She started with very little... and look at her now!
Jessica Reehal, 42, has worked her way from a Pizza Hut waitress to a successful mortgage broker and owner of 22 properties in Leeds, which she rents to families on benefits.
Jessica said: "My father sadly passed away and I found it really tough. I finally left the bank in 2012 as it wasn't for me anymore, my dad left some businesses and houses when he died which we divided between the family. They had gone into disrepair and we were left with his vacant properties in a bad state.
"I worked in the shop for 8 years and all from the rent from the houses went on doing the other houses up, we had to earn the money to do the work." The 42-year-old believes it is important for people to save money in order to buy their homes as its an asset to them - she's encouraging people to become savvy with their money in order to save. Although she was left five houses by her dad she has always worked and saved. She added: "We didn't live a flash life, you just have to save and you will get there.
