Why Jewish entrepreneurs are turning to structured property investing for financial independence

For many entrepreneurs, financial independence is framed as a business goal. For others, it is deeply personal. Increasingly, members of the Jewish business community are turning to structured property investing as a way to create stability, autonomy, and long-term security for their families.

One such story is that of Faigy Liebermann, a Manchester-based mother of five who spent years building a successful coaching business, only to realise that despite working tirelessly, she had created a job rather than true financial freedom.

Liebermann, who was diagnosed with severe ADHD, had already authored multiple books and trained thousands of students through her coaching programmes. But during the Covid period, a major home renovation left her family with £65,000 of personal debt.

“It felt like a chain around my neck,” she later said. “I had done everything the responsible way. No mortgage, hard work, savings. And yet suddenly, I was exposed.”

Determined that her children would never experience that same pressure, Liebermann began searching for an alternative income model that could operate independently of her time. Her search led her to free online property training delivered by international investor Samuel Leeds, a multimillionaire known for his focus on clarity, structure, and disciplined execution in property investing.

“I was looking for an English version of the principles I’d read about in books,” she explained. “What I found was a clear path that I could actually follow.”

Liebermann joined Leeds’ wider mentoring ecosystem and spent over a year building confidence before completing her first deal. Progress was slow at first. Fear, self-doubt, and the challenge of learning a new skill later in life all played a role.

What changed was her decision to simplify.

Focusing on a single geographic area and a repeatable strategy, Liebermann began acquiring modest properties in Burnley, an area she had initially avoided due to fear of long motorway drives. Within a short period, she secured multiple properties, including an Airbnb investment that now generates consistent monthly income.

In recognition of her persistence, Liebermann was later awarded a Resilience Award within the mentoring community, recognising her determination to push through personal, financial, and emotional barriers.

Faith played a central role throughout her journey.

“Although I practise a traditional form of Judaism, financial independence is essential for me as a woman in my community,” she said. “Anything can happen to a husband. I believe deeply that I must be able to stand on my own feet.”

She credits her faith with helping her maintain perspective during difficult periods.

“My faith connects me to my history, my family, my culture, and to God,” Liebermann said. “Success comes through our actions, but ultimately, it comes from God.”

For Liebermann, being part of a property mentoring environment as a practising Jew was not a barrier but a strength.

“It means I can serve as an example within a broader community of people from many faiths,” she said. “There is space for values, structure, and ambition to coexist.”

Stories like Liebermann’s reflect a broader trend. As economic uncertainty rises and traditional career paths feel less secure, more Jewish entrepreneurs are seeking asset-based strategies that prioritise control, clarity, and long-term thinking over speculation.

Samuel Leeds, whose work has influenced tens of thousands of investors globally, has long argued that property investing is not about speed or hype, but about repeatable systems and education that meet people where they are.

For many, particularly those balancing family, faith, and business, that approach is resonating.

Liebermann now plans to continue building her portfolio steadily, while remaining active in her coaching work and mentoring others who are starting later in life or navigating similar challenges.

“People look at the result and think it was easy,” she said. “But they don’t see the fear, the learning, or the faith it took to keep going.”

For a growing number of entrepreneurs, that combination is exactly what makes structured property investing so compelling.
