Before joining the TGPC mentoring group event crew, I already owned a portfolio of let properties, all of which I had refurbished to some degree, and amongst which was a courtyard development of 6 flats which I had created from a collection of derelict shops. However, the challenges of ownership since 2008 had deterred me from making further purchases and my confidence had declined noticeably.

Assisting on the mentoring course and sitting in on the sessions have restored that confidence , shown me how to leverage my time, and shown me how to attract joint venture investors, as a result of which I am engaged now in transactions to augment my let portfolio, to buy a site to create six flats from two houses, and to buy a bungalow on a large site and get planning permission to replace the bungalow with three or four 4 bed houses.
