Leaving behind a secure job in the food manufacturing industry to pursue property full-time? It’s a bold move — and one that’s paid off for Tammy Cardoso.

In this episode, I speak with Tammy about how she transitioned from the corporate world to co-founding a refurbishment company with her partner Danny. With eight completed projects and four HMOs in progress, she shares the real lessons behind what it takes to build confidence, credibility, and clarity in the world of property investment — even when you start from scratch.

You’ll learn:
✔️ Why Tammy left her job before buying her first property
✔️ The biggest misconceptions she had about freedom and ‘getting rich quick’
✔️ How therapy and self-awareness helped her work better with builders
✔️ The power of clear communication, structured planning and using a schedule of works
✔️ Why she’s focusing on more complex HMOs and commercial-to-resi projects
✔️ The importance of community — and how Tammy finds support through women-focused networks like Hard Hats to Heels

Whether you’re new to property or looking to scale up with more confidence, Tammy’s story is an inspiring and practical guide to building a property business that’s sustainable and supported.
