Mark Lloyd

Mark Lloyd is a serial entrepreneur for the past 40+ years.

Brought up on one of the toughest council estates in England, Mark moved to London at the age of 19 where he entered the banking industry. After 6 years of working for someone else, he decided to leave and become self-employed. Mark considers this big leap as the best decision he had ever made. However, the recession of the early 90’s was a wake up call which caused him to lose almost everything – his home and also his family split up. He was able to avoid bankruptcy but the next few years were tough until he had a chance conversation with his plumber and they decided to set-up a company together. This led Mark to meeting others who joined them, eventually building five companies of which they sold two.

He bought his 1 st investment property in 2005 and hasn’t looked back since. Nowadays he usually does 2-3 property deals per year mostly in finding projects suitable for planning uplift.

In 2012 he founded Property Master Academy in 2012 to help teach and mentor people looking to start or re-ignite their interest in property investing. Mark is passionate about passing on techniques to help others succeed. Through coaching and mentoring, he shares his expertise as well as the pitfalls so people can learn from his experience. Quoted in Yahoo Finance as one of the top 10 Property Investment coaches in the UK and Winner of the Blue Bricks Property Trainer of the year award 2025. Following the retirement of his business partner 3 years ago he now focuses on mentoring a select number of individuals each year.

Five years ago, Mark joined with some international investors to build the world’s first international, multi-currency, real estate crowdfunding platform on the blockchain to help developers worldwide raise money for their projects and at the same time provide investors with a good secure return.

In 2022 Mark founded Max Property Finance, a UK based finance brokerage focusing on all aspects of property investor finance. Due to Mark’s unique qualities of also being an investor and developer he understands better than anyone how to get the deal over the line!
