In this week’s episode, Nick Claydon sits down with long-time friend and social housing expert Ben Green to explore the complex, impactful world of supported living property strategy. With over a decade of experience navigating buy-to-lets, HMOs, commercial conversions, and now highly regulated supported living, Ben shares his personal journey of pivoting from mainstream property investing to a strategy that creates real social impact.

Key Takeaways

• Supported living is split into 3 main strategies.
• Exiting the traditional private rental market gave Ben clarity.
• Getting it right means partnering with strong covenants.
• Demand far exceeds supply, with over 300,000 unit shortages.
• This strategy isn’t easy but it’s as close to passive income.
