Unlock investing in HMOs from overseas - the launch of our first project
In this week’s episode, Jonathan pulls back the curtain on the launch of his very first HMO investment—an exciting milestone in his property journey.
He takes you through the entire process from the very beginning, starting with how he identified the right investment strategy while living thousands of miles away, all the way through to financing the deal, managing the refurbishment remotely, and planning for long-term scalability.
You’ll hear how he carried out his due diligence from abroad, built the right power team on the ground, and navigated the unique challenges of investing in a more hands-on property strategy like HMOs.
Jonathan explains why he chose this route, how it fits into his overall goal of achieving financial freedom within the next few years, and what steps he’s taking to make sure this first deal sets a solid foundation for future success.
He also dives into the structure of the finance and how he’s aiming to recycle his initial capital investment—so he can move on to the next deal faster and continue building momentum.
If you've ever wondered what it really takes to get started with HMOs, especially from overseas, this episode offers valuable insights, practical tips, and honest reflections from someone doing it in real time.
