We will design the life that you want & a plan for how your property business will help you get there...

What was your big reason for starting your property business?  

  • Freedom to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want? 
  • Money to fund the life that you desire? 
  • Time for the things and the people that you care about? 
  • Less stress - so that you can enjoy life? 
  • To be able to serve the world and give back?  


All too often our property business can give us the opposite of this! So whatever your reason, make sure you have a plan for achieving it.  

The aim of this retreat is to get you on track to...

  • Put more money in your pocket each month
  • Position yourself at the top of the property industry within your niche 
  • Crafting out free time in your life - so that you are running the business and it isn’t running you
  • Understanding how to scale-up your property business without it taking over your life  

Your personal property business plan on just one page  

Our retreat has been designed to give you the space and time-out from your day-to-day business to be able to reconnect with where you are trying to get to and make a step-by-step plan to grow your business in a way that is right for you.

We will work side-by-side to create or refine your strategic plan to take your property business (and your life!) to the next level over the next year.


We will go into detail and analyse every aspect of your property business together, to give you the focus and clarity on how to rapidly scale up your results.

At the end of the 3-days, you will walk away knowing exactly what you need to do to grow your property business AND improve your lifestyle along the way.  


Exclusively for ambitious property investors with a business that they want to rapidly grow  

A rare opportunity to spend time together for 3-solid days - where we totally immerse ourselves in your Property Strategy.

It’s small and personal! You won't be crammed into a room with loads of people. The retreat is designed for just 4-6 Property Business Owners. It's important that we get to know you, your aspirations and your property business, so that the plan you walk away with is uniquely YOURS

In my experience when a plan is this personal, it is so much easier to commit to it, and ultimately compound your results

You don't have to travel halfway around the world to attend. It is a deliberate choice to hold this in England, as I don't want you to have to waste unecessary time and money travelling to some exotic location - I know it's hard enough just to take 3-days out! So it's about maximising the time you have to spend working ON your property business (and not 2 days spent travelling for the privilege!).

Due to it being such a small group of business owners, it will be HIGHLY focused and RELEVANT to you.

You must be a property business owner to attend. Property is a very niched business so we want it all to be relevant to you. 

There will be plenty of 1-2-1 time, ability to ask your specific questions, and to get the attention you need to be able to make the right decisions in your property business.  


The Property Strategy Retreat provides you with quality time to craft your property business strategy over the three days, through a mixture of:  

  • High level masterminding 
  • Break-out sessions 
  • Strategy seminars and workshops 
  • Guided personal time 
  • Plenty of 1-2-1 time together on your business


The full package comes as standard:  

  • Stunning overnight accommodation on days 1 and 2 
  • Full catering throughout the retreat, including dinners at a 2 AA Rosette Restaurant overlooking the sea  

From overwhelm and frustration to focus and clarity  

Over the 3-days we will go through a step-by-step process together to ensure the 12-month action plan we built for you is the perfect one...

1. Take Stock

Move from working IN your business to working ON your property business

Make sure you are building the right property business for you  

2. Dream

Design your ideal lifestyle so we can make sure we are building the RIGHT plan for YOU

Get total clarity on your Vision & Values - or review, refine, and optimise these if you already have them

3. Analyse

Assess how you are currently operating - what works and what does not? So we can cut wastage and ditch what isn’t working!

Analyse your current financial processes to ensure you are minimising financial risk and maximising profits throughout all areas of your property business

Remove frustration and overwhelm from the knowledge of property strategy

4. Refine

Streamline how you are operating to ensure you are geting the maximum results from the minimum effort

Mould your property business into something that will work more efficiently and get you to your goals a lot quicker

Ensure you are putting the right structures in place to be able to systemise, outsource, and scale

5. Refocus

Free your mind and give you clarity on where to focus

Clarity on what opportunities to say Yes and No to

6. Get ready for Action

Create an actionable plan that gives you complete clarity over what you need to do over the next 4 weeks after the retreat to launch yourself forwards in your business

- Anonymous by request, Serviced Accommodation

"I ATTENDED THE RETREAT WITH LOTS OF IDEAS ABOUT WHAT I WANTED TO DO, AND LEFT WITH A FORMULATED PLAN TO IMPLEMENT. IT'S BEEN GREAT! I'LL USE THIS OUTPUT FOR MONTHS AND YEARS TO COME."

- Claire, Single Lets

"THE RETREAT WAS A VEHICLE TO BRING ME BACK INTO PROPERTY. IT HELPED ME TO FOCUS ON MYSELF & BRING BACK MY MOTIVATION. THIS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REFRESH & BUILD A NEW BUSINESS PLAN. JACKIE & DAVE WERE SO HELPFUL"

- Naz, Serviced Accommodation & Buy-to-Lets

I'M FEELING SO MUCH MORE INSPIRED & EXCITED ON HOW TO CONTINUE TO GROW MY BUSINESS. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!"

- Jasmine, Lettings Agency & Portfolio Landlord

"EXCELLENT CONTENT PROVIDED IN A VERY GOOD & INFORMAL SETTING. PRESENTED IN A VERY EASY MANNER TO UNDERSTAND & DIGEST. ALL QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED IN A VERY OPEN GROUP CHAT. ENJOYED MY TIME SO MUCH & WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND."

- Darren, Buy-to-lets

"I WAS INVITED TO ATTEND THE RETREAT AFTER MANY DISCUSSIONS WITH JACKIE ON THE GROWTH OF MY BUSINESS AND WHAT PLANS I HAD FOR THE FUTURE. I HAVE TO SAY THAT WHAT PSI GAVE ME WAS A CLEAR AND CONCISE PICTURE OF NOT ONLY WHICH DIRECTION I WANT MY BUSINESS TO GO IN, BUT ALSO THE STAFF I WANT WORKING ALONGSIDE ME & HOW I CAN GET THERE. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGY ON A PAGE WITHIN MY DAY-TO-DAY TASKS HAS ASSISTED ME HUGELY WITH FOCUS ON MY SHORT & MID TERM STRATEGIES TO HELP ME GET TO MY OVERALL GOAL... A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS & EARLY RETIREMENT! 

I WOULD CERTAINLY RECOMMEND ANYONE TO JACKIE & TOMES HOMES IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT GROWING YOUR PROPERTY BUSINESS."

- Rebecca, HMO's

"I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM JACKIE TOMES' PROPERTY STRATEGY RETREAT. WOW! WHAT CAN I SAY?! I HAVE COME AWAY WITH A CLEAR VISION FOR MY BUSINESS AND A STRATEGY ON HOW TO GET THERE. IF YOU ARE ANYTHING LIKE ME, YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING -  HOW CAN I TAKE THREE DAYS AWAY FROM MY BUSINESS? I'M TOO BUSY, MY TO DO LIST IS SO LONG, WHAT OPPORTUNITIES WILL I MISS FROM BEING AWAY? I DID ALL OF THAT, BUT JACKIE DELICATELY PERSUADED ME THAT TAKING TIME AWAY WOULD ULTIMATELY HELP ME TO GET MY TIME BACK, AND SHE WAS RIGHT! 
OVER THE COURSE OF THE THREE DAYS, EACH BUSINESS OWNER WAS GIVEN TIME TO WORK WITH JACKIE OR WITHIN THE WHOLE GROUP TO MASTERMIND EACH OF OUR BUSINESSES, WHICH GAVE ME GREAT EXTERNAL PERSPECTIVE THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE ACHIEVED ALONE.

HAVING TIME IN SUCH PERFECT SURROUNDINGS (WITH FIVE STAR FOOD AND COMPANY), FOCUSING SOLELY ON MY BUSINESS WITHOUT ANY DISTRACTIONS WAS AMAZING. I WOULD WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS TO ANYONE WITH A PROPERTY BUSINESS. I ONLY WISH I HAD DONE THIS SOONER - I KNOW IT HAS SAVED ME A LOT OF TIME ON THINGS THAT DID NOT FIT MY NOW, VERY CLEAR BUSINESS MODEL!"

- Sarah, HMO's & Deal Sourcing

I'VE JUST FINISHED THE PROPERTY STRATEGY COURSE RUN BY JACKIE TOMES AND I HONESTLY FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO COMPLETELY CHANGE MY BUSINESS.

BEFORE I WENT ON THE COURSE I WAS DEALING WITH EVERYTHING ON A DAILY BASIS, JUST FIRE-FIGHTING ISSUES AS AND WHEN THEY CAME UP. I HAD NO FOCUS ON WHERE THE BUSINESS WAS GOING AND HOW WHAT I WAS DOING WAS IMPACTING THE BOTTOM LINE. AFTER SPENDING THREE DAYS FOCUSSING SOLELY ON MY BUSINESS RATHER THAN IN IT, I NOW KNOW HOW TO FAST-TRACK MY BUSINESS TO GET TO EXACTLY WHERE I WANT TO BE AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHY I'M DOING IT! THANK YOU JACKIE, I'LL BE TELLING EVERYONE THEY HAVE TO DO YOUR COURSE - EVEN IF THEY THINK THEY HAVE A STRATEGY, THEY VERY PROBABLY DON'T!”
