HMO Success Podcast Episode 82 - The HMO Daddy began investing in HMOs when he saw the possibilities they offered. Is that still true today? Jim Haliburton on his life and legacy.
Jim Haliburton is a one-of-a-kind investor. As a law lecturer, he saw the opportunity for student HMOs way back in the early 1990s. But how did he start to invest and what guidance did he take? He built a huge portfolio of HMOs before deciding to scale down and stick with the ones that were most profitable.
What are the lessons he has learned over the years and what is his unique take on the market?
He offers advice in his inimitable style about how to reduce your energy costs - in fact he claims he can get rid of your energy costs altogether.
His unique approach to investing in the West Midlands has seen him get a fair share of flack. He has often courted controversy with his no-nonsense approach. Listen to the man himself to learn how you can adopt some of his devil may care attitude and sleep better at night!

HMO Success Podcast Episode 79 - Susannah Cole from The Good Property Company - starting, staying the course and seeing the growth!
Susannah Cole started investing in property when she realised she had to find a way to increase her personal cashflow. As the head of household, with two young children, the £10 spare change she had per month was never going to give her the income she wanted or needed. By discovering how to add value to a property, and then re-finance it, she began to build up a sizeable portfolio.
She launched TGPC as a Deal Sourcing and JV Flipping Company, sourcing over 200 deals, at a value of £45 million for an agreed price of £30 million in less than 5 years. Her first 42 flips sold for £402k more than expected and she has raised (and fully paid back) ££millions in private finance. Today she helps property investors, from start up to experienced, through her Flagship Online 60 Day Academies and online property programmes.
She lives both in Barcelona near the Mediterranean and Bristol where her substantial property portfolio is based and enjoys travelling this wonderful world we live in. She has extensive experience in flips, HMOs, B-R-R and is a well-known and highly regarded property expert.
