They said property was the key to freedom… so I went all in.
In 2024, I started a property business.
“Property is the safest way to build wealth.”
“Real estate is always a smart investment.”
“You can create passive income that lasts forever.”
RIGHT?!
I believed it. So, I jumped in—full force.
I did the research, went to the seminars, started networking, followed all the expert advice and even made some fantastic friends on the property scene. 🥳
I created a company, worked my way through all the regulations to be able to work as a property sourcer only to find out that my new boss was the HMRC anti-money laundering division...
...and those guys have no sense of humour. 😣
WHY? Because I was done with the grind. I wanted money that worked for me.
But it turns out that when you have no MONEY to invest, the only way to make money in property is by leveraging your TIME.
And that's the thing I didn't want to commit more of! So I was trapped again.
£13.5k of financial losses and 12 months of (in)sanity later, I can honestly say that I am glad to have come away unscathed.
And whilst I have learned a lot and hope to invest in property in the future, I am no longer interested in the more creative strategies this industry offers.
No more grinding for me!
Tomorrow, I’ll tell you how I got out of the traps, fixed my income streams (and my mindset) and made £3000 in truly passive income since January 2025.
