TPP276: The reality of refurbs: One investor shares his story

Recently we discussed the pros and cons of buying new and buying old.  We tapped into how buying older properties that need refurbishment come with a lot more work and stress; they also can come with a lot more reward.   This episode we talk to an active investor who gives us the realities of refurbing older properties.  We find out what it actually takes to find a property, have some work done and get it rented - and doing it remotely!   NEWS THIS WEEK   It looks like the increase in stamp duty isn’t bringing as much revenue as expected a report suggests.  Could it be that raising taxes can deter buyers?  This sounds like an opportunity to discuss the Laffer Curve Effect!   IF YOU ENJOYED THE PROPERTY PODCAST, PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW ON ITUNES Reviews are really important in helping other people to find the show, so by way of thanks we read out every single review we receive on air.
