Can a 21-year-old police officer turn property investor and thrive? 

Ellie Cockbain from Durham did just that, and she's back to share her exhilarating journey. Inspired by friends and backed by the Ultimate Service Accommodation Business Builder course, Ellie transformed from a quiet observer at networking events to securing her first property deal. Listen as she recalls the initial trials, from negotiating two months' free rent to refurbishing her first property, proving that young entrepreneurs can indeed break through in the property market.

Discover the ingenious strategies Ellie employed to secure rental properties, including negotiating with landlords facing heavy taxes and disruptive tenants. Her ability to turn challenges into opportunities is showcased with tales of acquiring a minimally refurbished four-bed house near Durham, resulting in notable profits. Through her creative networking tactics, including village group chats, Ellie signed a three-year lease agreement, highlighting the importance of persistence and exploring every possible avenue in property management.

Being a young professional in the property industry comes with its unique challenges, which Ellie navigates with resilience and determination. Overcoming negativity from older colleagues and staying updated with the latest trends and regulations are just parts of her journey. Join us as we discuss the significance of self-belief, systemizing property management through technology and outsourcing, and hear about Ellie's exciting future plans for expanding her portfolio and diving into property flips. This episode is a testament to the power of hard work, networking, and unwavering self-confidence.
