What your Christmas Decorating habits reveal about you as an investor
Can you imagine our surprise when we discovered that there had been no studies completed (ones that we could find anyway) analysing the Christmas decorating habits of property investors and what these habits say about them.
So, after identifying this very big gap in the “personality profiling market”, we decided to fill it. It’s our gift to you as a property investor.
Because who doesn’t want to know what the date you put up your Christmas tree says about your investment choices?
