    In this week’s Winners on a Wednesday, I sit down with experienced landlords Ryan and Claire to discuss how they’ve successfully adapted their property investment strategies to thrive in today’s challenging market. With rising interest rates, tougher tenant regulations, and the increasing risks of traditional buy-to-lets, it’s clear that doing property the "old way" just doesn’t work anymore.

    We explore how Ryan and Claire pivoted their portfolio to generate passive income through creative property deals, HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), and serviced accommodation. They share insights into their journey, from the early struggles of saving deposits to achieving financial freedom with a focus on lifestyle over excessive profit.

    🔑 KEY TOPICS COVERED:
    → Why traditional buy-to-lets no longer work in the current climate
    → How to convert properties into HMOs for better returns
    → The benefits and risks of owning property in personal names vs. companies
    → How to maximise passive income without becoming a full-time landlord
    → Real-life property investment stories and lessons learned
    → Misconceptions about landlords and how to avoid common pitfalls
    → Why mindset is critical for property success
