One things we’re passionate about (you might have already realised this by now) is getting our hands dirty with our own projects to practice what we preach and keep our own knowledge up to date. Sharing both the ups and the downs of these projects means that you can learn from what has gone well, avoid what goes wrong, and take inspiration and ideas from our strategies, interior designs, and business model.

Day 2 of #7daysofproperty ✨Favourite Project ✨ M & I have different opinions when it comes to our favourite project, for me it’s always the most recent one as I think our standard (and interior design) is always improving. For M, who takes a slightly more business minded approach, it would be this: #ipichurchgate. This was our first foray into commercial conversions. It paved the way for us to move onto larger and more interesting projects. Purchase Price - £210,000
Renovations & other costs - £150,000 Return on Investment - 120% What this means from a practical point of view is that all of the cash we left in after refinancing was paid back within the 1st year and it now generates us a healthy monthly profit. #property #propertyinvestor #propertyinvestment #propertyinvesting #propertydeveloper #propertydevelopment #propertymarket #ukpropertymarket #buytolet #buytosell #landlord #propertymanagement #propertybusiness #propertypodcast #propertycouple #hgtvuk #propertyladder #propertybrothers #homesunderthehammer #stockport #hmo #houseofmultipleoccupancy #coliving #spareroom

Day 1️⃣ of #7daysofproperty which we are running for the FIFTH time now! Today’s theme is Introduce yourself, so Hi 👋 We are Victoria, Mike, Douglas and Blue Stenhouse. We live on our Sailing Catamaran; SV Havanesey Day (named after the breed of our dogs whom are Havanese) full time, sailing the world whilst running our property business remotely. We’ve been together for 9 years now after meeting in the corporate world and we’ve been working on our property business for 8.5 of those 9 years, renovating a property together within months of becoming a couple. We’re still very active in running our business but are fortunate to be in a position where we can do this remotely (how d’ya like me now Steve?!)... We have big plans to keep growing the portfolio and the business over the next few years, as well as hosting our podcast and helping other investors succeed in the industry as well! We love being part of this amazing community and can’t wait to meet more of you over the next 7 days! Feel free ask us a question below if you’ve got one! ☺️ #7daysofproperty #property #propertycouple #digitalnomads #nauticalnomads #propertyinvestor #propertyinvestors #hgtvuk #propertyladder #couplepreneur #entreprenuer #entreprenuerlifestyle #girlboss #womeninbiz #workfromanywhere #locationfree #laptoplifestyle #remoteworking #workfromhome #liveaboards #liveaboardlife #travelnomads #sailingcouple #catamaran #buytolet #landlord #ukpropertymarket #stockport #lifestylebydesign #iamasweatybetty

I spent the morning at #ipicross measuring for blinds and furniture. It’s the first time I’ve been on site since early June and it’s looking so good! I filmed a full tour which I’ve popped on stories, but I’ve also saved it to the #ipicross highlight in case you’re reading this more than 24 hours later. Here’s a couple of snaps of some of the bedrooms.... I’m so pleased with how this panelling has turned out. Just wait until you see the furniture we’ve got planned! 😍 #sale #m33 #saletown #hmo #houseofmultipleoccupancy #coliving #spareroom #bedroompanelling #bedroominspo #instabedroom #bedroomdecor #bedroomrenovation #renovation #capietra #propergoodpaint #panelling #property #propertycouple #propertyinvestor #propertyinvestment #propertyinvestinguk #propertymarket #ukpropertymarket #propertypodcast #propertycouple #hgtvuk #buytolet #landlord #propertydeveloper #propertydevelopment

Strip out complete at #ipixsjm and first fix electrics have started! I’ve also had to make all the design decisions this week (which is normally a fairly organic process for me as the project progresses) but because we want to flip this we are going to have some CGIs created to get it on the market ASAP and I want those images to be as accurate as possible. I’m keeping it fairly neutral (no pink bathroom or jungle wallpaper here) as obviously we want to appeal to as many people as possible, but don’t worry, there won’t be a magnolia wall in sight! #canweflipit #property #fliporflop #hgtvuk #propertyinvestor #propertyinvestment #propertyinvesting #propertybusiness #propertypodcast #propertymarket #ukpropertymarket #ukproperty #landlord #buytosell #buytolet #propertymanagement #renovation #properyladder #propertyforsale #stockport #heatonchapel #fourheatons

Ok guys and girls, as requested we’ve decided to

Ok guys and girls, as requested we’ve decided to host our #7daysofproperty challenge again (for the 5th time!!!!) but this time it’s got a bit of a twist and in addition to providing a theme each day we are also going set you a number of challenges throughout the week. 🙌 We always get questions about how we have grown our audience and how you can use Instagram for business, and whilst we don’t claim to be experts, we are happy to share what has worked for us. We will be providing a list of seven daily themes as usual but this time we'll also be providing a list of seven challenges for you to work through during the week. As always, it’s open for anyone to take part and you don’t need to post every single day, but remember that the more you put in the more you will get out of it. The challenges are totally optional as well - they don't need to be done in any particular order, but are designed to help you get the most out of your posts. Make sure you use the #7daysofproperty hashtag on each of your posts so that others taking part can find you, and make sure you are following the hashtag too. Mike & I will be sharing an IGTV in the next couple of days talking through the different challenges and how they can help you utilise Instagram for your business growth, plus we will jump on stories everyday throughout the challenge and give some additional hints and tips. We are going to kick things off next Saturday so you’ve got a week to start brainstorming your content! I’m excited to see your posts! Drop me an emoji below if you are going to take part! 🙋🏻‍♀️ #instagramchallenge #growth #property #propertyinvestment #propertyinvestors #propertyinvestinguk #propertyinvesting #propertydevelopment #propertydeveloper #propertydeveloping #propertybusiness #propertynews #propertycouple #propertypodcast #propertymanagement #propertymarket #landlord #buytolet #entrepreneur #ukpropertymarket #hgtvuk #propertyladder #renovation

So.... It still needs a clean and properly staging

So.... It still needs a clean and properly staging, and professional photos vs this iPhone snap, but you know we aren’t ones for big reveals and prefer to share progress as it happens. So yeah, here’s Apartment One at #ipibrewery looking swish. We’ve still got one more Ikea delivery and a Dunelm order (which they have handily split into SEVEN different deliveries) and then we are cooking on gas. Teeny tiny issue of lockdown also holding us back, but meh. We are confident these SA apartments will do well in the long term and we are excited to bring them to market. plus, in the meantime, it gives us somewhere to live so that’s handy. #airbnb #airbnbuk #staycation #servicedapartment #holidaylet #loftapartment #instakitchen #kitchendesign #kitchendecor #kitchensofinstagram #kitchendecor #kitcheninspo #smallspaceliving #tinyhome #microapartment #smallkitchendesign #property #landlord #buytolet #ukpropertymarket #propertycouple #propertypodcast #propertyinvestor #propertyinvestment #propertyinvestinguk #propertybusiness #propertyladder #stockport #stockportunderbank

Another day another SNAZZY AF bathroom. If I do say so myself. We finally got the mirrors up (apologies they still need a clean, they literally just went up) and they finish this room off perfectly. The inspiration for this entire room actually came from @concretecarrot whom made the beautiful concrete sink pictured. I was browsing their website looking at different designs and saw a pink sink they had done for a previous customer paired with navy tiles and just loved the combination. Sink: @concretecarrot
Tiles: @ca_pietra_
