Welcome to another Winners on a Wednesday! Every week I bring you inspiring property success stories from my students, and today’s guest is a big one. Meet Damien Cheeseman – a millionaire property investor, Academy student, and one of my top mentees and (now) mentors.
Damien started out as a builder with a construction company in the East Midlands. After attending my Property Investors Crash Course, he went all in – and in just two years, he’s built a property empire worth £38 million in serviced accommodation, lease options, BRRs, and rent-to-rent deals.
In this exclusive behind-the-scenes tour, we visit his stunning SA property – with unique features designed by the Duchess of Rutland herself – and hear how Damien:
→ Systemised his business
→ Scaled fast with multiple strategies
→ Manages a multi-million pound property portfolio
→ Gives back to the community through charity work
This is not just about money – it’s about freedom, impact, and creating a legacy.
