We’re celebrating the 4th anniversary of The HMO Podcast! Can you believe it?

Over the years, I’ve learned so much—not just about podcasting, but about business as a whole.

In this special episode, I want to take the opportunity to celebrate and reflect on those lessons, as many of them will be applicable to your own HMO property business.

Join me as I share the most important insights I've gained over the past four years while building this part of my business. I believe these will be incredibly valuable for you in your own property journey.

Please leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us celebrate this milestone!

In this episode, I'm answering a question recently asked by one of our members in the HMO community. It was a great question that led to some interesting discussions, although people had different opinions.

Steven asked how to go about buying an HMO with tenants in place that needs some cosmetic work.

As you can imagine, the answer isn’t simple, and there were different views. If you’re thinking about buying an HMO yourself, whether it comes with tenants or you have the option to do so, this is definitely something to consider.

We’ll dive into this topic, and I’ll share my best advice on how to handle it.

Are you managing the finances for your property business effectively?

In this episode, I’m going to share a simple but powerful tip to help you manage your property business finances. You might be wondering why this matters so much.

Well, there are two big reasons. First, if you’re not keeping track of your finances, you can’t really measure how well your business is doing. Without that insight, you’re flying blind.

Second, ignoring your finances can lead to a bunch of small problems that will eat up your time and energy. As a property investor, your time is valuable. You didn’t start this business just to spend all your time managing it. The goal is to make money and get some of your time back.

So, stick around, and I’ll show you exactly how I manage my property business finances. This approach could help you streamline your work and reclaim your time.

In this episode, we’ll talk about why it’s so important to start with the end in mind when building a property business.

Here’s what I do with every mentee: we sit down together to plan out their business and then work backward from that plan. I’m interested in what they want their business to look and feel like in the future, not just in terms of money but also in the freedom and flexibility it provides.

Too often, people begin building their property business without a clear vision. As a result, they might reach some financial goals but end up with a business that doesn’t give them the lifestyle they wanted.

I’ll explain why it’s crucial to design your business around your future goals. We’ll cover important factors like location, tenant types, cash flow and equity management, risk tolerance, legacy plans, and realistic timeframes—all while making sure you enjoy the process and keep a good work-life balance.
