Ritchie Clapson has been involved in property development for over 35 years, and as co-founder of propertyCEO, he coaches both novice and experienced property developers how to create substantial returns from small-to-medium scale developments. Ritchie’s development pedigree speaks for itself. A structural engineer by profession, he’s not only worked on hundreds of new-build, commercial and industrial conversion projects, he’s also trained and mentored countless developers and property professionals during his long career in the industry. A business coach and strategist, he built up one of the country’s leading structural engineering firms and was appointed by the government as peer review engineer for the London 2012 Olympic Stadium.

Today Ritchie and his business partner Ian Child head up propertyCEO, one of the country’s most exclusive property development training companies.

HMO Trainer & Coach, Matt Baker joins us on The Gift of Wealth podcast to speak on how he has created wealth through HMO and co-living property investing. We also discuss how his parent's relationship with money changed his mindset towards money and his journey to where he is today, starting from a self-employed musician. 

Matt is the founder of Scott Baker Properties, a property investing & development company based in Brighton, that have built up a sizeable, high-yielding, property portfolio that specialises in HMO's & Co-living spaces. They also guide landlords who are stuck in their property journey, or who want to grow or improve their existing portfolios.

Susannah is one of the UK’s most successful self made property investors. Starting her first business at the age of 22 she knew she had an entrepreneurial spirit which could not be constrained by a J.O.B (Just over broke). Breaking out of the corporate lifestyle she followed her dreams and took the risk to set up the Good Property Company which she has now been running for over ten years.

With determination and the right knowledge, Susannah believes anyone can make millions from property. It is possible to succeed even with very little money starting out. It only took Susannah 3 ½ years to become a property millionaire, and in her first 3 months as a deal packager, she made £12k as a kitchen table start up with a phone, a kettle and computer. Susannah went on to source, buy or let out more than 200 properties with a value of £45million and an agreed purchase price of £30million (before refurb). She then invested her capital to develop her multi million-pound property portfolio consisting of HMO’s, single lets and serviced accommodation.

Susannah has made a huge impact within the property community and her success has been fun to watch and life changing for her and her family. She has been featured in well-known property magazines such as Property Investor News and Your Property Network and has provided advice on podcasts across the globe such as Property Hub, Inside Property Investing and Tej Talks.

Susannah's passion for property is infectious and she loves to give back and share her knowledge. Her top priority is to help people reach their potential as a property investor and achieve (and hopefully surpass) her own successes! Whilst she is currently taking a sabbatical from her mentoring programme she has created a large range of educational materials which fit all budgets and are available to download on her website: www.thegoodpropertycompany.co.uk
