What would you do if you were made redundant after a 30-year corporate career?
In this inspiring property success story, we sit down with Mark Golder, a former Managing Director earning £150,000 a year, who pivoted into UK property investing after losing his job. From corporate real estate to building a high-yield 7-bedroom HMO in the North East, Mark shares exactly how he turned uncertainty into opportunity.
After being made redundant, Mark joined the Academy within a week and has since:
• Purchased a run-down Victorian property for £95,000
• Invested £170,000 into a full back-to-brick refurbishment
• Increased the projected value to £380,000 using a commercial valuation
• Built a power team to manage and scale his portfolio
• Set a target of 13 HMOs within the next year
This is a real-world BRR to HMO strategy in action, covering everything from commercial valuations and recycling cash, to avoiding costly joint venture mistakes and leveraging a SASS pension for property investment.
