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.

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." "Get those cheap properties snapped up….Whilst this window is open, it's time to make hay."
