From Football Fields to Property Deals: Danny O'Brien's Journey In To Serviced Accommodation Success
Danny O'Brien of BD Short Stays joins me to reflect with us on the transformative period during COVID-19 that became Danny's pivot point from the football field to financial freedom through property investment.
With a background in corporate sales, Danny brings unique insights into managing buy-to-lets and service accommodations, and even shares how his property ventures funded his walk down the aisle.
The world of property management can be as challenging as it is rewarding, and in this episode, we peel back the curtain on the intricate dynamics of service accommodations. I recount an eye-opening personal experience that taught me the hard lesson of never being complacent with letting agents.
We dive into the nitty-gritty of hands-on asset management and how a strategic shift to service accommodation can lead to better control and opportunities to not just grow a business, but also to make a tangible impact on the community.
Let's talk about finding purpose in the bricks and mortar of the property world. My own transition from professional athlete to property investor has led to a meaningful venture that goes beyond just offering stellar accommodation—it's about nurturing the young and the restless. Hear how the 'three P's' philosophy—property, people, profit—shapes our business ethos and drives us to foster community development.
Danny and I share personal advice, from aspirational dinner guests to empowering book recommendations, culminating in an episode that's as much about building successful service accommodations as it is about building a legacy.
