305 tenants, 19 properties at £4.4m and how to graft with Property_Apprentice

"0% Eviction rate over 1000 students."Why does Craig love Student HMOs? How does he buy in London? What's his JV Structure? These are some of the topics we discussed in todays episode, if you know him on IG, you know he is a hard worker. No excuses! Craig Sullivan is an entrepreneur with true passion for property and is also known from his Instagram alias of 'Property Apprentice' which is notorious for early morning motivational sing-songs, videos and "BIG UP THE GRAFTERS!".He purchased his first property at auction at the age of just 20 and has developed his property portfolio in the South-East, leaving his corporate job and pursuing property full-time at the age of 28. He studied Business at degree level but after attending his placement year he decided not to go back and has worked in Sales roles for major media companies such as Disney, Warner Brothers and Viacom. During this time, he purchased his second property (again from auction) of which was documented by the BBC and appeared on their hit show ‘Homes Under the Hammer’ (YouTube link - HERE).After achieving great results and feedback from these investments, he soon came to realise that there was a gap in the market for high-end student properties and began to replicate his business model; buying below market value properties, adding value cost effectively, securing good tenants and refinancing to repeat the process.As his personal portfolio was growing, he was approached by local landlords to manage their properties too. Craig immediately agreed and after some cheap flyers and a DIY website, his Letting agency was born. That Letting agency is now the largest provider of Student Houses in Medway, overtaking High Street names and local businesses who have been in the market for 25+ years.Craig was also nominated for Business Excellence in the Kent Independent Traders Awards 2016 where he received runner up in ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ and ‘Growth Business of the Year’ categories.He has appeared on multiple property Podcasts and is also a regular speaker on local TV Station KMTV, where he is asked to comment on recent property headlines and topics.

This is about being present, having a philosophy of life, making better choices and looking after your health. We will also be talking about business, investing and finances, this ensures all angles are covered and we reach a larger audience. Open, honest and balanced discussions are what I'm aiming to create with the same humour, spice and directness that Tej Talks is renowned for. I will not allow guests on who are not 100% honest, don't talk about the negatives or are not authentic on Social Media. It's important to have differing opinions on the show and provide new perspectives to the listener. I want people to listen, watch and engage with the brand in a positive way, and to always be learning from my content and using it to better themselves. It's important to highlight the balance between wanting more, being more yet staying content and grateful for what we have. This is a key point that will be talked about in every episode.I've reached 900,000 downloads in over 120 countries so far, I've built a £1,300,000 property portfolio from £0, using £850,000 of private investor finance.
