Welcome to today's episode featuring Aston Haslam, a remarkable 26-year-old with an inspiring journey in the property industry. Despite starting out knowing nothing about property just four years ago, Aston has achieved incredible success. He has purchased 50 HMOs (Houses of Multiple Occupancy) within 12 months and sold them on attractive yields to overseas investors eager to enter the UK property market. Through this process, Aston raised nearly eight figures in funding to acquire these assets. Along the way, he faced challenges with social housing providers not fulfilling their agreements, highlighting the realities and hard truths of property investment. What's truly remarkable is that Aston and his team have built this extensive portfolio without investing any of their own cash. They solely utilized investor funds to finance their acquisitions. Today, their rent roll stands at an impressive £600,000 per year.
