Cover Story
Linda and Paul Cronin
Founder Steve Bolton (centre) with PPP Franchise Partners
after some initial hard work without the sales slog I was trying to get away from. Secondly, where most other franchises leave you with just goodwill, with PPP we are accumulating tangible, appreciating assets in bricks and mortar. These were the key reasons we selected PPP.” Paul and Linda joined the PPP franchise
– through which they are building a highly cash-positive property portfolio – in April 2010. They now have four HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) up and running, a fifth in refurbishment and a sixth in the pipeline. The four properties produce nearly £70,000 annual operating profit. That’s after paying all costs, including mortgage, bills and maintenance, and allowing for voids and PPP’s management service fees. An average property in a PPP portfolio
will generate £15,000 gross profit per annum from rental income alone. You own the properties, so the income keeps coming in long after your commitment to PPP has expired.
“A large part of our decision to join PPP
was down to the integrity and quality of the network – both professional advisors and the other franchise partners,” says Paul. “We are now working with some truly great people who approach life with a very giving attitude and a philosophy of sharing their time and skills freely. The focus is on achieving financial security and thus being able to choose how, and with whom, we spend our time. Being part of such a community has already had an incredibly positive impact on our lives. Linda and I are enjoying more time together while giving something back; we’ve found a way to redress the balance between input and return and are enjoying all the personal and financial rewards of running our own business.” PPP offers a different solution to
standard franchise options; one that is not dependent on trading your time for money yet still offers a valuable and tangible asset base and a regular income. If you’re interested in replacing or
supplementing your income and want to ensure your pension provision provides you with financial security – PPP can help you. PPP are currently offering
complimentary copies of the book ‘Successful Property Investing’ by PPP’s founder, Steve Bolton. The book helps you learn how to sidestep the pitfalls that trip up many inexperienced investors and set yourself well on the path to running a successful property business. If you’re new to investing, this book will help fast- track your success, and if you already have a portfolio, it will provide an injection of fresh ideas.
