Vanessa Zheng is a property investor and university lecturer of marketing who boasts an impressive portfolio of 40 properties worth over £8,000,000 that she has developed through decades of experience and expertise in the property market. Combining her expertise in property investment and her love of teaching, Vanessa developed Smart Investors Academy in 2018 to share with others the proven methods and strategies that she has developed to reach such levels of success in her business.

Vanessa began her HMO property business in Chesterfield, UK, delivering more than 75 rooms in 2015 alone. After having some success in the HMO property market, Vanessa sought to restructure her property business in 2017, exploring the profit-generating potential of running serviced accommodations. After finding how much profit-generating potential there is in exploiting the high demand for corporate bookings, all of Vanessa’s properties were converted to serviced accommodations in July 2018, achieving maximum occupancy of the whole portfolio after only 18 months!
