Another driver for pursuing an opportunity in property and not going back into the corporate environment was to spend more time at home. When Mike explained to his son that he was looking for a new job, the 11 year old asked, “Dad, is this the job where you stay at home? I miss you.” Having spent the previous 20 years working 80-hour weeks and spending a considerable amount of time away from home, Mike realised that not only did his pension provisions have to change, but his whole lifestyle too. “I came to the conclusion that starting my own business would give me more freedom. Given that I’d also realised property was a viable option, I decided to combine the two.”
Mike started to research the opportunities available. Thinking that buying into a franchise would offer a ready-made infrastructure, he started to explore franchises operating in the property sector. At this point, he discovered Platinum Property Partners.
Within months of joining, Mike had completed his first property in Stockport, and a second seven months later. Once both properties were renovated and fully tenanted, Mike bought his third in September 2011.

latinum Property Partners (PPP) is a successful property investment franchise that enables both novice and seasoned property investors to build a sustainable,
profitable portfolio.
PPP developed a business model that maximises rental income from specialist buy-to-let shared housing for young professionals, with the added benefit of long-term capital growth.
The model generates much higher returns than traditional buy-to-let rental properties and produces a lifelong income stream that replaces or supplements salary, provides a rewarding addition to standard pension provision and creates a substantial inheritance for your loved ones. It was a long overdue review of his pension plans that started Mike Anderson’s journey towards building a property portfolio. Following his departure from a high profile role in an American automotive corporation, Mike Anderson took stock of his financial
position as part of the process to determine the direction of his next career move, and the results shocked him.
“The model generates much higher returns than traditional buy- to-let properties and produces a lifelong income stream”
When he analysed his pension statements, Mike found that, after 20 years of contributions, it was worth exactly what he had paid into it. By contrast, Mike had his home valued for remortgage purposes around the same time and it became apparent that the amount it had appreciated over the last eight years was double that of his pension investments. “It made me realise

Mike says: “I would never have achieved this level of financial security if I had stayed within the corporate environment, paying each month into an underperforming pension. Now, not only do I have a healthy monthly income, I am also building significant capital by redeveloping properties.” He continued, “But the best thing is that I now have a lifestyle I could never have achieved previously. My wife and I now have the time to nip for a coffee whenever we want, and if the family want to go on holiday, these days it’s a question of how long would we like to be away for, rather than ‘can I get the time off?’” If you’re ready for a new challenge or you’re interested in replacing or supplementing your income and want to ensure your pension provision will grant you financial security, PPP can help.
