Let Us Know How We Can Help

Our Story

Our director, Shannel McNee, started her journey in property while still at university. Instead of following the usual student job path, she found herself working alongside a family member who had built an impressive property portfolio.

One day, after hearing about the challenges of managing multiple rentals, Shannel simply said:

“Why don’t you pay me to do it?”

That casual comment turned into a life-changing opportunity. Over the next 10 years, Shannel learned the business from the ground up, taking responsibility for the management of an entire portfolio. Knowing she’d be seeing this landlord at every family birthday meant failure was never an option.

This mix of personal accountability and industry knowledge became the foundation of Principal Investment Lets.
