Here to help you succeed

At Samuel Leeds, we believe financial freedom is not just a dream but an achievable reality. Established in 2014 by Samuel, our mission is to empower individuals to transform their lives through property investment. Our practical, hands-on training programs are designed to help you build a brighter future and achieve financial independence…in just 12 months or less.

Founder

Samuel Leeds started his property journey in 2008 with nothing. Within three years, he was financially free and had built up a million-pound property portfolio by the age of twenty-one. Post financial freedom, Samuel has travelled the world, set up many charitable projects in Africa, and written two #1 Amazon Best Selling Books.

In November 2014, Samuel ran the first-ever Property Investors Crash Course, which is now considered to be the best property course in the world.

CEO

Russell Leeds is a highly successful businessman and property developer. He has appeared on BBC news as well as being featured in several newspapers, including when he purchased the historic 16th-century mansion, Ribbesford House, adding it to his ever-growing property portfolio.

Russell is CEO of the company, but is also an excellent communicator and personally runs some of the training himself.

Samuel's Management Team

Sales Manager

I’ve built my career across sales, operations, marketing, events and customer service, which has given me a broad perspective on how to grow and develop successful businesses. I’m passionate about leading teams, raising standards and helping people unlock their full potential. Coaching and training have always been at the heart of what I do, whether in business or through sport in my personal life and I value the opportunity to use that experience to support others on their property investment journey.

Head of Marketing

Over my 20 years of experience, I’ve led initiatives that delivered significant revenue growth, from creating a customer engagement platform to expanding international territories and doubling subscription bases. I also co-founded and scaled a business to 300 employees and a multi-million-pound turnover, leveraging innovative marketing campaigns and customer journey improvements. This background in scaling businesses and creating impactful digital campaigns aligns perfectly with Samuel’s mission to reach wider audiences, grow his community, and maximise the impact of the Samuel Leeds brand.

Samuel's Success Coaches

Success Coach

Hi I’m Ana,  a proud mum, award-winning property entrepreneur and one of Samuels Training Advisors. In just 3 years, I’ve grown from managing service accommodation to sourcing property deals, building a thriving portfolio and now leading a development of 18 affordable homes in Scotland for a local council. I love passing that knowledge I’ve gained since being in the Academy and becoming a Training Advisor to the next generation of property entrepreneurs.

Success Coach

Hi, my name is Chris and I’m a Training Advisor. For the best part of the last decade I have worked very closely with Samuel, attending every one of his Academy events with him, touring the country and travelling the world to build schools and hospitals together. They say ‘who you hang around with is who you become’ and luckily for me that has been with Samuel, this has allowed me to implement strategies like rent-to-rent, deal sourcing, serviced accommodation, lease options, BRR and Development and I now call Samuel a true friend. My passion in life from a young age has always been to help others, and now, having both the time and finances to do this is what continues to drive me forward.

Success Coach

Hi I’m Elliot, a property investor and entrepreneur who has sold over £10 million worth of real estate since 2017. I specialise in high-yield strategies such as Rent-to-Serviced Accommodation and BRR-to-SA, also building a profitable, scalable portfolio delivering quality short-term accommodation. I grew up alongside Samuel and now work as a Training Advisor within Samuel’s organisation, where I support and mentor aspiring investors with my hands-on experience, proven results and a clear, practical approach. 

Success Coach

Hi I'm Ibby, my journey started in retail but with two kids and untapped potential, I pushed myself into property…beginning with Rent-to-Rent and Deal Sourcing, then scaling into larger projects and a now six-figure business. Today I split my time between my children, my ventures and serving as a Training Advisor with Samuel Leeds, mentoring people who know they’re made for more and guiding them to change their lives through property.

Success Coach

I'm Jamie Mcveigh, I head up Sales in the Deal Connect department, which is our Deal Sourcing platform where I work closely with clients and partners to create property opportunities. I also have my own rent-to-rent business with a combination of Serviced Accommodation and HMO Properties. As a Training Advisor for Samuel I help people with their training enquiries and guide them in the right direction for their own property journey. 

Success Coach

Hi I’m Leah, I began my property journey at 22 while working as Samuel Leeds’ personal assistant and have since built a diverse portfolio across Rent-to-Rent, Lease Options, and Buy, Refurbish, Refinance (BRR) projects. I’m now focused on scaling my Serviced Accommodation units, combining strong systems with creative deal structuring to maximise returns. As a Training Advisor for Samuel Leeds, I draw on my real-life experience to guide aspiring investors helping those serious about succeeding in property.

Success Coach

Hi I'm Scott. In 2019, I joined Samuel Leeds’ Academy with no money, no experience, and just a burning desire to change my life. Through persistence and creative strategies like lease options and BRRR, I’ve gone on to acquire 23 properties. In 2024, I was humbled to be named Property Investor of the Year…proof that with belief and action, anything is possible and I love passing on my knowledge as one of Samuel's Training Advisors.

Success Coach

Hi, I’m Tony Crook, a native Californian entrepreneur, property investor, and business coach & property mentor. I’m self-made after building an £8m business that generated over £100m in revenue, I then shifted my focus to property, creating a diverse portfolio from single lets to hotels. Now with well over 8,000+ hours of mentoring in the Academy, I continue to help students achieve financial freedom and also lead the Samuel Leeds Foundation, spreading financial literacy worldwide.

Success Coach

Hi, my name is Tyrone, and I’m a Training Advisor. I’ve been in the property industry for three years after leaving my construction job to go full-time in property within just six months of joining the academy. Since then, I’ve gained hands-on experience with strategies like rent-to-rent, deal sourcing, serviced accommodation, lease options, and BRR. The academy gave me the confidence to scale my business and the freedom to spend more time with my kids, which has been life changing. Now, as a Training Advisor, I’m passionate about giving back and helping others take their first steps into property.

Your Mentor Team

Mentor

I'm Egor I grew up in a small Siberian town and chased bigger horizons through architecture, where I worked on world-class projects for luxury branded residences for Fendi, Loro Piana, Bentley, and Dolce & Gabbana. Those experiences sharpened my eye for design, functionality and commercial value. I then shifted from architect to investor, executing BRR2SA deals and using creativity and clear numbers to unlock hidden potential. That momentum led me to acquire a hotel and expand into hospitality. Today my portfolio generates over £30,000 per month and I’m focused on scaling sustainably without compromising standards. As an Academy Mentor, I share not just strategies and figures but my journey from Siberia to global projects and from employee to investor to help others spot opportunities where most see obstacles.

I’m Jer, a proud Cornishman inspired by my grandfather, who built homes in Cornwall in the 1970s. After a trial-and-error start in the 1990s, everything changed in 2018 when I discovered Samuels Buy Low, Rent High and joined the Academy…bringing nearly 50 years of teaching experience and £30,000 of bad debt. Since then, supported by the Academy, I've sold over £10m of investment property, built a portfolio of single lets, HMOs, and serviced accommodation across Cornwall and North East Lincolnshire, and grown a rent roll exceeding £25,000 per month. I'm now a property millionaire owning, controlling, and managing over £8m in assets. The Academy reignited my passion for teaching and I love mentoring members on how to avoid my mistakes, unlock their potential and achieve success.

Mentor

Hi I'm Simon, I have over a decade of experience in the property industry and a multimillion-pound portfolio spanning HMOs, serviced accommodation, and multi-lets. I specialise in commercial-to-residential developments, including converting a 5,500 sq ft nightclub into four residential dwellings. Alongside this, I co-own a successful estate agency in Weymouth covering sales and lettings, and I also manage a thriving beachfront hotel. Friends and family often describe me as a property addict.

Mentor

Hi I’m Steve, I’ve spent nearly 20 years in property and business, becoming a property millionaire in 2020. My portfolio focuses on single lets, social housing, and HMOs, with BRR my favourite strategy and I now prioritise keeping everything as passive as possible to enjoy family time. I previously owned a mortgage and commercial finance brokerage, funding deals from £60k BTLs to multimillion-pound projects (including Samuel’s). Having started pre-2008, I champion adaptability, love supporting students in Samuel’s Academy, and believe health, positivity and continual learning drive success.
