90 Days to Financial Freedom

How I Replaced My Teaching Income in 90 Days Through Property Sourcing

Let’s be real...

Not long ago, I was still in the classroom every day, teaching full-time. I loved the impact I was making, but let’s be honest—teaching is exhausting. The long hours, the constant marking, the planning that eats into weekends... and at the end of the month, the payslip didn’t stretch nearly as far as I wanted it to. I knew something had to change.

That’s when I came across property sourcing.


At first, I thought it sounded too good to be true: finding deals for investors and earning fees of £2,000–£5,000 per deal? While still keeping my teaching job? But within 90 days, I’d actually managed to do it—I completely replaced my teaching income through property sourcing, all while still working in school.

Here’s how I did it (and how you could too);

Step 1: Learn as You Go (Without Quitting Your Job)

I didn’t quit my job or throw myself into full-time. I used my evenings and weekends to learn the basics:

• What makes a good deal.

• How to stay compliant.

• How to package numbers so investors actually say “yes.”

It wasn’t easy after a long school day, but I kept telling myself: this isn’t forever, it’s for my freedom.

Step 2: Build a Network (Even If You’re Busy)

Property is a people business. My network became everything.

• I went to the odd networking event after school.

• On lunch breaks, I sent messages to investors and agents.

• I started posting little updates online about what I was learning—this attracted people who wanted deals.

Slowly but surely, the connections started coming in.

Step 3: Land Your First Deal

I’ll never forget my first deal. I worked with a local agent in Leeds , packaged up a 2-bed flat , fully furnished for an investor, and when the deal went through… the sourcing fee was more than my entire monthly teaching salary.

That was the moment I realised: this works

Step 4: Stay Consistent (Even When It’s Hard)

I won’t sugar-coat it. Balancing teaching and sourcing was tough. There were nights I got home shattered and wanted to do nothing but collapse on the sofa. But I made a commitment to myself: one hour a day, no matter what. Weekends became property days—viewings, calls, meetings and that consistency paid off.

Step 5: Scale Up Fast

By month three, I had acquired a block of flats in Leicester. I sourced 12 , one and two bed flats for investors looking to build their rent to serviced accommodation portfolio and charged the investors a fee . My sourcing fees now matched (and even slightly exceeded) my teaching income.

In 90 days, I’d gone from stressed-out teacher with no free time… to having a business that gave me options, freedom, and belief in myself

What I Learnt

1. You don’t need to quit your job to start.

2. Consistency beats perfection; just keep moving forward.

3. Replacing your income isn’t a dream; it’s possible in months if you commit

   

I’m Naz Banu. I was once a full-time teacher, juggling long days in the classroom with late nights marking books, wondering if I’d ever get ahead financially. When I discovered property sourcing, it changed everything.

In just 90 days, I replaced my teaching income and proved to myself that freedom is possible. Now, I’m passionate about helping other busy professionals, especially teachers, see that they too can create a life with more time, more choice, and more financial independence.

If you’re sitting there feeling stuck, I want you to know this: you don’t have to stay where you are. I started small, with no special advantages, and if I can do it, you can too
