👉 She pivoted the business to incorporate selling family homes via Auction and Deadline sale.

👉 In 2010 she moved to Cornwall UK with her Cornish partner (now husband 😊) and launched a Rent-to-Rent HMO business.

👉 Then growing that business to include managing properties too (Lettings and Property Management).

👉 As a result of Section 24, Latoya set up and ran a Serviced Accommodation business.

👉 In 2022 Latoya stopped the SA business to pursue something that she’d wanted to do for a VERY long time… work with property business owners to help them with systems, procedures and working with Virtual Assistants – and Outsourcing Your Property Business was launched.

👉 She writes monthly for the YPN Magazine (Your Property Network), and is a regular speaker at the PPN events throughout the country (Progressive Property Network). And Latoya often guest appears on various property podcasts, as well as speaking for other property communities too.

In this episode, Latoya is chatting with Michelle Cairns about her move into the property developer space and how property mums get it all done

Michelle shares great advice on the value of getting systemised, being part of a community and explains the importance of a good VA if you want to have flexibility and time away from the day-to-day running of your property business.

Michelle also shares the link to a great FREE quiz that she has out at the moment for anyone who wants to find out what their strategy should be for 2023

 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Within the property education community, the YPN magazine is well recognised and everyone is connected
• We have a team of VAs who look after the day to day
• We have outsourced, automated and systemised wherever possible to minimise my involvement
• Getting a good VA makes a huge difference, selecting the right person for the role and your character is key
• Working out your numbers and knowing what you need every month is the starting point
• It comes with a level of juggling and being a Mum means you move to the next level with multi-tasking and be very flexible
• If you have your own business you have to do what it takes and if you don’t have your own business yet, you have to do what it takes to get there

 BEST MOMENTS

‘Getting the right systems in place makes everything much smoother

‘We wanted the flexibility and choice to do what we want’

‘You have to do what it takes to get where you want to be’

Mike Stenhouse at Inside Property Investing is with Latoya talking about building a property business that means you can pursue your adventures at the same time as maintaining and growing your property business

This is a great insight into what it takes to build a successful team that can work with you flexibly wherever you are in the world

• A couple of HMOs generate as much as the average UK salary so you don’t have to have a huge portfolio to make it work financially and have a massive impact on your life
• We do a lot of commercial to residential conversions now
• The plan we put in place meant we were able to sail around Europe in our boat and still successfully run our property business
• We’ve worked on creating flexibility for our team, it’s something we could offer that big corporate organisations couldn’t
• The benefit of owning property is the income generation
• When you work together you need to understand each other's motivation
• As a business owner, you need to have balance across your personal and business life to be effective
• Every aspect of your life affects your business
• Setting out your ideal work schedule helps but flexibility needs to be built in
• Any time away from your business has a cost and you need to understand what that is and how you can work around it
• You need to think about property as a business and outsource activities to support the business developing
• Put in place the processes and systems that mean your business runs effectively

BEST MOMENTS

‘HMOs can be very profitable, a minimum of a £1,000 per month pre-tax profit per house’

‘Sometimes we need to step away from our businesses and look after ourselves’

‘Boat life is where it’s at if you want an adventure’

Any investment that gives you some of your time back is a good return and in this episode Latoya shares great advice on how to start taking action that will move you effectively towards time freedom
Taking action is not free and if you want to focus on the high money making activities you need to invest in and implement the right systems, procedures, automation and outsourcing for your business

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• To build a property business that can operate day to day without you,  there will be a monthly cost to achieve this
• If you spend 90% of your business day doing low hourly rate tasks and 10% on high money making activities, investing in systems, procedures and outsourcing will make a positive impact
• Systems, procedures, automation and outsourcing are the cost of running a successful and real property business that doesn’t need you in it daily 
• Working with me means you are leveraging all my years of experience and expertise 

BEST MOMENTS
‘Imagine having an extra 30% of your business day to work on high money making tasks’
‘You can’t achieve true time freedom for free’
