In this powerful episode, we sit down with Simon Kites partner at a national accountancy firm, globe-trotter, and now, an active property investor with a purpose. From running marathons in costume to changing his name by deed poll to honour his family legacy, Simon shares a life story that blends career success, personal reflection, and a deep desire to create generational wealth.
Simon talks openly about his early mistakes in overseas property, the lessons learned from DIY investing, and how he’s now built a high-performing HMO portfolio with his sons—laying the foundation for their financial future.
We also dive into:
✅ How a busy professional balances career, life, and investing
✅ Why outsourcing changed his property journey for the better
✅ How to involve your family in your financial plans
✅ What financial freedom really means when you already earn well
✅ The mindset shift from income-rich to asset-building
This is an honest, thoughtful, and inspiring listen for anyone looking to build wealth while staying grounded in what truly matters.
