SUCCESS STORY

From £20,000 to a multi-million pound property portfolio

Steven Potter has grown up with property investment, but when he took control of his parents buy-to-lets in 2019, he was unsure of direction so he turned to Touchstone Education for guidance.

Fast-forward just a few years and with minimal investment he now has multiple income streams and a £1.2 million property portfolio.

£1.2 Million Buy-To-Let And Serviced Accommodation Property Portfolio

Purchased Properties In The Lake District For Just £2

Less Than £20,000 Invested

“I took Touchstone Education's advanced wealth through property course and it completely changed the way I approach investing. It gave me a deeper understanding of the market, allowing me to identify opportunities faster and make more informed decisions with my buy-to-let business. This course has opened up so many doors for me and I'm confident that I'm on track for long-term success.”

Seven properties and a £1.2m portfolio

Steven continued, “Initially, talking about other ways of buying the properties (which weren’t easy for the vendors to take on board), meant that the first meeting didn’t go well.

“I wrote a 15-page book that looked at different strategies and how they work, and sent it to the vendors and asked for feedback, which they did with lots of questions and comments. The main questions were on Rent to Rent (R2R) and PLO and once I talked them through it, they came back to me with the idea of the PLO for the two properties.

“The end result is that my portfolio has grown from zero to seven properties, valued at £1.2m, but less than £20,000 invested. Therefore my return on investment (ROI) is in the region of 200%.

“On top of this, I have built multiple income streams through multiple companies. These include sourcing, refurbishments/maintenance/repairs, full estate agency (sales and lettings) and portfolio management/planning, BTLs and SAs.

“With the recent SSAS pension addition I’m building a legacy group of companies for the future.
“Touchstone has helped me in many ways and I’m looking forward to being financially free; and I’m almost there.”
