Interesting speakers, great connections made looking to working with some local businesses.

Ever had one of those weeks where everything lands at once?

Viewings to cover
Check-outs stacking up
Tenants waiting
Staff off

…and suddenly there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

That’s where I come in.

SAVE THE COOPERAGE - NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE

20/10/2023

So.... 30 months on, blood, sweat, a few tears, and lot of hard work but we now have 5 lovely shiny new tenants in our very first HMO.
Has it taken too long - Yes
Has it cost more than we thought - Yes
Was it harder than we thought - Yes.

Do we regret it - Absolutely not!!!

Stepping into the house tonight to sort a few little snags gave me the chance to meet some of our tenants. It gave me a reminder of our WHY? We wanted to give some young keen professionals a space they could relax in, somewhere clean, warm and smart. Somewhere they can live at a fixed cost and build up some savings to move onto the next phase of their lives.
The smiling, chilled out, clean and tidy tenants I met today shows me that we have succeeded. To boot we now have a lifelong investment that will help us to navigate our retirement in the future.

I'm not sure how many of you guys will read this but if you have given us any encouragement, advice, helped us with the build or finances, thank you!!!

What next? A few months of normal, take some stock and see the kids. Then who knows, we may be looking for an Angel Investor looking for a return on their money and do it all over again.
