Lease from landlords. Lease on to housing providers.
Back-to-back leasing, taught by someone who does it. You take a property on a commercial lease from a landlord, then lease it on to a provider that houses people with support needs.
Two ways to learn it: the self-paced BRIDGE course, opening soon, or 90 days working 1:1 with Jay, by application.

- LandlordLeases the property to your company, often for three to five years.
- YouHold both leases and look after both relationships.
- ProviderPlaces the residents and runs the housing day to day.
- Service userLives there, with support from the provider.
Leases run down the chain and rent runs back up. If the numbers work, the gap between the two rents is your margin, before your costs. If the provider stops paying or hands the property back, you still owe the landlord.
Six stages, in order.
The start takes work. You need a provider with real demand, a landlord who'll agree and numbers that stack. You'll need money to set a deal up, and you take on the landlord's rent for the length of the lease. BRIDGE takes you through each stage.
Build your provider network
Find and contact housing providers in your area, using public registers and Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.
Research what providers need
Property standards, compliance, client groups and the rents each type of provider pays.
Identify the right properties
Find stock that fits and start real conversations with landlords and agents.
Deal with the landlord
Run the numbers, structure the offer and agree the terms.
Go live
Sign both leases, hand over to the provider and complete the chain.
Earn and evolve
Once a lease is live, run it month to month, then do it again.
Pick the route that fits.

Jay Chauhan
Providers didn't only want to buy property. They wanted to lease it.
Jay started in property in South Wales in 2010, buying, refurbishing and selling. Then came rent-to-rent HMOs, serviced accommodation, a portfolio in Reading ahead of Crossrail, HMO development and permitted development conversions.
In February 2020 he completed a commercial-to-residential conversion. Then Covid hit, and the provider that had agreed to buy the whole site pulled out the same month. The research that followed turned up something he hadn't expected.
That became his back-to-back leasing business. BRIDGE is the method he uses, written down.
