As a pro football player, you’ve got all the perks of the job – a great income, a luxury lifestyle and the freedom to travel and do whatever you want…not to mention the glory of the game.
However, unlike most people, you don’t retire at 65. Instead, you’ve got 8-10 years at BEST before you’re done with football.
Without a solid plan in place to help you manage your wealth, you can easily fall into debt and financial distress.
Worse, unless you can figure out how to make your money work for you, you may have to downgrade your home and lifestyle and settle for a job you hate just to make ends meet.
Securing your financial future shouldn’t be so hard!
The good news is property investing is one of the best ways to secure your future and ensure you retire a millionaire.
It’s the perfect ‘invisible’ income stream that lets you build wealth for your future while protecting you and your family from financial distress.

Finding the perfect career after playing the field as a professional footballer can be really challenging and confusing.
When I retired at the age of 27 due to a knee injury, I didn’t have any additional skills I could fall back on.
My biggest worry was that I’d end up in a dead-end job, struggling to make ends meet and worse, having to downgrade my lifestyle substantially.
Sadly, it’s an all-too-common problem among football players who often end up in financial ruin and endless personal problems if they don’t have a career path they can confidently get into.
Property investing is one of the best ways to secure your income without having to sacrifice your lifestyle or end up in a job you hate.
Even better, with our complete, done-for-you service, you can focus on levelling up your game while we handle everything from start to finish.
As you know, it’s hard to win when you’re not playing as a team.
That’s why I’ve teamed up with Jay Puddy, a property investor with over 23 years of experience in the Manchester property market.
Jay brings his extensive knowledge, expertise, and a reliable team of contractors, legal professionals, surveyors, and brokers who have been tried and tested over many years.
Together with his wife, Charlotte Puddy, they also bring their 5-star rated letting agency, Abode Property Management, into the fold, ensuring your assets are successfully managed for the long term.
Jay has walked the path we aim to guide you on. He’s built a multi-million-pound property portfolio in Manchester and is now enjoying the lifestyle benefits that property investment can offer.

On a mission to help this generation of sports athletes be the most financially secure in history.
This video is a tiny snipped into some of history and the reason behind starting our business.
My career was full of disappointments and pain. Not enough highs to make me look back with much fondness. But what I do remember clearly, is how I was thrown to the side once I was forced to retire.
Until you’ve experienced it, it’s a hard thing to describe. To lose your identity, passion, lifelong goals, pain free living and then your support system. It’s a tough one to take.
I didn’t even get an insurance pay out for being forced to stop playing at the age of 27. The system royally screwed me.
Well, I’m not one to quit. So for the last 7.5 years I’ve been building this business alongside rebuilding my life to help other sports athletes not go through the same experience I did. We’ve done some real good, but I believe we can do so much more.
If you want to watch our business as we continue build financial independence for ourselves and our footballers, then give us a follow.

More players stacking assets! 🏘️
Perry has had an amazing promotion year on the pitch. While he’s been off collecting his medals and accolades, I’ve been working to help him build his portfolio for life after the game.
This project is nearly complete and soon I will share the finished photos, as we have been able to add massive value with a quality refurb and some keen upfront negotiating skills.

A 20 year old footballer at a top Premiership club has asked me to build his property portfolio, all whilst he’s still playing.
He wanted to invest into the best market in the uk (MCR of course!) but he didn’t have the time, experience or contacts to achieve his long term plan. We were introduced by a mutual friend and now he is leveraging our teams and track record to reach his investment goals.
This is his first investment property. He already has a second on the way and I’m excited to see what we can build for him over the coming years.
I’ll share the finished product in the coming weeks as we have upgraded the house to add value and achieve the best rent possible 🤝

Project No.179 = £75,000 profit.
Have you ever bought a house that’s been flooded before?
This recent trade was a bit different to the norm. It came with some big risks as it was located in a high risk flooding zone and had a recent insurance claim for surface water flooding.
Very few would take this on successfully.
We used our experience to successfully navigate the purchase, the legal challenges and then lightly upgrading the house to make sure it was as attractive for a prospective buyer as we could…and we achieved a great result!
£75,000 of profit. Only owned for 4 months in total. Not bad!
We don’t get too carried away. These funds go straight into our next projects as we get a number of other flips finished this month, ready to hit the market.
Just keep compounding intelligent efforts and decisions day after day, as a team.
We go again.

Another footballer’s growing portfolio…this time it’s one of Chris Mepham’s.
Following the key fundamentals to building a quality, bullet-proof portfolio for life after the game…Chris bought this rundown house in a great South Manchester postcode.
We secured it at a great price and delivered the whole project for him. Remember, location is key for your long term returns. The vast majority of the money you earn in property investment will be from your capital growth. Never lose sight of this.
Cashflow may get you out of a job. But capital growth can earn you life changing amounts.
By following our strategy and buying in the South Manchester market. Chris has experienced amazing growth in this asset and it’s only one of his property portfolio. He can now let time do the heavy lifting to continue to lower his LTV, increase his income and let the leverage make his money work hard for him.
Stack assets. In quality areas. Intelligently asset manage them. Hold for the long term. That’s the playbook. 📈

Another South Manchester flip project on the go.
The team is cracking on and we have already solved the structural issues which put off previous buyers. We leveraged our track record and relationships to acquire this one another £30,000 under an already reduced asking price.
Now it’s down to significant investment, effort and teamwork to deliver on this project and create a desirable family home…plus some healthy profit! I’ll share with you the transformation every step of the way.

Footballers are stacking quality assets in Greater Manchester. The best market in the uk 🫡
This one is for Dan Neil, who managed to enjoy a second successive Premier League promotion this year…in the background, we’re helping him build for life after the game.
Bought this tired building when a sale broke down. We agreed a discount and secured it quickly.
Now we’ve added value with a solid renovation. Time to get it tenanted and let capital growth over time, work its magic ✨📈
