What Tricks we use to buy and control property

Here are some creative strategies to get control and buy properties in the UK:

1. Diversify Your Property Portfolio:

Spread your investments across different types of properties (residential, commercial, HMOs) and locations to minimise risk. Fruit bowl!

2. Commercial to Residential Conversions:

With the rise of online shopping, many commercial properties are vacant. Converting these into residential units can be highly profitable. You can then either sell on to profit take or rent for cashflow and hold to increase capital.

3. Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs):

We invest in HMOs and they can yield higher rental income compared to single-family homes. BUT this strategy has multiple aspects / complexities - be clear on what you want to achieve:

• Who are your tenants - LHA, Students, Professionals

• Location - Key city or secondary locations

• A4 area or not

• Mini mo / up to 6 / Sui Genris

  
  

4. Holiday Homes / Serviced Accommodation:

Buying properties in popular tourist destinations and renting them out on platforms like Airbnb can generate significant returns. Again there is also another side where you can offer accommodation to contractors, local businesses on longer term basis.

5. Buy-to-Sell or often know as flipping

Purchase properties that need renovation, improve them, and sell them at a higher value.

You can also :

• Rent to rent

• Deal source

• Auction specific buys - the route you find

• The ways to control can be Delayed completion, vendor finance, Lease options

• the list is endless....

lots of ways to get in to the property market and generate returns.

The key part is what you ultimately want to deliver - Cash, profit or asset build.

Each strategy has its own set of risks and rewards, so it's important to choose the one that aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
