Jumping into property at 50 years old, meet Joe Crosbie (Developer & Investor)

In this episode of the Property Business Accelerator, Mike Frisby chats with his long-term mentee, Joe Crosbie. First of all, you ALL need to know Joe! He's awesome, has heaps of property knowledge and offers his time so freely to help and encourage other investors and this help for others most likely comes from his corporate career where he headed up a few charities. At the tender age of 50 years old, Joe had a rather scary awakening as many of us do, where he realised that he needed to significantly boost his pension and made the move from full-time employment over to property development. Going through the motions, Joe realised that property was two fold: Property Development = A cash pot for pension Property Investment = Income for now, Joe's new 'day job' Fast forward a few years to the end of 2018, Mike & Joe first met when Joe and his lovely wife, Karen, signed up to Mike's HMO Property Business Accelerator 12 month programme & they have been working together every since.    In this episode we hear more about Joe's property journey, his best deal (a flip) and his worst deal which is actually his current deal, they chat about planning and issues that arise with property conversions and how to overcome obstacles. Joe is also using his charity background and branching out into social housing, many people know that Mike is a social housing expert and he has been supporting Joe through this journey & they speak more about social housing as a property strategy. From this, in 2021, Joe has launched 'The Ethical Landlord' where he helps people share their good fortune and build a property portfolio providing homes for people who would otherwise be homeless. Joe also has a plan for the next year to have 28 properties & 56 tenants in his portfolio, this is investing and entrepreneurial behaviour at it's best.
