The HMO Podcast How Craig Fisher Built a £250k-a-Year HMO Portfolio on the Side While Running a Multi-Million Pound Business
In today’s episode, I sit down with Craig Fisher, the founder of CF Commercial, HausProud Living, and co-founder of Yvonne Ellen, to unpack how he’s built a £250k-per-year HMO portfolio while running several multi-million-pound businesses.
Craig joined my mentorship programme in June 2023, and together we’ve focused on building a simple, repeatable model that works. In this conversation, I pull back the curtain on the exact deal criteria, refurb standards, KPIs, and risk controls Craig uses to make sure his portfolio performs, even when he isn’t there.
If you’re busy, ambitious, and want to build a property business that runs on systems rather than heroics, this is one you don’t want to miss.
