In celebration of Armed Forces Day, we extend our support to members of the Armed Forces community. For anyone stuck in a career that doesn’t spark joy, remember that a brighter, prosperous future could be yours. Among our top instructors are two Armed Forces veterans, Kevin Poneskis and Dan Eaton. Both transitioned from their military careers into lucrative property investing through Progressive’s property education.
Transitioning from Military Life to Property Investment
The Story of Kevin Poneskis
Former Regimental Sergeant Major Kevin Poneskis had an intense military career, including service during the Balkans conflicts and in Afghanistan, while also being a single father footing hefty boarding school bills. His initial foray into property didn’t go well, due to a lack of proper guidance, despite his father’s advice to invest in real estate.
However, after discovering Property Investment education, Kevin joined Progressive Property in 2013 and later started teaching there. He champions property investing as challenging yet rewarding work. Kevin managed to break free from the military on 11/11/11 and became a full-time property investor with a portfolio of 60 properties generating a monthly income of £30K-50K through Serviced Accommodation, a strategy akin to running a hotel but with residential properties and the potential to greatly increase profits.
Serviced Accommodation has become a lucrative strategy, especially with the recent increase in staycations. Today, astute investors are capitalizing on this trend.
Dan Eaton’s Tale
Like Kevin, Dan Eaton served in the Navy, but his assignments kept him away from his children, clashing with his family goals. After a stint in the corporate world, Dan found himself in a similar predicament, leading him to seek alternatives. An invitation to a Progressive Property event opened his eyes to the parallels between his corporate skills and property investment.
Dan learned that he didn’t have to be an expert to start with Commercial Conversions, he just needed to grasp the system. Now, he’s taking on lucrative projects much more profitable than traditional buy-to-lets.
Contemplating a Career Switch to Property Investing?
Commercial property conversions are trending strategies in the property market, especially now in 2023, as the impact of COVID has left many commercial spaces vacant. These can be transformed into profitable residential properties. Kevin and Dan are specialists in Serviced Accommodation and Commercial Conversions, both of which are proving very profitable right now.
They believe that anyone, whether from the Armed Forces or simply unsatisfied with their current job, can find success and improve their future with property investing. Countless individuals have already achieved financial independence through real estate investments.
