How Anne Houlton used the BRRR Property investing strategy to replace her 6 figure Dentist income

In this episode I’m speaking with the lovely Anne Houlton a Property Investor and Property Educator. Her speciality in property investing is the Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance Strategy. She was a dentist until her passive income from property meant she was able to give up her day job and focus on property and on training other people to become financially free through property investing.

She has built up with her husband Steve 80+ Buy to Let Properties with a current valuation in excess of £9 million and equity of £5 million. Now their income from property has more than replaced both their six-figure per year salaries.

How Susanna Cole quickly built a £45M property business with the right systems

How Susanna Cole quickly built a £45M property business with the right systems

I’m so happy to introduce you to a legend Susannah Cole, I came across her mid way through my journey and spent hours down the rabbit hole researching her. Susannah is one of the UK’s most successful self made property investors. She broke out of the corporate lifestyle and followed her dreams and took the risk to set up the Good Property Company which she has now been running for over ten years. However, it only took Susannah 3 ½ years to become a property millionaire, and in her first 3 months as a deal packager.

Within a short time she bought and flipped over 200 properties she got an amazing system in place and then scaled very quickly. With determination and the right knowledge, Susannah believes anyone can succeed in property starting with little. She now has her multi million pound property portfolio consisting of HMO’s, single lets and serviced accommodation. She’s a great mentor, coach and exudes a lot of passion as she tells about the key learning points during her journey. She talks about the keys steps to take to set up yourself to scale, and very strong parting words for anyone looking to get started.

This episode is definitely dedicated to anyone looking at how to scale your business and the key principles you need to understand as you work towards growing your property portfolio starting with very little.

Why Serviced Accommodation combined with Rent to Rent is Amazing!

How Serviced accommodation works coupled with rent to rent! An amazing strategy for maximising the return on your income. As a developer, I “stumbled” upon this strategy 9 years ago when I noticed the disparity between normal rent and SA nightly rates and have never looked back! I discuss how it works with numbers as well. It’s taken a hit due to lockdown but now it’s back, better be ready!

How you can pursue your passions & still build a portfolio - interview with Jackie Stewart

I say property investing meets you where you are. I caught up with the lovely Jackie Stewart, we discussed our motivations for getting into property investing, going back to how we both bought our 1st properties, some of the potential difficulties when starting out and mistakes we have both encountered during our journey. We also covered some tips to think about when employing different property strategies. Her passion for teaching financial independence to youth through her company Funancial training really came through and her plans for the future were worth a good listen and of course we talked about kids and our experiences during the Lockdown. Do check out the outro at the end of the podcast as I also talk about the next episode which covers this topical BLM issue! i’m trying to find my voice in this Black lives matter issue as we can’t stay silent. How do we make an impact by showing up and taking responsibility for ourselves whilst holding people responsible for getting more with the times in their attitudes, and i’ll be discussing with 2 women within the property space their experiences and thoughts about this. So until then keep safe. live well, build assets and lets make an impact!

Crushing Covid19 - disruption or opportunity? Your choice.

How can we not talk about it? To say Covid19 is a major disruptor is almost an understatement. In a short space, it has completely transformed the way we live, shop, work and run businesses. The landscape of the UK property market and any strategies I would have listed to succeed in property only 2 weeks ago has changed dramatically. My focus has therefore shifted to highlight the 5 major challenges and how we can potentially take advantage of this situation, thrive in it and utilise it to our benefit.
