The Progressive Property Podcast Carole Neales Social Housing Specialist With a Portfolio of Over 240 Units
Kevin is joined by Carole Neales in this episode to talk about the 240 units she has built in just 6 years. Carole came to Progressive in 2015 and started her journey properly in 2017 and talks to Kev about how Progressive helped her and what she has learnt since attending Progressive Property courses. Carole also talks in-depth about her unique property portfolio in social housing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Carole works with charities and supports many people through her property portfolio as the units she manages are social housing.
- Working in the hotel business as well as events means that Carole had always worked in customer-facing roles, she likes people and her favourite thing is talking!
- After seeing vulnerable children and having empathy for those struggling financially, Carole wanted to do something she could help society whilst also making good investments.
- Most landlords aren’t bad people, they want to help people.
- Bad tenants come from all walks of life. Carole doesn’t believe she has had any more issues with damage and rent arrears with her social tenants than private landlords would get.
