So you got the headlines from the main page. Here’s a little more about me and my journey …

I was one of the rare people that attended University to get a degree. Having moved from the Isle of Man to Wales for the sole purpose of a degree, I was quite disheartened when I only had a few lectures a week. So, I started reading and learning about property investing and I found it fascinating, and still do!

Whilst studying I bought my first property with my now husband and we added value to that property which gave us some equity to play with. Then I used that equity to buy my first rental property just before I left University. And my goodness, what a learning curve! I had bought a student HMO (house of multiple occupation) and there was a lot of learning and compliance that went with it. But I did it myself and I managed the property myself and as well as getting a degree, I also got a lot of education at grass roots level when it came to property investing.

When I did graduate, I started a career as a journalist (see more below) and after a few years I was made redundant (full story in my blog). As my income came to a sharp halt, my rental property continued to pay me every month. It was then I realised nobody would look after me financially, I had to do it. This was my turning point.

Since that turning point I now have a substantial buy to let portfolio, a lot of my properties are HMOs and in 2015 I was recognised at a national level.

Now I combine both skills and passions; Property investment and financial security and giving people the information they need to succeed.

I am passionate about making your assets work for you and the Asset Based Living movement is an awareness that you need to grow your asset base and you need to make it work for you.
