Today I am delighted to be joined by Ben & Tom Thorns, two brothers based in South Manchester who started working together in the world of digital marketing but have spent the past three years growing their Living Smart property business with projects ranging from HMOs to new builds.

They are the first guests who will be part of our 2017 goals series, where we track their progress over the course of 12 months to understand what it takes to scale a property business.  Last year we followed Nick Leatherland, Marta & Lloyd Smith and Anthony Hubbard, and it's great to be continuing the series this year.

12 months on from our first interview with Anthony, he returns to let us know how he got on with his goals in 2016. He started off the year with a firm target of achieving financial freedom within 36 months. To him, this equated to £8,000 per month income which would be made possible by increasing his cash pot by £140,000 every year.  Through a small number of high value projects he's done amazingly well, and has made a huge step in 2016 towards achieving financial freedom for him and his family.

Richard is a retired professional rugby player whose career involved playing for London Irish and London Welsh, as well as representing Canada at a national level.

His focus now though is on property investing, which you might have guessed given he's on this show, where he invests alongside his brother through their company RDT Invest.

As well as investing in their own deals, they have a pool of capital which they invest into small and medium size developers.
