Building a £3M Property Portfolio: Ellie's Journey from Lettings Head to Full-Time Investo
07/02/24 • 50 min
Hey friends! This episode is a special one because we're chatting with our very first guest, Ellie Donaghy from @elliespropertymission. Ellie used to be the head of Lettings at a big agency, but she left that behind to become a full-time property investor. In just 2 years, she built an impressive £3m property portfolio—all while raising two young kids!
Ellie specializes in HMOs (houses of multiple occupancy) and shares the nitty-gritty of being self-employed, working with private investors, and using bridging finance. She also opens up about managing her mindset and overcoming self-doubt (she even named it "Gordon"). There's so much wisdom packed into this conversation. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed chatting with Ellie!
