Quick question for any UK landlords in here:

Did you know your Jamaica rental income might count toward the Making Tax Digital threshold?

MTD applies to combined gross income over £50,000 — rental AND self-employment together, before expenses. If you have properties in both countries and do any freelance or self-employed work, you could be in scope without realising it.

HMRC is now signing up no-shows from September. Do not wait for a letter.

Not sure where you stand? Comment below or DM me and I will tell you directly.

If your combined income is near the threshold and you want someone to manage this properly for you - that is exactly what I do for a small number of finance clients. DM me.

The last two Lifestyle Landlords Brunches here in Runaway Bay completely overbooked.

We shut the doors to the world, dove into cross-border numbers, drank Wayne's legendary Pineapple Spritzers and talked property wealth for four hours straight instead of the scheduled 2 hours.

It made me realise something: landlords in the UK and Jamaica don't just want dry tax checklists. They want clarity, confidence and someone who actually understands both markets.

So I have built something for the landlord who is ready to go deeper.

The Freedom Review - a comprehensive cross-border portfolio review for landlords with property in the UK, Jamaica or both. We look at your full picture across both markets - tax position, what you can legitimately claim, risk management and forward planning. In one place. At the same time.

Your portfolio. Both markets. One clear picture.

Raise your hand if "sort out the rental accounts" has been on your to-do list since… well, let's not say how long. 😅

No judgement here. Between tenants, repairs, and actually living your life, the paperwork always seems to end up at the bottom of the pile.

But with the first Making Tax Digital Update coming soon it's worth getting on top of, before it turns into a headache.

The good news? It's quicker and less painful than you think.

In my MTD Rescue Session, we spend 90 minutes together getting everything set up and sorted, so you can tick it off the list for good and get back to your summer. ☀️

✨ For landlords with 1 to 5 properties in the UK, Jamaica, or both
✨ Book before 10 July and get 2 months of my Landlords' Roundtable free
✨ Just 5 spots available

Know someone whose "to-do list" could use this? Tag them or share. 💛

How I’m Building Reliable Monthly Income from Rentals

For those of you who have (or are thinking about) rental property alongside your creative work, it can be a really powerful way to bring in more consistent, reliable income.
I’m an accountant and landlord myself, and I’ve been working on making my rentals not just “tick along”, but properly support my lifestyle.
Most landlords have a goal…but it’s usually something like:
“just keep it going”

Rent comes in. Bills go out.

And somehow… there’s never quite enough left.

I’ve realised that’s not really a plan.

So I’ve been getting clear on mine: 👉 10 units, generating around USD $x net each per month, this could be 10 Airbnb suites or studio long-term lets or a mixture of the two for diversity.

Enough to cover my lifestyle, with one unit covering management and support.

Simple. Sustainable. No chaos.

Because the real question is:

What are your rentals actually meant to do for your life?

Have you ever worked out your number?
