MEET THE SPEAKERS

Arron Holmes @holmesandkeys

Building momentum early through serviced accommodation and deal sourcing.

Arron has shown clear consistency and progress in building his property business through action, structure, and long-term thinking. He currently operates multiple short-term rental units, with further expansion underway — including a 7-bedroom serviced accommodation property in Liverpool, demonstrating a strong understanding of compliance, operational discipline, and cash-flow-driven short-term rental models.

Alongside managing his own portfolio, Arron has successfully agreed and sold 16 property deals within a nine-month period, highlighting his ability to analyse opportunities, negotiate confidently, and build strong investor relationships in live market conditions.

Arron has also invested £12,000 into his property education, reinforcing a long-term approach focused on systems, strategy, and sustainable growth rather than speculation.

Achieving financial freedom through BRR and Rent-to-HMO strategies.

Manfred specialises in Buy, Refurbish, Refinance (BRR) and Rent-to-HMO strategies across the Midlands, where he has built a portfolio designed around long-term income and stability.

Through structured execution and a clear strategic focus, Manfred has achieved financial freedom through property. His journey includes hands-on experience across refurbishments, financing structures, tenant demand, and the operational realities of managing HMOs — offering a grounded and realistic perspective on building wealth through property.

At YLC Event 3, Manfred will share insights from his journey, the mindset required to stay consistent, and the lessons learned through real execution.

YLC events are designed to go beyond surface-level motivation. We focus on real journeys, honest conversations, and practical insight, helping young people build confidence, clarity, and the right networks early on.

This event is not about quick wins or hype.
