Inside The UK's First Key Worker Only Co Living Scheme With Gemma Parsons
from Girls In Property · host Athena Dobson
Imagine this. Shift work finishing at 4am. Coming home to a house share where nobody understands why you sleep during the day. Nurses, paramedics and firefighters keeping this country running, with nowhere decent to actually rest.Gemma Parsons saw that gap and decided to fill it herself.In this episode of Girls in Property I'm joined by Gemma Parsons, who is behind the UK's first key worker only co living scheme. Gemma came from emergency services, so she lived the problem before she ever tried to solve it. What she's built is a scheme designed entirely around shift patterns, mental health and the reality of what it takes to look after people who spend their lives looking after everyone else.We get into the real detail too. How she managed a major renovation while still holding down a full time job. Her first HMO in Liverpool and everything that taught her. The funding wall she hit with bridging finance, how she moved to private investment, and what it actually takes to build trust with investors when you're still relatively early in your journey.This one is about purpose as much as it is about property. Gemma is honest about resilience, about burnout, about checking in with yourself when the pressure is on. If you've ever wondered whether your property business could stand for something bigger than the numbers, this conversation will light something in you.Have a listen and let me know what you think.How to Get Involved With The Girls in Property 👇 👩 Join our GIP Community 📞 Not sure it's for you?
