And this altruistic, highly successful entrepreneur is all about helping other people through property education, making them more money so they, too, can live a happier life. Featured in Forbes and frequently in the national and international press discussing investing, flipping and developing property, debunking common myths and more, he’s recently starred in top title ‘New York Weekly’ and has relished TV appearances too. “Yes, there have been a few over the years…” Liam tells me. “I’ve most recently featured on GB News as a panellist.”

ASSETS FOR LIFE

Affluent Liam is the CEO and co-founder of Assets for Life, a property business training and wealth education company dedicated to helping new and existing property entrepreneurs and developers accelerate their success through world-class training, mentorship, property portfolio strategies, tools and resources.

How does it feel to have the title of the UK’s highest star-rated wealth training and property investment company? “It’s amazing! Our clients are at the heart of everything we do at Assets For Life, so it’s incredibly important that they have a brilliant experience,” he reveals.

“The reason why we started the training side of the business is because I knew the impact of having the right education and support can have on someone’s life after experiencing it first-hand. So, to think that over the last eight-and-a-half years we’ve built what is now the UK’s highest star- rated property training company makes me incredibly proud.”

BACK TO HIS PROPERTY ROOTS… AND ZENITH WINDOWS

His passion for property began at sweet 16. “I was a window salesman, going from house-to house knocking on doors to sell double glazing,” Liam tells me.

The young entrepreneur very much enjoyed working for family-run, Essex- based Zenith Windows, which specialises in a wide range of high-quality home improvement services. “It was a great time! As a door-to-door salesman it involved a lot of cold calling, and at the time, I was very young and pretty inexperienced in the world of business. Doing this job allowed me to learn the basics of business and master the art of selling which, in any business, is a key skill.”

Who in the property and business worlds inspired him? “My drive and inspiration came from a desire to provide a better life for myself and my family. We didn’t have much, so I wanted to be successful in order to change our lives,” he explains. “One key influence was a man called Tim, a local market trader who took me under his wing and taught me key skills that I still use to this day. Gaining that first-hand experience was key.”

And once he had the key, what a property journey it’s been…

SPANISH LEARNING CURVES

Several years later, Liam applied to work at a large multinational marketing company, clinched the job, and just three weeks later jetted off abroad.

“When I was 20, I moved to Spain, and while running other businesses, I also invested a lot in properties and built a significant portfolio. However, I was young and didn’t have the right people around me and, ultimately, the business failed, and I returned to the UK.”

TURNING IT AROUND

So, how did he turn things around and become the much- respected multi-millionaire he is now? “My main success has come in the last nine years, after attending a training event in London. I have since completed over £28 million pounds’-worth of property deals.”

Today, Liam is proud to be the CEO of one of the top property investment, business, and wealth training companies in the UK. Assets For Life is involved in multiple property income streams, from small deals through to huge commercial conversions worth millions.

WINNING SUCCESS FORMULA

If anyone knows how to rise in real estate, it’s Liam Ryan. His winning formula for success? “Once you master how to find great property deals, how to fund them using NONE of your own money, how to fill or flip them, you will be in a position to never have to worry about money ever again,” he divulges.

“So, it’s the three ‘F’s – Find, Fund, Fill (or Flip). This is definitely a great starting point for how you can become the best version of you and live the life that you truly deserve and desire.”  

EDUCATIONAL REWARDS

As a specialist wealth education and property investment company, Assets For Life is dedicated to helping new and existing property investors and entrepreneurs accelerate their success through world-class training, mentorship, strategies, resources and tools.

Liam enjoys empowering others through education, an aspect of his work he finds extremely gratifying. “It really is! And seeing the success of our clients is rewarding, too. There have been so many examples over the years of people who are feeling stuck or dissatisfied in their life, and seeing them be able to change not only their life but their families’ life around, too, is hugely satisfying and something that drives me at every single event”, he explains.

“We are living proof that anyone can build life-changing income and achieve success, given the right education and mindset. Using tried and tested blueprints, our training and property investment company shows you how to thrive in property and business and alter the direction of your life for the better, building a win-win relationship that lasts.”

FLIPPING, DEVELOPING + COMMERCIAL CHALLENGES

An authority on all things real estate, Liam and his top team flip and develop property predominantly in the southeast of England. “Chelmsford, Colchester… and we have been working on a huge commercial conversion development in Maidenhead,” he explains.

His biggest challenge? “Our Maidenhead project has a had a lot of ups and downs. We have been converting two buildings into two commercial units and 26 high-quality flats on the high street, and have faced many challenges with this, from bad experiences with contractors, timelines not being met and, of course, the impact of the COVID pandemic. This has led to the project being delayed, but it is now nearing completion.”

FROM COUNCIL ESTATE TO PROPERTY MILLIONAIRE

Starting life on a council estate, did this wealth entrepreneur and mentor ever think he might one day create an industry- leading property business?

“I always felt that I would be successful no matter what, but at the time I did not know which industry that would be in. I always had that entrepreneurial spirit, so I knew that one day I would own my own business. But it wasn’t until later in life that property became the focus.”

Top Titles

An Amazon best-selling author, too, Liam’s brilliant book, ‘Bricks, Mortar & Other People’s Money’, is focused on raising joint venture finance to build a property portfolio.

“It contains a unique and proven formula that is guaranteed to create a multimillion-pound property portfolio using none of your own money.”

And there’s another title in the works. “I am currently in the process of writing a new book with my close friend and co- founder of Assets For Life, Jay Munoz.”

Columbian-born Jay is also a best-selling author, an eight- figure property business entrepreneur, a mentor, host, and a civil engineer, who has always wanted to be able to improve people’s lives as a ‘modus vivendi’.

INTERNATIONAL RETREATS

In terms of overseas learning and builds, Liam and his top team recently ran a Dream Team Retreat in Thailand, and there’s something very exciting being developed by Liam over in sunny Spain.

“For the most part, I keep to the UK, although we are currently building a luxury 6-bed villa in Marbella, which will host our future business retreats,” he reveals.

“This has always been one of my property dreams – to build a multi-million-pound villa in Marbella, where I can run global retreats for people from all over the world to come to and we can work on their businesses,” says Liam.

“They will learn how to make money, manage money, multiply money. How they can start scaling and grow their property portfolios, how to become investors and how to get themselves in a position where they never have to worry about money again.”

MAKE MONEY AT LIAM’S MARBELLA MANSION

Liam says going on a retreat is “one of the best things you can do for yourself”. “Because you get off the grid and you hang out with other great multi-millionaires. We have gone through extensive work with interior designers, developers to make sure our Marbella retreat is exactly what we visualise.”

AFL Casa Marbella will run the company’s high-level retreats across the nine verticals in Liam’s training company and will also play host to his fun family and friends’ getaways.

And that dream is now fast becoming a reality. “Marbella is the ultimate investment hotspot. There are great things to come!”

HOME SWEET HOME

As for his own abodes, the award-winning property entrepreneur has a prolific property portfolio, but for Liam, the only way is city life in Essex.

“I have multiple properties in my portfolio,” he explains. “But the main property is where I live with my family – in a modern house in Chelmsford.”

As for home styling, “I leave all of the interior to my wife, Holly, as I personally like to focus elsewhere.”

SUSTAINABLE BUILDS

What practices has he put in place to make his property developments as sustainable as possible?

“We always try to source materials in the most ethical way possible,” says Liam. “And we consider this an important factor when choosing key suppliers and contractors.”

MAXIMISING NATURAL LIGHT

Having worked for Zenith Windows and owned property in sunny Spain, what are Liam’s tips for letting in the light?

“You can’t beat natural light!” Liam advises. “So always try to ensure that the property is south facing (in the UK) to maximise sunlight throughout, it’s also super important that there is nothing obstructing the windows such as trees, bushes, or external structures.”

SUPERPOWER YOUR PROPERTY

And how can we easily add the ‘wow factor’ and add value to our homes on a tight budget?

“Transforming your home into a space that makes your heart sing doesn’t have to break the bank,” Liam promises. “Trust me, I’ve been there, flipping through decor magazines with
a sigh, wishing for a change… And guess what? It’s MORE than possible.”

He says the secret to ‘superpower’ your pad is much simpler than you might think. “Paint. It’s like a superpower for home makeovers,” Liam spills. “A splash of colour can breathe new life into any corner, making it pop.”

UP THE VIBE & VALUE WITH ‘WOWS’

And he has advice aplenty for adding the ‘Wow’. “Upgrading to sleek, modern fixtures, or adding some stylish lamps can transform your space from ‘meh’ to ‘wow’. And never underestimate the power of decluttering. Clearing out the clutter not only frees up your space but also your mind, paving the way for fresh ideas and energy.”

“So, there you have it. With a bit of creativity and elbow grease, you can elevate your home’s vibe and value!”

CHARITY CALLS

Philanthropic Liam carries out a lot of charity work and has contributed both funding and advice for the Village Build Project in Colombia.

“This project is very close to my co-founder, Jay Munoz’, heart as he has always wanted to give back to people who need our help in Colombia,” Liam explains. “Through our charity fundraising, we have helped fund two house builds in Colombia, helping families who have low income and are currently living in poor conditions. We work with local developers over there to help build them suitable housing.”
