Please let me introduce myself …
I am the Property Mermaid, everything I do in life, work or play encompasses my two primary passions …. investing in property and scuba diving. I have created a life style that lets me indulge these passions – to travel and scuba dive the world. Discovering and photographing dolphins, sharks, and sea horses with Bob, my best friend, dive buddy and partner of thirteen years. What more could a mermaid want?

My first brushes with property investment came when I was 25. It’s now been six years since I held a ‘proper job’ and I am lucky enough to be able to choose how I spend my time. I am grateful that through my actions I have been able to create this lifestyle – property investment has provided the financial freedom and ongoing passive income that I need.
I always wanted to be Jacques Cousteau (the great underwater explorer, environmentalist and adventurer) and spend my free time scuba diving. Since 2007, I have taken lots of exotic scuba diving holidays – after all a mermaid needs to be in the sea. By 2008 I had turned my attention to full time property sourcing and investment. I am now pleased to say that I own a significant portfolio that enables me to concentrate on growing my sourcing business, along side supporting and mentoring other investors, whilst regularly speaking at property and business events.
What I do
I buy houses any location, any condition. Whether you are a landlord looking to sell your portfolio, or a home owner looking for a quick sale then get in touch – I can help. For three years I have been actively investing in cashflowing properties Using Other People’s Money. My portfolio is cash positive and has built in equity, which is vital in these so-called ‘challenging times’. Through my contacts, networking and determination I have found ways to invest when others have stopped. I am continuing to build my personal portfolio and now help cash rich investors increase the return on their investments by building cashflowing portfolios – let me know if you would like to find out more.
I have also created a number of new business including a sourcing business and a training company; which are due to launch new products in 2013. The training business called The Sourcers Apprentice currently supports people who want to learn how to make money from their property knowledge. Maybe they need direction or support in identifying their strategies or someone to hold them accountable, we can help. If that sounds familiar and either you or someone you know needs help – please get in touch.

Hi Penny
Yes have dealt with leases that offer guarantee rents, and they do offer a great renting situtation for a landlord. Maybe you could email me on vicki@wusche-associates.co.uk and tell me mor. The area of the flat, the rental company, you will need to get a copy of the lease to see what the contract actually says. it might be for three for example and the company will always fill the property – then you could sell. Maybe you can email me and let me know why you want to see and there might be other options – very best wishes and look forward to hearing from you – please send love back to Liz
Hi Vicki,
I have fallen into a curious situation and Liz Sweet thought you had come upon this too and may have some insight.
I have bought a flat, ready tenanted, all fine.
The tenant has now left and I find the new prospective tenant to get the contract for the block of flats, is a company housing the homeless and asylum seekers, (as indeed the previous tenant was, though I did not know this)
I had intended to flip this property on the open market. I think this will not now be possible in the way i expected.
The new contract is not an AST and I am not sure of the implications of this or who to get further information from.
I believe this situation will lend itself to a secure buy to let with reliable rent and maintenance.
Any thoughts on this situation ?
Thankyou
Penny
