There are more millionaires made in times of financial crisis than at any other time and today Rob interviews the impressive Fi Crossley, who secured 26 properties over lockdown, testament to how knowledge, hard work and leverage can bring you success no matter what situation you find yourself in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Fi firstly thanks the great mentorship she has received from Rob and Mark, they have really helped her accelerate her success and given her the tools to accelerate her growth and success in the property world.
  
  
• Fi managed to secure these 26 properties by knowing what she wanted and then going out and getting it! She did loads of viewings, offers and finance. She then found after some time people were coming to her with offers due to her background and reputation.
  
  
• Buying a housing portfolio means you can achieve more in just one acquisition, you don’t have to buy each property one by one.
  
  
• Acquiring these 26 properties was not without its challenges, especially in the first lockdown when Fi was anxious about her family as well as her tenants and was juggling so many different things, it was a very uncertain time for all. Despite this, Fi believes you need to be grateful for what you do have and ask for help, she is very thankful for the support she received, from her family and from her mentors Rob and Mark.
  
  
• Those further ahead in the journey than you can give you valuable advice. Fi knew when she left school that she wanted to be in property, she self-taught her all of the things she needed to get started on the journey to financial freedom. She then got to a point after having her daughter where she knew she wanted to grow and wanted to do it faster and more effectively. She needed some advice and support to take the next step and this is where Progressive Property came in.
  
  
• Fi and her sisters work together in property, they are sisters, best friends and business partners. Fi taught her sister how to become financially free like her and they make an incredible team.
