The people below didn't have an unfair advantage. They weren't sitting on large inheritances or decades of property experience. Most of them came to their first event not knowing what to expect, with more questions than answers.
What changed was one decision to take it seriously. A strategy that fit their situation. And a community that kept them moving when it got difficult.
Recognised with the Progressive Lifetime Achievement Award, the couple has built a substantial property portfolio since 2015, established 18 income streams, and founded the UK's largest property developer academy.
"Thirteen years ago I was sitting in Rob's living room with eight other people. Fast forward to today and I hold a portfolio worth approximately £10 million. Progressive gave me the toolkit, the knowledge, the mindset."
Over 13 years with Progressive, the pair has built an eight-figure property portfolio and operate the UK's second-largest deal packaging business.
Five years into his journey with Progressive, Vito took home the award for the highest income from a single deal, a remarkable £33,000. Having transitioned into deal packaging full-time with mentorship from Kevin, he now works entirely in property without staff or premises. His advice: don't sit on the fence, get trained, get a mentor, and take action.
Inspired by Rich Dad Poor Dad, Lisa followed Kevin McDonnell to the UK to learn property investing. Adapting UK strategies to the Irish market as an early adopter, her Rent-to-SA business is now the second-largest serviced accommodation provider in Ireland, generating over €50,000 per month and giving her the freedom to travel and spend time with family.
After running a recruitment business, Ollie made a gradual two-year transition into property full-time. His two-tier strategy, HMOs for cash flow and commercial assets for long-term growth, was shaped through Progressive's commercial mastermind. He credits mentors Wendy and Richard with helping him avoid costly mistakes along the way.
In 2023, Faisal moved from solo property investing to joint ventures, scaling his portfolio to £1.2 million and earning an outstanding achievement award for his community contributions.
"When I joined Progressive, I was a self-described introvert. The speaker training with Toni Gargan and Rob Moore changed everything. Progressive didn't just teach me property, it transformed who I am."
Before joining Progressive in 2015, Anne was a dentist treating property as a hobby. Learning the BRRR strategy with Rob and Mark changed everything. Within two years she had left dentistry behind and eventually became a Progressive trainer herself. Today her portfolio sits at around 80 units worth approximately £11 million, more than enough to fund a life of travel and time with family.
"We stumbled into property as accidental landlords with just three or four properties and no real plan. Since joining Progressive in 2018 we've grown to 25 properties. Today, we're in a position where we could retire."
"I was one of Progressive's first trainers. What I'm most proud of isn't any title, it's watching former students walk on stage to collect their own awards. That's when you know the mentoring has truly taken root."
Most companies show you three or four testimonials. We've got twenty years of them. Thousands of ordinary people, builders, nurses, parents, graduates, who came to us at a crossroads and used our strategies to build portfolios, leave jobs, clear debts, and create financial freedom for their families. This is the most honest thing we can show you. Real people. Unfiltered results. Two decades of proof.

No inheritance. No industry connections. No unfair advantage. Just people who found the right strategy, got the right support, and took action. Scroll through and you'll find someone who started exactly where you are.

"Prior to Progressive Academy we had 5 properties in 6 years and raised 0 JV finance, now purchased over 30 Properties; Holding 15 (single Lets & HMOs) – £3.1M value - £1.1M equity - £20K rent roll pcm, sourced 4 and FLIPPED 12 with a £400K Profit, raised JV Finance of £1.4M"

"In the last 3 months I've bought 2 properties for £195k each; 1x block of 5 flats about 60% BMV and 1x 6 bed which I'm going to convert into 6 flats. The valuation on the block has come back at £450k and if the new flats sell for £75k each, they'll both be all money out, with an uplift of around £500k excluding fees. I run my property business alongside my internet marketing business but still commit to 5.5 hours travel to PPA so I can keep growing my network and learning. If you want to be financially free, coming to Progressive is a no brainer."

"Raised £750k in JV and Angel Finance thanks to PPA.
Raised over £1million in JV and Angel Finance in total.
Did 15 Property deals in my first 18 months of property
Met my JV partner on the MC training"

"After 20 years working in HR, I found the more senior I became the less fulfilled I felt. The job was taking up most of my time and I knew there had to be more to life than working for someone else. I’d always known property was a good investment but had been too busy with my career to act on it. When I finally started, I secured 3 rent-to-rent HMOs within 3 months - one while I was on holiday abroad - generating just over £3k net per month while taking less than 1–2 hours a week to manage.
A year later I had the confidence to quit my job and I've never looked back. I’ve grown my portfolio to 32 units, across 5 properties, with the average property cashflowing around £1k per month. Most deals come through building relationships with agents and I typically spend less than £2k to set up a property. The freedom it's given me is amazing!"

Join us for 3 intensive days to discover the exact blueprint to replace your income, achieve total financial freedom, and build generational wealth - without using your own money.

"I've always had an entrepreneurial streak; which was encouraged by my dad who gave me 'Think and Grow Rich' to read when I was 12, but I lost my way abit and started working at a petrol station. I didn't do well with being told what to do and the desire to be wealthy and have freedom was still there. Attending a Progressive event made me realise I could be doing so much more - I loved the energy and being around the people.
Since joining the Progressive Property Academy I've bought a block of 12 flats & 10 garages for £250k from auction, using none of my own money, completed a refurb with none of my own money and taken a nice chunk of cash out. I have a portfolio of 24 properties, valued about £2.4 million with £1 million equity & £10k gross cashflow per month with about £4.5k net."

"My property journey started at age 13 working on a building site by 29 I was a property millionaire, due to the mortgage crunch I lost most of it, I joined PPA to find the best property mentors, expand my circle, I have developed a number of commercial projects, 34 apartment project with a GDV of £4.3m and raised in excess of 30 million in finance."

"What has being part of Progressive done for me?
Within 18 months after the masterclass I have raised a million in JV finance and I have 4 HMOs in the north with none of my own money."

"I was a lettings agent for 12 years and had 11 single lets, investing the old-fashioned way - saving for a deposit, waiting until the property increased in value, then remortgaging to pull money out to buy another. After 10 months of being part of PPA, I had added 5 Rent2Rent properties, 4 single lets, raised £400,000 in JV finance, and acquired a commercial property with 20 units."

"Before attending the course, I was at an all-time low; recently divorced, nearly 20-year equestrian business failing, deep in debt, and working 24/7 just to survive. I borrowed from family and credit cards, desperate for income, stability, and free time. Attending MSOPI was a turning point; I knew I had to get educated even if it meant going further into debt. The trainers’ knowledge, support, and guidance gave me the mindset and confidence to push through challenges, including COVID hitting just 4 months after starting my business.
In less than 18 months, I completely turned things around. I secured my first R2SA unit within 4 weeks of the intensive course and now own 4 R2SA units, manage 12 other properties, and have a holiday letting business turning over nearly £20K per month. This has given me more money than I earned in the previous 25 years, proving that with the right education, support, and persistence, it truly works."

"Before Progressive, I worked in telecom sales with no property experience beyond my own home and no real passion for my job. A friend recommended the Multiple Streams of Property Income event and it completely changed my mindset and showed me what was possible.
I joined the BRRR Masterclass and within a few months bought 3 properties and had left my job. They generated £2.5k rental income per month and I'd added £100k+ in equity which was double my yearly salary. I bought 8 more properties in the following 12-18 months and then pivoted into commercial property, applying the foundational principles of BRRR.
Today, I’m an award-winning developer with 34 properties, turning over £70k per month. My portfolio is worth £12m and I have a further £10m+ of projects in the pipeline, including developments overseas.
If it wasn't for MSOPI I'd still be in the same job, earning the same salary and in the same frame of mind. Property has given me financial freedom and freedom to say no, travel and a create a better life for my family."

"Since joining your community I’ve gone from having no work-life balance and running one company at £50k per month to averaging £90k per month in just 2 years - even through Covid.
I’ve launched a podcast that’s now being monetised, started a coaching business with paying clients, and after 8 years out of property I’m about to complete on a buy-to-let cash flowing £300 per month. Most importantly, I’ve got my balance and confidence back, and I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time. Being part of your community and having 121 access to you has saved me - thank you Rob."
Every trainer at Progressive Property went through our courses first. They weren't hired to present - they're here because they built real results using what we teach, and couldn't stop talking about it.
Myth - you need a lot of money to start
Reality
No-money-down strategies are a core part of what we teach. Kevin McDonnell built a £19M+ portfolio starting from nothing - using the exact techniques our trainers cover. You don't need a large deposit to get started. You need the right strategy.
Myth - you need property experience
Reality
None required. Whether you've never bought a property or already have a portfolio, our trainers meet you where you are. The courses are built to guide you from wherever you're starting - no prior knowledge assumed, no experience needed to walk through the door.
Myth - you need to be young to start
Reality
Progressive students range from their early 20s to their 60s and beyond - and all of them have built portfolios. The best time to start is whenever you decide to. Students in their 60s have gone on to create genuine financial freedom through property. Age is not a barrier here.
Myth - you need to quit your job first
Reality
Toni Gargan was working full time in a corporate HR role when she started. She built her portfolio alongside her job and left on her own terms at 33. Our training is designed to work around your life - not replace it before you're ready.
Myth - you need an existing portfolio
Reality
Students come to us with a portfolio and without one - both are absolutely fine. If you already own property, we'll show you how to make it work harder. If you own nothing yet, we'll show you how to get your first deal. The training works either way.
Myth - It's too complicated to figure out
Reality
That's exactly what the training is for. You're guided step by step by trainers who've done it themselves - not textbook presenters, but investors who were once exactly where you are. The complexity doesn't disappear, but you don't have to figure it out alone.
Every trainer at Progressive was once unsure if they were ready. Every student who got results started before they felt confident. That's not a coincidence.
