In this episode of Winners on a Wednesday, I take you behind the scenes with Paul Smith - a kickboxer-turned-property-investor and one of my most committed Academy members. You'll get a full tour of his latest 4-bed HMO in Bolton, built using the powerful BRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance) strategy and rented room-by-room for maximum cashflow.
If you're wondering how to invest in property in 2025 and beyond, this is the exact blueprint: low entry costs, strong returns, and full compliance. Paul's story shows how ordinary people can build extraordinary portfolios — with the right strategy and the right mentorship.
💰 This HMO brings in a net monthly income of £1,625 after all costs, and Paul’s just bought another property already!
