In this episode, we sit down with Tomas Robertson, a seasoned property investor who started his journey at the age of 25. Over nearly a decade, Tomas successfully flipped properties, strategically adding value and selling to avoid capital gains tax. When the short-term rental market caught his attention, Tomas ventured into Airbnb, where he achieved remarkable success—exceeding income estimates and thriving even during the pandemic.

Key Takeaways:

• Starting in Property: Tomas began investing in property at 25, using a strategy that allowed him to grow his earnings by flipping properties every two years.
• Airbnb Success: Tomas transitioned into the short-term rental market, where he managed to exceed income expectations through hands-on management.
• Scaling the Business: With four properties under his belt, Tomas was able to semi-retire and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
• Personal and Business Growth: Life changes led Tomas to rethink his business strategy, balancing personal fulfillment with financial goals.
• New Ventures: In response to upcoming regulations, Tomas has diversified his portfolio by launching a luxury glamping site, aiming to provide a unique and high-end experience in Portpatrick.
• Navigating Regulations: The episode also discusses the impact of new short-term rental licensing regulations in Glasgow and how Tomas is adapting to these changes.
