Daisy Maskell delves into the remarkable stories of young Black people who are redefining property ownership, building impressive portfolios despite a housing crisis that has left many struggling to afford rent, let alone imagine buying a home. Through candid conversations, she reveals how these individuals are navigating financial and social barriers, using a combination of entrepreneurship, strategic networking, and the power of social media to enter a field historically challenging for young people—especially those from marginalized communities.

Through the lens of these trailblazers, Maskell also raises important questions about social mobility, generational wealth-building, and the potential for property investment to create long-term security in the face of economic instability.
