Welcome to Spare Room Savvy! ✨ I’m Paula, the heart and mind behind this platform. With nearly two decades of experience in property management, I’ve walked the walk as the hands-on landlord, the sourcer for other landlords, the management agency owner, and now I'm living overseas, the overseas property investor!
After building my own property portfolio and achieving financial freedom within three years, I know firsthand the challenges, (and the rewards👌), that come with renting shared houses and HMOs. My mission? To share that knowledge with you and help you transform your properties into profitable, happy homes that tenants love, whilst your income grows.
Because successful shared housing isn’t just about filling rooms; it’s about creating communities. I believe that the right knowledge is power, but also know that communication, respect, and thoughtful systems are the foundation of great landlord-tenant relationships. That’s why I developed the Spare Room Savvy Toolkit, a step-by-step guide designed to simplify tenant-finding, streamline onboarding, and help you avoid the dreaded void periods.
Whether you’re a seasoned landlord, a new investor, or someone renting out a room in your own home, my goal using my experience, is to equip you with the strategies, templates, checklists and insights you need to create ‘Rooms That Rent Themselves’. Through proven techniques, customizable tools, and clear communication methods, you can enjoy a profitable property business while nurturing spaces your tenants will respect and love.
If you want to take the stress out of shared housing and ‘Avoid the Voids’ You need to get savvy! ✨
