The story of a journey inspired by experience

Before 2016
Studies & early career
I pursue law studies, including a year in Los Angeles, before starting my career as a lawyer in Luxembourg. There I work on complex international financial transactions, with the aim of progressing in a demanding environment and discovering the world.
2016
Expatriation to Hong Kong & turning point
Having moved to Hong Kong to join a corporate law firm, I discover a frantic pace and a prestigious working environment. This lifestyle triggers a realisation because I am building no wealth and not enjoying my life. That is where the idea takes root of turning to property investment as a lever for independence.


2017
First property investment
The goal is clear: generate additional income, or even replace my salary. I notice that all the training courses are designed for residents in France. I decide to create my own method, designed for non-residents. I make a first purchase in Nantes: a T1 converted into a 4-bedroom house share of 70 m².
I put €50,000 of renovation works into it and use €2,867 of down payment.
The result: net cash flow of €500 to 600 per month, from the start.
2018
Scaling up
I continue with a second purchase: a 45 m² property, with a modified roof and a created bedroom. An ambitious project, with €150,000 of renovation works, but the value creation is spectacular: more than €200,000 of capital gain on resale.
I follow with a third property, a studio converted into a T1 bis. I invest
€10,000 of down payment and turn it into a short-term rental, generating about
€1,000 of net cash flow per month.


2019
Methodical development
Fourth purchase: a 70 m² house share on the outskirts of Nantes, optimised to accommodate 4 bedrooms. With €2,512 of down payment, I obtain monthly net cash flow of €400.
Then a fifth investment: a 70 m² apartment in a large tower block in Nantes, negotiated at €115,000. Here again, optimisation and profitability are on point, with net cash flow of €1,000 per month.
End of 2019
Results of the first 5 deals
In just a year and a half, I completed 5 property projects. In total: €300,000 of renovation works carried out, cumulative monthly net cash flow of €3,000, and an overall capital gain estimated at over €200,000.
My method is solid, tested, and ready to be passed on.


2020-2024
Diversification & growth
I refine my model and replicate it: studios converted into T2s, creation of floor space, and splits. I move upmarket with more complex deals: creation of units, extensions, strategic resales.
I develop a logic of wealth arbitrage to maximise leverage effects. It is also during this period that ImmoPourExpat is born.
Result: 1,000+ non-residents supported in their property projects.
2025
Maturity & transmission
The figures speak for themselves: more than €700,000 of rent received since 2017, more than a million euros of profit in capital gains, monthly net cash flow between €6,000 and €7,000.
The initial goal is achieved: I now live off my passive income, in complete freedom. My ambition? To pass this method on to expats around the world.

We answer your questions
Here are the answers to the most frequent questions before starting a property project from abroad.
Yes, coming to France is not compulsory. Several members bought without viewing the property themselves, thanks to a relative or the agent’s video, and signed at the notary’s office by video call or by proxy. Others preferred to take advantage of a trip to view properties or meet their bank.
It all starts with a 45-minute call to understand your project. You then access the training, the workshops and the team. You set your goals and your rental strategy, then move forward on your financing and your property search. You remain the borrower and you are the one who presents your application: we give you the method, the templates, your coach’s review and the network’s banking contacts.
There is not really a minimum budget, but solid savings are essential. From what we see, a non-resident who approaches a bank alone is very often asked for a 30 to 40% down payment, plus notary fees. In our members’ video testimonials, the down payment ranges from 0 to 19%, and the majority fall between 7 and 10%.
Yes. No law forbids it: the obstacle comes from the banks and the way of approaching them. Our members live abroad and invest in France, mostly with a loan from a French bank. The answer always depends on your application and the timing.
It depends on your city, your application and the time you devote to it. Among our members, Marie-Lou (Canada) found her property in 17 days, Jérémy (Spain) signed 3 to 4 months after his first contact, Alexandra (London) in 6 or 7 months, and Guillaume (Canada) worked about a year on his project. There is no guaranteed timeframe.
Yes. In the first weeks, you set your goals in figures and your rental strategy, then you carry out the market study of your city using the template provided. The type of property follows from this strategy, depending on your budget and your goals: furnished studio, house share, split into several homes, apartment building or short-term rental.
