Corporate strategy meeting… but in the front room ✨

Same business brain. Very different presentation.

Outsourcing makes sense once you know what you’re outsourcing. You’re welcome x

10 years in corporate. I thought I’d have more to show for it financially.

I’ve progressed, been promoted, built a career I’m proud of. But somewhere along the way I realised earning more didn’t automatically mean I was building more for my future.

That’s what pushed me to start taking property seriously.

I invested in proper education because I didn’t want to put money into deals without understanding what made them good or bad. Free content got me started, but before risking my own money, I wanted a deeper understanding.

I started spending time around people who were further ahead than me, because seeing how they think and assess opportunities has taught me more than any course alone.

I realised the years I’d spent in compliance and ethics weren’t time lost in the wrong industry, they were transferable skills I hadn’t recognised yet. Assessing risk, reading contracts, questioning what doesn’t add up, all of it applies here too.

I started doing the due diligence on my own future the same way I would on any deal, working out what actually fits rather than copying whatever’s loudest online.

I’ve been building a power team, connecting with the right people rather than trying to work it all out alone.

And I started treating my pension the same way, not something I open once a year and hope is enough, but something I’m actively building on.

Not overnight.

Over time.

Spent the day in Whitstable learning what it takes to make 80k profit 🚀

Two minutes from the train station and five from the beach.

The southeast coast is having a moment and this project shows exactly why 🏖️

After a year stuck in this chain, I just did something that probably looks a bit cheeky.

I put an offer in on the house my own vendor’s been trying to buy.

Follow to find out if I manage to pull this off 😬

Genuinely didn’t think it would work as well as it did, but a little bit of patience saved £1,456 off a Howdens kitchen. Without compromise.

First thing, get an itemised quote with every unit priced out individually. It means you can compare quotes side by side as you negotiate, see exactly what’s changed or been discounted from the previous version, and stack them up against other companies line by line. Drop it into AI and it’ll do a thorough analysis for you. Without the breakdown you’re just comparing two totals.

Don’t include appliances. The margins aren’t there for the supplier so you end up paying a premium for the convenience of it being on one quote. Decent refurbished ones exist and you get to choose the spec you want.

Same with handles. Ours were £28 each, we had 14, that’s £392 just on handles. Find the same ones online for a fraction of that.

If you’re a landlord, sign up with LNPG. I used my membership to pull a like-for-like Magnet quote on the same ranges, it came in much cheaper and pre-built. Took that back to Howdens and they matched it.

They also have a warehouse stock problem, which works in your favour. If you’re flexible on delivery they’ll often move on price just to shift units.

Last one, mention you might have more properties coming. You don’t need to commit to anything, just plant the seed. It changes the tone of the conversation.

Most people just pay the first quote.Promise don’t have to.

Being a woman in property isn’t a disadvantage. It’s a differentiator.

I sat down with Jackie Collier to ask what’s really behind her success. and her answer was simpler than you’d expect.

Have a watch. 👆

Two corporate girlies trying to move into property.

Dani and I are both knee-deep in full-time careers, trying to build something on the side that eventually means we don’t have to be. The juggle is real 😅 Fitting viewings and due diligence and networking around a 9-to-5 that doesn’t care about your side hustle, also very real.

So I asked her straight. What’s the hardest part about building a portfolio at this age with everything going on?

The true optimist she is, She didn’t list the obstacles. She just said: don’t wait.
Not for the perfect moment, not for life to calm down, not for more time or more confidence or more certainty. Just start, and figure it out as you go.
We’re both figuring it out as we go. And we’re both further along than we would’ve been if we’d waited until it felt easier.
💬 If you’re in a similar position, corporate job, property goals, wondering how anyone actually makes this work, drop a comment. You’re not alone B x
