Hi everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself & my Business Cozy Co Dwellings Ltd I’m a Property Investor who purchases property in the north East. My career has been defined by dedication, adaptability, and a drive to secure a prosperous future for myself and my family. After leaving school, I joined Barclays Bank PLC, where I built a solid foundation in finance over 13 years. During this time, I partnered with my father to purchase a property as an investment, a decision that would later influence my journey into Property. Seeking a new challenge, I left Barclays to establish a specialist finance department for a leading car supermarket, honing my skills in management and strategic operations. However, my desire to make a meaningful difference led to a complete career shift when I joined the London Fire Brigade. For the past 19 years, I have proudly served as a London firefighter, balancing the demands of the job with the joys of family life. Happily married with two children, I have loved the camaraderie and purpose of my role in the fire service. Yet, as the years have passed, the physical toll of working nights and enduring the rigorous demands of firefighting began to weigh on me. Encouraged by a colleague, I explored property investment as a potential path to secure early retirement. Inspired by books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and countless hours of self-education through Audible, YouTube, and podcasts, I decided to act. Leveraging equity from my initial investment with my father, I took the leap into property investing. My first project, a house of multiple occupancy (HMO), was a resounding success: I refurbished, rented, and refinanced it, learning invaluable lessons along the way. Now, Im working on my second HMO and steadily building my property portfolio. I’m looking to connect with likeminded people so please feel free to connect.
