Building a 15 unit R2R Portfolio aged 19 and investing all of her life savings into property – did it pay off?

About Evie:I started this crazy property journey at the age of 19, just out of college and I had just started my first job working as a blank clerk. There was something in me that always told me that one day I was going to become a successful entrepreneur and own my own business, I just never knew what this business would be. One ordinary day my partner stumbled across a Facebook ad which was advertising a free property seminar in London, we signed up and the rest is history. Under my company, Pegasus Estate LTD (currently being re-branded to Pink Door Properties) I now have a portfolio of 15 properties a mix between SA and HMO's and have been able to buy my own home at the age of 20. The opportunities that property has given me are endless and I will be forever grateful. My next goal is to purchase a BTL property, potentially before the end of the year! I then hope to build a large BTL portfolio. Although property is my main passion, I also enjoy writing and therefore started a blog called That Property Girl Evie which is where I write about my experiences in both property and business.About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing. Soon after his second job… he was fired! A moment of relief and freedom was what he felt, not sure what his mother felt when he told her he was jobless at 23…He then went in search of a more ethical path, a business he could set up where the reward was equal to the work put in. “If they are making pounds, why am I making pennies?” - was his thought process, not happy with slow progression and bureaucracy (& having to wear smart shoes everyday). This lead him to opening a Recruitment business (not sure where the ethics went) which doubled in profit every year, for 4 years. He hated it. Golden handcuffs they call it.Fortunately, he used the cash he’d built up from that business, to educate himself in Property Investing. Soon, he’d stopped the business and transitioned into Property Investment full time. He then had a slow start -Purchasing 15 properties in his first 9 months, using over £650,000 of Investor Finance, he built a £1,200,000 property portfolio and created £30,000 of profit from flips. This gave him ‘financial freedom’, but it was the most stressful period of his life. Growing quickly is very painful.Let’s not forget that his Podcast grew to be the most-reviewed UK Property Podcast, peaking at 4,000 unique downloads per episode.His Podcast (Tej Talks) now sits at 660,000 downloads in over 100 countries and has 489 reviews, rated 5/5.
