HMO Success Podcast Episode 68 - How Anna Wren is changing the student HMO market in Manchester
Anna is a numbers girl and as a result she knows what to look for in an HMO market and how to find ideal properties to convert into HMOs. After working abroad for a time, she decided to throw her hat in the ring in South Manchester, where she has built up an impressive portfolio of student HMOs. She tells Wendy just how she's coped during Covid and how the student market is looking right now. If you're thinking about investing in student HMOs or already do, Anna's experiences will no doubt strike a chord as she lets us in on cleaning, maintenance and running a student HMO.
Never one to rest on her laurels, Anna's new venture is taking her in other directions - linked to HMOs - but with a wider remit and it's something that might help you with if you're struggling to find projects or sites to develop.

HMO Success Podcast Episode 67 - At the Property Investor Show with Daryn Brewer from ProPods
I was fortunate to be at the Property Investor Show where I was speaking as part of a panel discussing the current challenges for HMOs. One of the other panellists was Daryn Brewer, from ProPods in Portsmouth. He has been regenerating his high street through transforming neglected buildings into valuable co-living properties.
I spoke to him about what he's been doing since ProPods began and how the brand is unfolding. We also discussed the challenges and opportunities ahead. A real go-getter, Daryn is focused on changing his local area by demonstrating a commitment to transformation, and being a voice for his local community.

Vann has a strong vision of where he wants the HMO industry to go - but do you agree with him? Is this vision or just wishful thinking?
