Introduction
Sarah Russo is a Derby-based property investor and entrepreneur. She spent over 15 years in a corporate role before shifting her focus to building long-term wealth through property.
She is married with two children. She understands the need for a strategy that fits real life.
As Director of The Property Monkey (the Company), her focus is on building a diversified portfolio while keeping risk controlled and the approach practical.
She had already bought and managed properties herself. The next step was scale without burnout. She wanted a proven system, local knowledge, and a team that could run the process end to end.
That is why she chose to work with Joe Martin at Investors Platform.
The aim was clear. Keep her time free. Build income now. Build wealth over the next 10 to 20 years.
Watch this video and see what Sarah has to say about working with Joe.
“Over the last six months, Joe has been incredible. He communicates clearly, found the right deal quickly, and supported me from start to finish. He came highly recommended and did not disappoint.”

I sat down with Sarah to talk through her journey of working with Investors Platform. We went through a full Q&A about her goals, the process, and the results she’s seen so far.
Q&A with Sarah
Q: What was your main goal when you started working with Investors Platform?
A: I wanted to start building a buy-to-let portfolio that could eventually replace my income. But I didn’t want the stress of managing everything myself.
Q: What kind of investment were you looking for?
A: A completely hands-free, stress-free way to invest in property, where someone else handles all the hard work.
Q: What did Investors Platform deliver for you?
A: Joe secured a below-market value deal for me, achieving over 8% yield, and delivered the project completely hands-free.
Q: What work was needed on the properties?
A: Light renovations – including damp rectification, decoration, and remedial work to the kitchen & bathroom.
Q: How involved did you have to be in the process?
A: Not at all. They negotiated the deal, recommended a solicitor and mortgage broker, chased solicitors, managed the refurb, and found tenants. I didn’t even have to visit the property.
Q: What do you now have as a result of the investment?
I now own an asset bringing in £513 per month in rental profit after costs.
Q: What is it forecast to give you over time?
A: Over the next 20 years, this single property is projected to be worth £350,579 and generate £146,965 in net rental income after expenses.
Q: Why didn’t you need to be local?
A: Joe has the team, experience, and contacts to handle everything, including estate agents, solicitors, builders, and tenants, so location didn’t matter.
Q: What difference did using Investors Platform make compared to doing it yourself?
A: It meant I could focus on running my business without worrying about all the moving parts.
Q: How did Joe guarantee results?
A: He uses a tried-and-tested model with an efficient, experienced team. It’s the Investors Platform bread-and-butter approach.
Q: How are you protected as an investor?
A: They’re registered with AML, ICO, and PRS, fully insured, and operate within compliance standards. They even guarantee finding you a suitable property within 90 days or he will give you your initial payment back.
Case Study: Park Street, Lincoln
Park Street is the first property Sarah has acquired through Joe and Investors Platform. It represents the beginning of her journey working with Joe to expand her buy-to-let portfolio in a fully hands-free way.
Looking ahead, Sarah plans to purchase more properties through Investors Platform as opportunities arise, building on the strong foundation set with Park Street.
This single property is set to generate £950 per month in gross rental income, with rents likely to rise in the coming years.
Over 20 years, it is projected to deliver:
Capital growth: £350,579
Net rental income: £146,965
This is the power of a hands-free buy-to-let strategy, backed by proven systems and trusted local expertise.
