How three of Platinum Property Partners’ female franchisees secured their families’ fi nancial futures through buy-to-let investment
INVESTMENT LEVEL: PRICE ON APPLICATION P
roperty is no longer a man’s world, and here’s three women who are living proof of that. Despite having their different motivations for getting into the property industry, they all have
one thing in common – they have each successfully built their own specialist buy- to-let business, that gives them a lifelong income, by joining Platinum Property Partners (PPP), the most successful property investment franchise.
“I replaced my salary in four years” – Cathy Colston, Bath
“Despite fi rst dipping my toe into the buy-to- let water in 2005 after inheriting a commercial property
in Cardiff, it wasn’t until four years ago that I looked at property investing as a route to fi nancial freedom.
“I’d worked for Boots for 22 years,
most recently as head of the pharmacy division commuting weekly to Nottingham from Bath. I decided I wanted to improve my work-life balance, so I left my job and focussed on my passion for property! “This was when one of my mentors
recommended I join PPP. After intense due diligence, I realised that this was a company that would really help me take my buy-to-let business to the next level. PPP gave me a structured support system and robust investment model that would enable me to maximise my returns. “PPP has changed my life. Not only do I now have a tried-and-tested formula to follow that has helped me to replace my salary, but I’ve developed personally with PPP in ways that I would never have imagined.”
“I can now be a good mum and a career woman” – Amanda Staton, Hounslow
“Becoming a mum made me realise that I wanted a job that would fi t in with my family life.
I left my career in consumer sales behind me and spent a year hectically juggling consultancy work with family. “But I knew I couldn’t be the kind of hands-on mum I wanted to be while working long hours and commuting to and from clients. I still wanted to work in some way, and contribute to the family’s income, so I needed to fi nd a business opportunity that would fi t around the children and our lifestyle. “With PPP, I found a business that would allow me to earn a good income while spending time with the children. What’s more, the properties would be mine and my husband’s and would mean we were building a solid legacy for the children.
“PPP taught me everything I needed to know about being a great landlord and how to run a great business”
“I joined in 2012 and haven’t looked back. I have three highly profi table properties up and running and a fourth in development. Being my own boss gives me the freedom to work the hours that I choose, which is really great for family life.”
“I went from inexperienced housewife to HMO Landlord of the Year” – Gertie Owen “After being a
housewife for 23 years and both my children had left home, and I was feeling very
redundant, maybe even suffering from ‘empty-nest syndrome’.
“I had absolutely no experience in any kind of property investment and I was looking for the best to teach me. When I found PPP it was just what I’d been looking for. They not only provided me with unrivalled training, support and guidance whenever I needed it, but also taught me everything I needed to know about being a great landlord and how to run a great business.
“Since joining three and a half years ago, I have exceeded my fi nancial goal, which was to have a portfolio worth around £2million and a net income of £100,000 a year after all costs. And I was delighted to be awarded the accolade of HMO Landlord of the Year in 2013.
“If someone like me, with little knowledge
or confi dence, can be successful working in partnership with PPP, then I’m absolutely certain that other people can do the same.”
