Author: Kevin McDonnell July 30, 2024 Duration: 22:15
Kevin interviews Tina Cleary, a photographer turned property investor. Tina shares her journey from struggling with an inconsistent photography income to building a thriving property portfolio in just 18 months. Discover how Tina overcame her initial hesitations, leveraged her skills, and achieved financial stability through property investing. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Tina transitioned from a 28-year photography career with unpredictable income to generating nearly £4,000 monthly from property investments within 18 months. Despite initial hesitations and having no money on her property journey, Tina successfully entered property investing using no-money-down strategies and mentorship. Tina's first rent-to-rent deal, secured with borrowed funds, now generates £800-900 monthly profit and in January after paying off her investor will increase to £2300 which will covers her bills  Networking and leveraging transferable skills, such as property photography, can create additional income streams and investment opportunities. Tina stresses the importance of taking action, even when scared, as the alternative of staying stagnant is more frightening! Tina’s future goals include creating a legacy, helping others get on the property ladder, and exploring supported living investments for a positive social impact. BEST MOMENTS   "I will never regret doing this because I feel that nothing would have ever changed because I have tried so many things to have a more income."  "It's even scarier staying still and nothing changing. And I would bring my daughters here, which I already have bought one. And I hand on heart would just say, do it because it is life changing." "I think it actually helped like not having the money because like how you train us. So sometimes money can be a distraction."  "Don't wish for no problems, wish for the ability to handle bigger ones."  VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Website - https://ultimatepropertyinvestments.co.uk/about/ Photography Website - https://www.tinaclearyphotography.co.uk/welcome/#home MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.
