Today we are speaking to husband and wife team Tushar and Anethia from London. Back in 2020 they came to us wanting a way to make their money work harder for them. Already owning a buy to let property close to their home, they understood that investing in property was a smart move but unfortunately, due to the high property prices in London, they couldn't afford to invest in an additional property close to home. After accumulating additional savings, they approached us in 2020 to help them invest in the Leeds buy to let property market. They now have a 2 bedroom buy to let property in Leeds which is generating just over £4500 in income every year.We recently spoke to them about their unique story, what their journey investing with us was like and how investing in BTL property is helping them. Listen along to see if you can relate to their story too. Let's get into it. 

Dilan was referred to us by one of our partners and wanted to create financial independence so that he could have the flexibility to live life the way he wanted.As an aspiring writer with a desire to travel, Dilan didn't want to work in a conventional 9-to-5 job. He saw it as a trade off of his time for money and that was a sacrifice he was no longer willing to make. Dilan purchased 2 Buy to Let (BTL) properties in Leeds with Lifestyle Property People and we spoke to him about his unique story, what his journey with us was like, from start to finish, and how his BTL properties are benefitting him. We feel thoroughly inspired by his unique outlook on life and we have no doubt that you will too.
