Samuel Leeds Property Portfolio: In a behind the scenes documentary, I take my students on an exclusive tour of my property portfolio. I show them the wins, the losses, and everything in between! A lot of people have wanted to know what properties I own for a long time, now is your chance to peek behind the curtain!
In the documentary, we see everything: from my very first house I bought at just 17; to my multimillion-pound developments. I speak openly about the mistakes that almost ruined me; my Christian faith that has kept me going through the tough times; and my plans to build a legacy to leave behind.
If you want to see the Samuel Leeds property portfolio for yourself, make sure to watch the full documentary film until the end. You can find the video at the top of this blog post or on my YouTube channel!
Getting to this point hasn’t been easy, and there have been both big wins and big losses. I have learnt lessons from the process of building wealth that could be useful for every property investor. In this article, I will give you 3 lessons from building my property empire. If you understand and internalise them correctly, these lessons will increase your chances of success exponentially.
There has been a lot of scepticism about my property business from a small number of people online. Therefore, it is really important to show the Samuel Leeds property portfolio to as many people as possible. If I have provided value to you as a property educator, please take a moment to share this blog post on your social media pages. I appreciate everyone that does, because it makes a huge difference!
1. Samuel Leeds Property Portfolio: Not Everything Goes To Plan!
I bought Ribbesford House, a beautiful historic English mansion, for £810k with the intention of restoring it and bringing the value up to 7 million pounds. But it didn’t work out that way!
It is a Grade II* listed building, which means there are a lot of restrictions on any restoration work. I spent a lot of money on this property, and it wasn’t looking any different! Profits from my other deals were being dumped into this single property. While I have the money to refurbish it, it has been really hard getting the permission to do so!
The lesson here is that no matter how good a deal looks on paper, the reality can be very different. Make sure you are ready for the worst case as well as the best case.
2. Samuel Leeds Property Portfolio: Sometimes You Need To Fight Back!
I did a development deal with a guy called Trevor Cutmore. I put in all the money, and he put in all the work. For that, we agreed that he would get 30% of the profits. In the final month of development, Trevor tried to up his share to 50%! I said no. He then put tenants in the properties, which brought down their value as they were new builds.
Because he had breached his contract with me, I took him to court. I won in court and got to keep all of the profits from this deal. Trevor ended up bankrupt!
I am always willing to help people and pull them up. But I am not willing to be taken advantage of. In business and in life, you need to be able and willing to fight back!
3. Samuel Leeds Property Portfolio: Focus On Legacy, Not Short-Term Gains!
Once you get to a certain level of wealth, it isn’t about the money any more. It is about impacting the largest amount of people and building a legacy. For me, that means making sure my tenants are looked after. That means spending money to offer the best training possible, rather than looking for short term profits. That also means doing charitable projects in Africa and elsewhere.
If you want to build long-term wealth, you need to add value to as many people as possible. This will make, and keep, you rich and leave you a legacy you can be proud of!
