One of the biggest mistakes I see investors make is losing track of renovation costs 👇

That’s exactly why I built my Deal Analyser Spreadsheet.

Every renovation cost gets entered individually, and I can mark each one as either a quote ✅ or an estimate ⏳. That means I always know which trades I’m still waiting on and what costs need confirming.

The best part? All those figures automatically feed into the main dashboard, giving me a live view of the project’s numbers and profitability.

From there, I can instantly assess different exit strategies:
🏠 Buy-to-Let
🔄 BRRR
đź’° Buy-to-Sell

Having all the data in one place helps me make informed decisions based on facts, not guesswork.

If you want to use the same spreadsheet to analyse your own deals and renovations, you can download it via the link in my bio đź”—

Renovation planning starts long before the work begins.

As a full-time working mum of two boys, I was up early this morning to meet the builders and window fitter before their busy day got underway. They’d only been able to quote from drawings and photos, so today was about getting firm costs agreed and, most importantly, securing a date in the diary.

They’re the first contractor in my programme, so once their dates are locked in, I can schedule the rest of the works around them and keep the project moving efficiently.

Good project management isn’t just about what happens on site—it’s about coordinating the right people at the right time to keep everything on track.

Some good news 🙌🏻

Not all property updates are about the numbers… 🙌🏻

Around 7–8 months ago, I let one of my properties to a family who had moved all the way from down south.

Moving house is stressful enough, but relocating that far and starting over in a completely new area can’t be easy.

I recently checked in and it was such a good feeling to see how well they’ve settled in.

They’ve made the house their home, they’re looking after it brilliantly, and most importantly, they seem genuinely happy.

Of course, from a financial perspective, having great long-term tenants is exactly what every landlord hopes for.

But beyond that, it feels good on a personal level too.

Sometimes property investing isn’t just about bricks, mortar and returns. It’s about providing someone with a place they can truly call home. 🏡❤️

Just when I thought the property drama was behind me, my newest tenants have handed in their notice after only 5 months.

No issues with the house—they simply can’t settle in the area. Frustrating? Absolutely. Another round of advertising, checks, and paperwork? Yep.

But that’s property investing. You deal with the setbacks, keep moving forward, and focus on the long game.

Here’s hoping the next tenants are the ones who stay for years, not months. 🏡💪

Yay we hit 6000. Thanks for following us on this journey.

We made a huge decision to move 250 miles north 5 years ago with ÂŁ40k to invest into property.

We’re now on property 6 and learning and sharing as we go.

I love receiving messages from people in a similar position and starting their investment journey it honestly keeps this page going and me going at times.

We’re about to jump into property 6. Our second flip or maybe first Airbnb. It’s a tough one with a few structural issues which is a first for us but will share the highs and lows along the way.

Lauren and Noel.

I want to show you the real side of property investing.

The last two weeks have been the most stressful I’ve experienced since starting this journey.

The new solicitor we instructed delayed our purchase by failing to review documents until the day before completion, despite us providing everything upfront and chasing throughout the process. We ended up missed completion date and incurred penalties.

At the same time, the chain on our bungalow sale collapsed, causing more delays and uncertainty.

Then, on top of all that, I’ve been told I could potentially be made redundant from my job.

It’s been a lot to deal with, and if I’m honest, it’s the first time I’ve felt properly knocked by everything.

Social media often shows the wins, the deals, and the success stories. What it doesn’t show are the setbacks, delays, stress, and sleepless nights.

Property investing can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be incredibly challenging.

Right now, I’m taking some time to rest and reset ready for the next set of problems!
