Key topicsFrom Corporate Career to Property EntrepreneurAfter more than 20 years in engineering and leadership roles at Jaguar Land Rover and GKN, Dan decided to pivot into property to create a career that aligned with his personal goals and values. He speaks candidly about leaving behind the security of corporate life, experimenting with small businesses, and ultimately finding momentum in serviced accommodation and investment deals. For listeners considering a similar shift - whether into property or another entrepreneurial path - Dan offers a real-world view of the challenges, mindset shifts, and opportunities involved in building a business that works alongside, and eventually beyond, a full-time career. Running a Property Business Alongside a Full-Time JobDan has grown a £20K+ monthly revenue stream in serviced accommodation while continuing his full-time career. He shares practical strategies for managing limited hours, prioritising high-value tasks, and using systems and delegation to keep operations smooth. He also helps listeners recognise the signs that it’s time to shift into property full time - and how to make that transition without unnecessary risk. Why Property Growth Doesn’t Require Your Own CapitalMost people assume property investing is locked behind years of saving, but that’s outdated thinking. Dan has built a £20K-per-month serviced accommodation portfolio without relying on his own funds, instead structuring deals through joint ventures, investor finance, and no-money-down opportunities. From turning underperforming rentals into high-yield units to negotiating a 14-acre estate with creative financing, he shows how beginners and seasoned landlords alike can unlock growth without emptying their bank accounts. His straight-talking approach makes the mechanics clear and the results tangible, proving property success is about strategy, not starting cash. View all topics →

Property Investor Specialising in Serviced Accommodation and Creative Deal Structures

20 years Engineering career at Jaguar Land Rover7 Serviced accommodation units£20,000+ Monthly portfolio revenueFounder & CEO Regal Relocations

Dan Norcross is the Founder and CEO of Regal Relocations, a UK-based serviced accommodation provider specialising in housing long-term contractors, business professionals, tourists, and relocation clients. From managing his first rental property to overseeing a portfolio of seven serviced units generating over £20,000 in monthly revenue, Dan has built his success on a straightforward principle: create win-win partnerships between landlords, investors, and guests.

After a 20-year engineering career with Jaguar Land Rover, Dan left corporate life in search of more time freedom, financial stability, and a business that could support his family for generations. He explored ventures from home renovations to running a Cornish butcher shop before finding his stride in property. Within 24 hours of spotting a gap in the contractor accommodation market, he secured the keys to six houses — all unfurnished — and had them guest-ready within weeks.

Today, Dan works with landlords to transform underperforming properties into profitable serviced accommodation, offering guaranteed rent, full management, and the potential for higher yields than standard AST lets. He also partners with investors through creative financing and joint ventures, delivering strong returns while expanding his portfolio without using his own capital.
