I’m a property investor and educator with experience across a wide range of strategies — always grounded in realism, compliance, and long-term thinking.
My background covers everything from flipping and BRR, to guaranteed rent and social housing models, SSAS and SIPP pension investing, and commercial conversions. I’m particularly interested in structures that create stability, predictable income, and sustainable growth — rather than chasing speed or hype.
What matters to me isn’t just knowing the strategy, but understanding when it’s appropriate, who it’s right for, and how it fits into real life. Property doesn’t exist in a vacuum — health, energy, finances, and capacity all play a role in what works.
If something sits outside my direct experience, I’m honest about that — and I can always steer you towards the right specialists, professionals, or next steps. Knowing when to bring in the right support is just as important as knowing the strategy itself.
Alongside my practical work, I’m also the author of several books focused on clarity, sustainable progress, and building stability through thoughtful decisions. My writing reflects the same approach as my property work: clear, grounded, and designed to be genuinely useful — not overwhelming. I’m also the author of several books, including Bricks, Mortar & MS, Sleep Whispers, and The 7-Day Declutter Reset — all written to support clarity, resilience, and sustainable progress.
Everything I do through Katielyst is about helping people think clearly, plan realistically, and move forward with confidence — at a pace that actually lasts.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions — I believe in helping people make informed choices they can actually live with.
I’m a hands-on property investor with experience across multiple strategies — including flipping, BRR, commercial conversions, and long-term income models. I’ve worked with both traditional and non-traditional approaches, always focusing on risk awareness, compliance, and sustainability rather than hype.
My strength lies in understanding how deals work in the real world — not just on paper — and helping people see the bigger picture before committing time, energy, or money.
Property decisions can feel overwhelming — especially when there’s too much information and not enough context. I help people slow things down, filter the noise, and focus on what actually fits their life, goals, and capacity.
Whether you’re exploring your first move or restructuring an existing plan, clarity is where everything starts — and where costly mistakes are often avoided.
My knowledge spans a wide range of property and wealth-building routes, including guaranteed rent arrangements, supported and social housing models, and pension-led investing through SSAS and SIPP structures.
If something sits outside my direct experience, I’m honest about that — and I’m very good at pointing people toward the right professionals, partners, or next step.
I’m also the author of several books focused on clarity, sustainability, and real-life decision-making — including Bricks, Mortar & MS, Sleep Whispers, and The 7-Day Declutter Reset.
My writing reflects how I work: thoughtful, practical, and grounded in lived experience. I believe good decisions come from understanding yourself just as much as understanding the strategy.
If you have questions, I can guide you further. You don’t need all the answers — you just need the right questions.
If it would help to talk things through, you can reach me by email below — no pressure.
If you’re unsure where to start, this is a gentle place to begin.
I help people think clearly about property and wealth decisions before they commit time, money, or energy. That might be sense-checking a strategy, understanding different routes, or working out what realistically fits their life and capacity.
I don’t push one “right” answer — I help you find your right answer.
I share experience-based insight, education, and clarity — not regulated financial advice. Where something requires specialist input (such as tax, legal, or pension structuring), I’ll always say so and help you understand what to ask and who to speak to.
Clarity first. Decisions second.
My experience spans a range of approaches, including flipping, BRR, commercial conversions, guaranteed rent and social housing models, and pension-led investing through SSAS and SIPP structures.
That said, I don’t believe everyone should do everything. Strategy should fit you, not the other way round.
Yes — and often especially so. Many costly mistakes happen right at the beginning, usually because people rush or follow advice that doesn’t suit them.
If you’re early on, my focus is helping you slow things down, understand the landscape, and avoid learning the hard way
Then this becomes about refinement, alignment, and next steps. Many people reach a point where they’re busy but unclear — or profitable but stretched.
I help people reassess, simplify, and make decisions that are sustainable rather than exhausting.
Absolutely. My work is built around the reality that capacity fluctuates and life isn’t always predictable.
I don’t believe in hustle culture or pressure-led decision-making. Progress that respects your limits is still progress.
No. I’m not here to sell hype, shortcuts, or one-size-fits-all programmes.
My role is to help you think clearly, ask better questions, and make informed choices — whether that leads you forward now or helps you pause with confidence.
There’s no shortage of information — the challenge is knowing what applies to you. I help filter the noise, connect the dots, and put things into context so decisions feel grounded rather than overwhelming.
Sometimes the most valuable outcome is clarity, not action.
Start by exploring the site, reading my work, or joining the email list. There’s no pressure to “do” anything immediately.
If and when it feels right, we can talk about what support — if any — makes sense for you.
Yes. I offer a low-ticket online mentorship option designed for people who want clarity, structure, and guidance — without pressure or big commitments.
It’s ideal if you’re:
exploring property but not ready to invest yet
feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice
wanting to understand which strategies actually suit you
or simply needing a calmer, clearer starting point
There’s no rush and no expectation to “level up.”
It’s there to support thoughtful decisions — at your pace.
If you’re looking for:
practical insight rather than hype
clarity over speed
realistic guidance that fits real life
and support you can dip into when needed
…then it’s likely a good fit.
If you’re looking for guarantees, quick wins, or someone to tell you exactly what to do — it probably isn’t. And that’s okay.
