The world of property never fails to amaze me. This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with a fellow local investor from my own hometown of Benfleet, Essex @jaireason . After stepping away from professional football and welcoming his first child, Jai decided it was time to take charge of his next chapter and dive head-first into the world of property. Inside the football bubble, life after the game often isn’t talked about — but Jai made the most of those long away trips, using the time to read, learn, and prepare for what came next. Fast forward to today, and he’s built a thriving rent-to-rent serviced accommodation business, carrying over many of the traits that made him successful on the pitch — discipline, teamwork, and resilience. Now, he’s just been given the green light to take on a 24-bed guest house — a huge milestone in his journey. In our chat, we spoke about the striking similarities between sport, property, and business — how 80% of days are tough, but it’s the resilience to keep going, the company you keep, and the rooms you choose to be in that make the difference. #podcast #propertypodcast #property #propertylife #propertyjourney
