Key Topics Covered:1. From Furlough to Property FreedomHow COVID and furlough ended Athena's high‑performing travel career overnight.Using that pause to ask, “Is this the life I want for the next 5–10 years?”Buying her first flat in Bournemouth, getting the numbers wrong, and why she still calls it her “baby” and best teacher.2. Rent‑to‑Rent, Burnout and Pivoting StrategyMoving into rent‑to‑rent HMOs and serviced accommodation to generate cashflow.The reality of late‑night calls, guest issues and stress – including the Sunday night window incident.Handing back all rent‑to‑rent properties and feeling as free returning the keys as when she first got them.Pivoting to simpler, long‑term strategies: buy‑to‑lets and buy–refurbish–refinance, with flips and land development as future options.3. Building Girls in Property: Community, Recurring Income and SupportWalking into a networking room of 45 people with only three women and thinking, “That's a shame.”Finding no UK‑based female property networks or podcasts, then launching Girls in Property in 2023.Growing from a passion project that made no money for over a year into:A sponsored weekly podcast.A £30/month online membership (two live calls a month: “prosperity” and property strategy).A national community hosted on Circle, plus summer/winter parties and an annual training event.How Girls in Property now replaces and exceeds her old salary as a recurring revenue stream.4. Education, Strategy Choice and Market Opportunities“Don't rush to buy a course”: only invest if you can implement from day one.Use free education first (podcasts, YouTube, books) and do due diligence on paid training.Choosing strategy based on four resources: knowledge, money, time, energy – plus personality and end goal.Example of a mentee who came for rent‑to‑rent but was better suited to partnering with an investor on flips.Why today's market, with older landlords exiting, offers opportunities if you talk to people and build relationships with agents.5. Health, Wealth and Your Own Version of SuccessAthena's view of financial freedom as choice – the ability to respond to life, travel and allocate time where it matters.Burning out twice and realising “health is wealth” – long‑term wealth is pointless if you destroy yourself getting there.Her guiding question: “What does your version of success look like – and who's standing next to you on that hill?”Current focus: simplifying businesses, building cashflow and wealth, and aiming to be retired by 50 with businesses that don't rely on her daily presence.Actionable Takeaways:Assess your knowledge, money, time and energy before choosing a strategy.Use free education first; only buy courses you're ready to implement immediately.Document your journey from day one to build trust with future investors and partners.Avoid shiny penny syndrome – simplify down to strategies that fit you and your goals.Protect your health and pace yourself; wealth building is a long‑term game.Resources & Next Steps:Girls in Property Community & MembershipGirls in Property PodcastWealthBuilders Membership: Free access to guides, webinars, and communityConnect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey:  Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Your property portfolio is facing its biggest threat in a decade, and it's coming directly from the government. Today, Sean talks to Kevin McDonnell, who teaches 1000s of property professionals how to protect and grow their portfolios. He's a seasoned investor who's dissecting the government's next potential moves on property tax. Kevin and Sean break down the proposed seismic shifts in stamp duty and what they mean for you and your next purchase, the potential overhaul of capital gains tax and the rumoured new annual tax for property owners that could impact your cash flow. Stay tuned to the end as Kevin reveals the hidden opportunity and the surprising upside for savvy investors. KEY TAKEAWAYS The changes will lead to seismic changes especially if they eliminate stamp duty and introduce a National Property tax. Including the prices of cheapest properties soaring, so get in early. Be alert to opportunities created by market fear and uncertainty. When others are hesitant, there are bargains to be found. Understand all of the proposed changes : Stamp Duty, Capital Gains, National Property Tax and National Insurance for Landlords. Surround yourself with knowledgeable people and experts that can help you make informed decisions and rework your strategies. Attend educational events, such as Progressive´s free "Multiple Streams of Property Income" event to learn how to protect and grow your portfolio in a changing tax environment. Investigate the possibility of purchasing investment properties through limited companies. This could mitigate the impact of new taxes that target personally owned buy-to-lets. Consider buying before the proposed changes take effect. Focus on long-term strategies rather than short-term gains. BEST MOMENTS "It's all about having the knowledge and the people around you that will teach you how to do this stuff right." "We're running a Multiple free Streams of Property Income event soon. It's specifically around the things that are happening now … Come and learn about how to protect themselves when this stuff happens."
