Mentoring with UrbanShared

Mentoring by UrbanShared
UrbanShared was created by Dan Jackson in November 2016 with a mission to change the shared home market in South West London. We acquired our first deal in February 2017 and by the end of 2017 had acquired a further 8 properties. We now have a portfolio of over 60 units with a monthly rent roll close to £50,000. We are always looking to improve the business and have built a mobile platform for our customers as well as launched a management product exclusively designed for the coliving market.

Why Mentoring with Dan works
Relevant 
I have built a Rent 2 Rent business in the last 18 months  and am still actively building it. I have no intention of stopping either.
Whilst I love mentoring and helping people, I love building this business. Not only is it a profitable business, it's also changing lives and I'm so excited by what the future holds for UrbanShared.

Honest
"If you are so good at building the business, why don't you just concentrate on that?" - I love helping / mentoring people. It's fun and satisfying. I create partnerships through mentoring and yes, I also get paid for doing something that I enjoy and find super fulfilling.

Passionate
I strongly believe that the shared-home market needs some attention. Standards are still poor, housemates don't get the love and attention they deserve. In short, the rental industry, and particularly the multi-let market has been neglected for decades.
I want to change that. And I can't do it on my own!!
