Residential Investors perhaps we need to stop getting so creative?

SIGN UP For the December webinar HERE I float this question because there is always so much buzz around the next creative strategy… HMO’s, which are a product of the private investment market and have been picked up and ran with by small time investors thinking they are about to make a quick buck… when over the years legislation and increased health and safety (which is necessary) have decreased net yields. SA’s whereby investors, excited to get nightly prices rather than monthly prices, oversaturate the market without thinking about offering a quality product, give up after a few months because they aren’t seeing the ‘nice’ income streams they want. Rent 2 rent… glorified property management The list goes on. Instead sometimes it really is easier to think about property investment simply. You buy a property and offer good quality long term lets. Now, I’ll warn you, that doesn’t mean you get to sit on your laurels and just count the cash. No, instead you need to be proactive, focus on bringing your property along with the times, maintain it well, look to the future with sustainability… this is where you will see an asset that works for you throughout the test of time. So this week, I’ve invited Sam Coleman, NCRE’s residential surveyor onto the podcast! He believes whole heartedly in regular BTL’s and the power that they bring to your portfolio. Sam is an expert in sustainability as well so has some top tips for how he is managing his property portfolio in this market PLUS where he is buying and will be buying in the future to keep continued growth. Want to find out more, listen to this weeks podcast.
