In this episode Bronwen Vearncombe talks about developing different models of providing Emergency Accommodation for people at risk of homelessness or who have been homeless. She shares how she has used purchase lease options to secure property, grow her portfolio and create safe secure places for people at times of need.

Property Investor, #1 best-selling author and coach, Bronwen Vearncombe, has built a successful business over the last eight years and been able to give up her full time corporate banking job and find freedom.

Having been told she’d not be able to retire until aged 67 – she knew there must be a way to escape and to spend more time with her husband and two children, and maybe even be her own boss! In just two years she and her husband replaced their corporate income with property rental and left their jobs.

HMOs, holiday lets, guest houses, development and a SSAS pension, alongside her experience of working with investors and joint ventures, and never managing a property, has been her route to time freedom

Just 18months later they set out to follow their dreams and specific adventures: John circumnavigated the globe with the 17/18 Clipper Round the World yacht race, and Bronwen followed working in the business on laptops and volunteering along the way. Travelling the world proved that they could balance a property business and have time to have fun!

Bronwen is currently in Africa after spending 6months volunteering in Namibia at her favourite wildlife conservation group (a great place to escape the UK lockdowns).
