They bought a 26-bed HMO for £650,000 – with no survey, no finance in place, and they'd never even stepped foot in the building! 😱

In this week's episode of Winners on a Wednesday, I sit down with Ronnie and Emma from Kalen Group Properties – full-time property investors who went from electricians and office jobs to managing multi-million pound developments.

What makes their story remarkable isn’t just the risks they took – it's how they pulled it off: raising £65k from friends and family, surviving a Christmas financing disaster, and coming out the other side with over £600,000 profit… all in under 24 months!
