If you haven’t listened to the two previous episodes where I tell the stories of how I messed up with my first 2 attempts at renting premises, I would say to do that before this one. This is more of a to-do list.

While it is essential to have knowledge, the reasons why you need the knowledge is just as, in fact maybe more, important. Because it will remind you what could go wrong. Plus you get to hear just how naïve I was back then.

Today I am going to give you an extensive list.
