Section 3 - Property with Paul Langshaw: Investing with Impact: Supported Housing
In the quest for meaningful investments, supported housing emerges as a sector that promises not only financial returns but also significant social impact. It's an investment that goes beyond profit, directly contributing to the stability and support of individuals in need.
For investors, supported housing is a rare opportunity to engage in a venture that addresses a critical shortage while fulfilling a social mission. The demand for quality supported housing is on the rise, yet the supply remains scarce, creating a prime market for impactful investment.
This investment transcends mere financial gain; it's a pledge towards societal betterment. By providing a solid foundation for the less fortunate, investors play a crucial role in enhancing lives and strengthening communities.
The UK's emphasis on social responsibility within investment strategies is intensifying. Private investment in affordable homes is encouraged by the government, offering a lucrative avenue for investors to make a difference.
With government-backed contracts and income, the complexities of property investment are greatly diminished. Housing associations take on tenant welfare and offer long-term leases, ensuring a reliable revenue stream.
The future of supported housing is promising, marked by growth and potential. It's an investment in stability and community betterment. This is your call to be part of a larger purpose, to invest in a future where everyone has access to a home.

Section 5 - Expert Corner: Advise from Codie Sanchez
I recently read this post on Linkedin from Codie Sanchez and it really resonated
“Underrated way to compound your wins... Do this:
1. Learn acquisitions.
2. Define your deal box.
3. Buy a business that adds value to what you already have.
Have a podcast? Buy a production company.
Own a gym? Buy a fitness clothing brand.
Work for an accounting firm? Buy your own.
You're the top 1% in a certain skillset? Buy a biz you can grow with that skillset.
Want a lifestyle biz? Buy one that cashflows & has an existing operator.”
Is acquisition as easy from to grow?
In my opinion ….. no!
But it can be super effective to change your life
