Mat (38) has been an active property investor since 1993, for the most part whilst holding down a career in the Royal Air Force. At first, due to an overseas posting, he became an “accidental landlord” for a small property in the town of Reading in South East England. When work required him to move, he could not sell the house and was in negative equity so was forced to rent it out. He rented that property and bought more each time the military posted him to a new location.
It started through necessity but it became quickly obvious that this business, which took very little time, was making more money for his growing family than from his Royal Air Force could ever do. Mat was in a position to give up his day job by 2003 but lacked the confidence to make the leap until 2006 when, having accrued a portfolio of over 50 properties, he became a full-time investor and retired from the military. Mat now helps other investors meet their goals, whatever they are, through property. A small team of like-minded investors make up the team “ProVenture” and love meeting new investors and helping where we can.
