• HMO Management (what goes into managing HMOs and get my plan of action / key tips)
• HMO Marketing (how they should present, capture and share content to rent rooms fast)
• HMO How To Rent (what tenants and landlords need to know / their key responsibilities) 

"I became a HMO landlord at 20 years of age and self managed my own portfolio for 10 years while working as a marketing executive for construction companies. The reason I started self managing was because I was let down by other agents - calls not returned, maintenance not done and rent payments missed.

At first, I thought it was just me, but I quickly realised that this was a systemic problem... It became clear that NO ONE was providing the specialist services I needed and the same was true for other investors and landlords I networked with. That’s why I built Babouris. The HMO Agency - a business where people of house shares can expect exceptional customer service, quality accommodation that’s well maintained, and proactive marketing to maintain high occupancy levels… and Babouris. The HMO Agency. was born.

Since we launched we’ve grown into Cambridge’s recognised leaders for HMO lettings and management firm and the plan is to continue this strong growth. I continue to invest in my own HMOs and I’m lucky to work with many other great landlords to their market and manage their investments. "

There's lots that can be done close to home, even if you live in London or other high-value-low-yield areas.

It may not be achievable or desirable, but there is always a strategy that works.

Perhaps, with enough cash or investors, you don't need to trek miles from home to do what you need to do?

Ah, your first ever deal. So full of energy, belief and motivation. This is where you can really mess up, sorry to burst the bubble, BUT, learn from others mistakes here, don't make them yourself if you don't need to.

So, I guide you through the 3 key things I didn't do on my first, and other deals, that I think could save you £thousands, if not more, on your first deal. Or if you've done property before, without a refurb, then this will benefit before you do one.

Also - on my Youtube and IGTV.

What does graft mean to you? Working hard, or working smart? We could argue all day long which one is better, or, we could just start working!

Craig is the definition of a grafter, if you follow him on IG you will see this – daily.

We talk about what it takes to be successful in property, common mistakes with hard work, but also how it is very personal and applies to us all individually.

If you need motivation, or feel like you’re under or over working – tune in!

I’m born and bred in Manchester but after finishing university I decided to go and seek my fortune down south in London. My degree was in Business Finance so I started working in the banking industry. Although it was a great career with fantastic prospects I always felt something was missing. 

I had always had an interest in property and jumped at the opportunity to buy my first property. At the time I was living in a rented flat with 3 friends, we had mice, mouldy clothes and generally poor living conditions. I was in the position to buy a 4 bedroom house a stones throw from the Olympic Stadium – so on the same day I got on the property ladder I also became a landlord. I continued working in London until 2016 and during that time I bought and sold a handful of properties some of which I still own now. 

In 2016 (due to the birth of my first child) I made the decision to move back to Manchester, I left my job in London and decided to take a property much more seriously. Since then I’ve bought property in both London and Manchester. I have done a large number of BRRR projects, completed flat conversions and am at present working on a number of commercial opportunities. 

I’ve managed to create a great life through property.

My biggest project to date has been the conversion of a property in London into a 2 flats. The property was valued at £600,000 I spent £150,000 on the refurb/fees etc and sold at £537K and £360K – Profit £147K. I’ve built my property from scratch, self-funded it and now have a portfolio just shy of £4,000,000.

I’ve had numerous challenges. I did a development in London in 2017 which cost me £25,000. It involved a loft conversion and the loft space was just not big enough, it was a complete disaster. I’m forever chasing tradespeople and juggling different renovations. Before Christmas I had 3 renovations on at the same time. The biggest challenge I find however is timings of cash and making sure it’s in place when you need it.

Here, I discuss the pros/cons of 'small' BTLs especially using the BRR strategy and why they've annoyed me.

I do love them though, they are pretty irresistible and 'passive' so far.

I touch on:

• Income
• Passivity
• Maintenance
• Value vs Effort
• Small vs Big deals
• Simple vs Complex

It’s very difficult to escape this, you become so conditioned to what you’re doing, having a manager and structure to govern you. Quitting at this stage requires careful planning, but also the confidence and bravery to reject this lifestyle.

Tyna, did just that. What a success she’s made of it. We discuss the ups, downs and best practise for quitting your job. It’s not something to be taken lightly, especially if you have dependents, a mortgage, bills, cars etc. It’s a jump, but if you want freedom it has to be done.

James and Tej talk about their experiences quitting their jobs/other businesses and the best bits of advice from those experiences.
