011 Abi Hookway and Gordie Dutfield

Gordie is part of the touchstone education team, he has been involved in sales for his entire life, previously running a large sales company. He is now involved in building the touchstone brand Abi is managing director for the Paragon Group, she has a large amount of previous experience in senior management roles. They each run their own Serviced Accommodation business. After fearing that property was a difficult venture, Abi attended the SA Masterclass and decided to invest in the Peak District for SA, mainly for the tourism industry, and for her own family to travel to. She now has 2 units, with another 5 in the pipeline, and was the first one in her family to do it. The main thing previously ' holding her back ' was that she thought property required a lot of money, and experience. She thought it was simply something that was out of her reach. Little did she know she was more than capable of achieving success in property. Abi follows the Rent to Rent strategy, meaning she controls the property, but doesn't actually need to own any of the properties. Gordie started the Touchstone Education Serviced Accommodation masterclass 18 months ago,with no previous experience and is now also involved with rent to rent. None of his family are involved in property, so again he was the first to make this jump. He didn't have a lot of spare time, despite his well paid day job he decided 18 months ago that he wanted to get into SA. Although his day job was well paid, he was exchanging a heck of a lot of time for money. It took him 3 weeks to acquire 2 rent to rent units. He now stands at 28 units, with another 5 going live soon. They earn an average of £1000 a month… EACH. Listen now to learn: Why getting started in property requires no previous experience How to manage and make money from properties you don't even own Why being the first person to do something is not a bad thing
