We ALL have the ability to make more money, making money CAN be easy ..... but only when we have changed our beliefs around money and the challenges our beliefs have bought us. This page ISN'T about selling other people's products or selling your unwanted things on Ebay. It's about teaching YOU how to change your deeply held beliefs around money (that normally come from our childhood) and helping you change them so you develop more confidence, self-belief and self-worth which is the foundation of being able to make more money.

The end of fixed term assured shorthold tenancies, tighter controls around rent increases and advance rent, and higher expectations around property standards all change the landscape slightly. Not necessarily for the worse, but certainly in ways that need to be planned for.

What I am seeing more of is landlords quietly exploring alternatives. Supported living is one area that keeps coming up in conversations, especially because the compliance framework is clearer, leases tend to be longer, and income is more predictable.

For many, it feels like a calmer and more structured environment than the increasingly complex private rental market.

It's a slower process upfront than a traditional BTL but the payoff is an almost completely passive investment once leases are signed.

If you would like to talk through how the new rules affect your own property, or explore whether alternative strategies might suit you better, feel free to reach out

Why smaller supported living homes are better for Supported Living, Children's Homes and Care Leavers

There is a misconception that bigger schemes are safer.

In reality, smaller supported living homes are often more adaptable. They meet changing commissioning needs more easily and are less exposed to policy shifts.

They create proper family home environments for the people with support needs who will live there
They also retain wider resale appeal if strategies ever change.

There has been a major shift in both specialist supported living and childrens/care leavers homes in the past couple of years.

Commissioners are moving away from large shared houses to either bungalows or small blocks of self contained flats of a good size or much smaller shared houses with less than 4 people sharing.

For investors, this creates great opportunity. The types of properties commissioners and providers want is much more available and less expensive than huge houses or buildings housing up to 30 people!

This flexibility protects exit options and long-term value.

Most people know Think and Grow Rich. It’s the book Napoleon Hill is famous for. Practical, motivational, optimistic. A guide to success that has influenced millions.

Far fewer people know about Outwitting the Devil. And the more I reflect on it, the more fascinating I find it.

Hill wrote this book in 1938, but it was not published until 2011. His family believed it was simply too provocative for its time. That alone should make anyone curious.

The book is written as a dialogue between Hill and “the Devil”, and at first glance that can feel uncomfortable or even odd. But I don’t see this as literal or religious. I see it as a literary device. A very clever one.

By creating a conversation with “the Devil”, Hill gave himself permission to say things that would have been socially risky, controversial and deeply uncomfortable in the 1930s. Ideas about fear, conformity, distraction, lack of independent thought and what he calls “drifting”. Concepts that quietly challenge authority, systems and social norms.

What’s striking is how relevant it still feels.

If Think and Grow Rich is about how to succeed, Outwitting the Devil is about why so many people don’t, even when they know exactly what to do. It explores the inner barriers that stop people applying the principles Hill later became famous for. Fear of criticism. Comfort. Routine. The safety of fitting in.

Some people have suggested Hill must have been unstable to write it this way. I don’t agree. To me, it feels like an early exploration of what we would now call mindset, psychology and behavioural patterns. Externalising the inner voice that holds us back, so it can be examined honestly.

Perhaps it was ahead of its time. Perhaps that’s why it stayed hidden for so long.

If you loved Think and Grow Rich and have ever wondered why knowledge doesn’t always translate into action, this book fills in the missing piece. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t hype. It quietly asks you to look at how you think, how you choose and whether you are living deliberately or drifting.

It’s not an easy read, but it is a compelling one.

Have you read it, or is it one you have always been curious about?

One of the hardest lessons I have learned over the years is that moving people quickly does not mean moving them Why stability matters to investors.

And ne of the biggest lessons I have learned from years around supported living is that instability is expensive.

My own daughter's experience is evidence of this. She was moved into a place that is local but totally unsuitable. 4 years later and I'm still trying to get her moved to a more suitable place. There is simply nowhere for her to move to that is suitable.

The effect has been dreadfully detrimental to her mental health, even resulting in su***de attemps. It's that bad.

But when people are moved repeatedly because accommodation is not quite right, the cost is not just human. It shows up in voids, damage, emergency interventions and constant churn.

Supported living works differently.

When accommodation is suitable and stable, placements last longer. Homes are better looked after. Providers stay committed to the lease. That stability is exactly what reduces risk for investors.

It creates long term homes for vulnerable people who are able to feel safe and supported in their homes

This is why supported living, done properly, is not a “soft” strategy. It is a resilient one. It creates stability for providers and dignity for tenants

Why investors should care:

Long-term placements mean predictable income and fewer surprises. There is work to do upfront but then your investment becomes virtually passive for the term of the lease.

Supported living is not about chasing the highest yield on paper.

It is about:

Long-term demand Stable income
Investors committed to staying
Housing that remains relevant year after year

When done properly, it combines social impact with investment fundamentals.

Why investors should care: It offers a rare combination of purpose, stability and resilience. Long leases, Government backed rent and a real social impact.

The first Monday of 2026 feels like the right moment to reintroduce myself to everyone who has recently connected with me.

Lifefix Supported Living Property Solutions works exclusively with supported living, care leaver and children’s homes providers to help create safe, modern and genuinely suitable homes. What many people do not know is why this matters so deeply.

As a teenager I spent time in care myself and for almost 15 years I've been a Therapeutic Foster Carer, supporting children whose needs are too complex for mainstream foster care. We adopted our first foster daughter and are now legal guardians to our last foster child. Through this, I saw first-hand the severe shortage of foster carers and residential children’s homes.

Our adopted daughter, now an adult, lives in specialist supported accommodation. It took over a year to find her a local placement, and when we finally did, it was completely unsuitable. Four years on, she is still there because there is simply nowhere else for her to move to.
This is also the reality many care-experienced young people face when they leave care.

That experience is why Lifefix Supported Living Property Solutions exists.

We deliberately chose not to follow traditional buy-to-let or HMO strategies. From day one, our focus has been supported living, care leavers and children’s homes. We understand the regulations, room size standards, commissioning requirements and the practical realities providers deal with every day. We take the time to get it right, even when it is slower and more complex.

For providers, this means working with someone who truly understands your sector and only presents properties with a genuine chance of commissioner approval.

For investors, this means you are offered well-researched, credible opportunities backed by sector expertise, not speculative deals.

Alongside this specialist work, Lifefix Property Solutions offers a fully compliant deal packaging and portfolio-building service for investors, sourcing quality buy-to-let and BRRR opportunities in strong, desirable postcodes across Liverpool.

If you are a provider looking to create more homes, or an investor who wants to work with genuine specialists, please message me. I would love to talk.

Huge Demand, Low Supply. Specialist Supported Housing Needs Ethical Investors Now ‼️‼️‼️
Specialist Supported Housing
Not general supported housing. Not Social Housing. Not low-needs supported housing.
I’m talking about homes for people with learning disabilities, autism and lifelong support needs where demand is exploding and supply is nowhere near enough.
The reality is:
• NHS delays continue because safe homes aren’t available
• Demand is rising every single year
• Thousands of specialist units will be needed by 2040
• Existing provision is under pressure
This isn’t a trend.
It’s a national shortage and ethical investors are urgently needed.
đź’™ Why it matters
Done properly, Specialist Supported Living offers:
✔️ Long, secure FRI leases
✔️ Consistent government backed income not linked to the private rental market ( so no Renters Rights Act to worry about)
✔️ Low risk
✔️ A genuine social impact
As someone with lived experience both as a foster carer and as a parent navigating the system I know how life-changing the right home can be.
That’s why at Lifefix Supported Living Property Solutions, I work only with higher-needs providers who deliver long-term, meaningful support.
The future's looking pretty grim for many landlords right now
Is Specialist Supported Living on your radar yet?
Or is it still the UK’s best kept investment secret?
