Early life
Born on 11th April 1991, in Walsall, Samuel Leeds was brought up by his mother and father on a council estate called Leemore.
His father taught him magic tricks, which he performed in school and alongside his father at shows. After his parents divorced, his father-in-law taught him the basics of property and mortgages.
Samuel and his brother, Russell, are partners in the business. They are both devout Christians and spent their early teens helping missionaries at a drug rehab center in Costa Blanca, Spain.
Education
Samuel attended Emmanuel School in Walsall and was nearly expelled because of his detention record. He finished school with low grades but credits his business success to his then-teacher, Deborah Hey-Smith.
When he turned 20 years old, and after a bad car crash, he took 3 years out of his property business to attend Bible College in Birmingham.
His first job was as an apprentice plasterer.
How did Samuel Leeds build his net worth?
Samuel launched his first business at age 15 — Pelsor Plastering — after he left school and attended a one-day plastering crash course.
Leeds attended his first property networking event and signed up for a property training course at 16 years old. He achieved an NVQ Level 2 in Business Studies from Business Link Night School. To gain more work experience, he worked as a Distributor at Utility Warehouse.
At 17 years old, he had progressed to property letting management on behalf of investors. This was the beginning of his rent-to-rent model.
He bought his first property on Maryvale Road in Walsall for £100,000, which was £20,000 below market value. He refinanced it the next day.
