The HMO Podcast

Today's episode is a unique business update as we kick off our 10-week trip, a long-anticipated journey that embodies the purpose behind my hard work, sacrifices, and commitment in building businesses.

I'm pretty sure that most of you listening today share a deep sense of purpose driving your property investments, business ventures, and relentless efforts. Our 10-week journey is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us, representing a significant milestone in my career.

I'm immensely proud of what we've achieved to afford this opportunity.

Looking to finally start your own HMO business?

In today's episode, I'm joined by my good friend Craig Sullivan a.k.a. The Property Apprentice.

Craig is a hands-on property developer based in Medway (North Kent) who’s been investing in student HMOs for 15 years and has built a multi-million-pound property portfolio.

He has also built the largest Student HMO Lettings and Management Agency in Medway which not only manages his personal properties but local landlord’s stock too - they now have over 60 HMOs and over 250 Tenants.

So in this episode, Craig shared a lot about what it takes to build a successful HMO property business including:

• His goals for the year and how he categorises his goals
• How he started investing in HMOs
• His strategy and investment criteria
• The struggles of managing tenants
• What he likes about the student market
