From Romania to Italy, to the UK 🌍, Yolanda’s global perspective and relentless drive have led her to master rent-to-rent strategies 📝 and build a portfolio of 12 properties, including one she owns outright

🏘️. Get ready for an eye-opening discussion on social housing, creative property strategies, and the mindset needed to achieve financial independence! 🚀

🔍 Summary

Yolanda Morari shares her remarkable story of transitioning from a traditional mindset of avoiding debt 🚫💳 to leveraging rent-to-rent and emergency accommodation strategies to build a thriving property business. Starting with no property knowledge,

Yolanda discovered Samuel Leeds’ £1 crash course 💷, which opened her eyes to the power of property investment. She now controls 12 properties, including 9 for local authorities and 3 for serviced accommodation, generating consistent cash flow

💵. Yolanda specializes in emergency accommodation, a niche within social housing 🏠, where councils pay nightly rates to house vulnerable families. She explains the challenges of low Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates 📉, bureaucratic delays, and the inefficiencies in the UK’s housing system, which often leave families in temporary accommodation for years.

Her journey began with a Help to Buy scheme property purchase in 2017 📜, which she later refinanced to enter the buy-to-let market, capitalizing on a £42,000 gain due to a market dip 📈. The conversation dives into the complexities of social housing, the importance of building relationships with councils 🤝, and why emergency accommodation is a quicker entry point into the sector. Yolanda also shares her vision to create a blueprint to help landlords become commercial suppliers, addressing the UK’s housing crisis by connecting councils with willing property owners 🏘️🔗.

🧠 Main Takeaways
