her property investment courses designed to make financial independence more accessible. Melissa shares how she built her businesses, what she teaches her students, and why she believes property investing isn’t just about bricks and mortar — it’s about empowerment, education, and long-term freedom.

If you’ve ever thought “I’d love to invest, but I wouldn’t know where to start,” this conversation is for you.
