The Inside Property Investing Podcast | Inspiration and advice from a decade investing in UK real estate Mike Stenhouse: Property Investor

I first crossed paths with Daniel a few months ago, during one of our commercial to residential open days.

Daniel, along with all our guests, shared his introduction, and right away, it was clear he was someone whose story deserved the spotlight.

His tale is a beacon of inspiration and motivation, showcasing the remarkable possibilities that come with determination and vision.
Daniel's venture into the world of property began about seven years ago, alongside his dad and brother.

Together, they embarked on a mission to build a business that would bring them more freedom and opportunity.

They started with rent-to-rent strategies, dedicating their initial years to developing a profitable portfolio in what's arguably one of the most accessible paths into property investment—despite requiring some capital.

However, what sets Daniel and his family apart is their forward-thinking decision to not just stop at rent-to-rent.

They leveraged their success by investing in buying assets, utilizing profits from their existing portfolio and forming partnerships with investors seeking a more hands-off investment strategy.

Learning about their story, the transitions they've navigated through, their growth, and the invaluable lessons along the way has been incredibly enlightening.

We believe you'll find Daniel's story as captivating and motivational as we did.

Six years ago, Philippa and Tom Charrier, the dynamic duo behind the Fat Properties brand, graced the IPI podcast with their presence to share the humble beginnings of their student HMO ventures in Lancaster—my old university haunt. 

About half a year later, Tom made a return appearance to drop a bombshell: he was ditching his day job to plunge headfirst into property investment. 

We dove deep into their thought process, the meticulous planning that paved the way for this bold move, and why the timing felt just right.
Fast forward to today, and it's like no time has passed at all. Though we've kept in touch and I've keenly watched their progress, it boggles my mind that it's been five whole years since our last chat. And what a ride it's been! 

The Charriers are back on the show to walk us through the rollercoaster of the last five years—how their business has evolved, the strategic shifts they've made, and the exciting new ventures beyond the realm of student housing.
In the early days, they zeroed in on a niche strategy that not only allowed them to specialize but also to build a robust income foundation to support their dreams. 

Once they hit a certain level of financial comfort and security, the world became their oyster.

They've since branched out into thrilling projects like hotel conversions, grade two listed buildings, serviced accommodations, and passion projects that still line their pockets, all while resting on a cushy financial safety net.
Whether you're just dipping your toes into the property investment waters or you're a seasoned investor contemplating your next big move, there's a treasure trove of insights waiting for you in this episode.

I am thrilled to be back today with an episode I am so excited for you to listen to with an amazing lady called Sabine Abdou, a property investor who comes from a background in corporate negotiations - a really switched-on individual who applies her corporate expertise to a lot of the deals that she is doing in property. 
And today we get into some of those details I think you will find really interesting, like how she applies that background in corporate negotiations to securing all money out deals. She started investing seriously only a few years ago back in 2020 after almost a lifelong passion of property investing.

We get into all the background about her story, how she came up through the corporate world, how she translated that into property, and what her plans are for the future.

One of these is Freewyld, a venture that's reimagining the staycation experience in California, with plans to expand across the US.

Alongside this, Jasper continues to share his expertise on Airbnb and short-term rentals through his brands, Get Paid for Your Pad and Overnight Success.
Our conversation today is a treasure trove of insights, not just on Jasper's journey, but also on the future of the market.

In today's episode, I’m going to show you why HMOs are the single best investment option for you if you’re looking to create more freedom in your life - whether that freedom looks like more money, to spend now or build wealth for the future, or like more time, to quit a job, do something you’re more passionate about, or just spend it doing the things you love with the people you love. 

This is a recording of the kick-off call for our upcoming HMO Challenge that I hosted live with a group of aspiring investors.  

If you're unsure about whether HMOs are the right option for you, give it a listen and see if it helps you make up your mind.
