In reply to the original question - You make money in a variety of ways, buying to rent, buying to develop, flipping, getting options etc.. etc...

Property is like any business, put the hard work...

In my experience do not bother. I took the police to court for a door and the judge basically said 'the police were exercising a warrant which they have every legal right to do'.

Unless you can...

Sounds good in fairy tale land but unfortunately we live in whats called the 'real world'. If you choose to listen to some moron talking garbage and taking your investment strategy from what garbage...

Yes agreed with above. Too many sharks trying to cash in. Steer well clear

£701.61 was price in fact, thought I better check as it seemed cheap!! Supply only of course

You really want the damp company to treat the rot as this is a bit of a specialist job and will come back to haunt you if not done correctly. Replacing the wood is not good enough you really need...

Hi. If you have more that 5 properties you will be best to apply for a commercial loan rather than any kind of mortgage. Any financial advisor should be able to help, rates are about 3-4% above...

yeah just follow them on facebook and u will get all the updates on progress against the banks

is very hard to spin a few at the minute in the areas I am operating in, easier said than done

Hi. Well now we all know the banks are immoral - washing money for drug cartels, fixing libor rates, ripping off SME's(IRSA mis selling), ripping off everyone (PPI). Try joining bullybanks, a...

In my opinion I would not bother. 1. you will be surprised at how much valuations are being knocked down by. 2. most portfolio lenders are only doing 60% interest only or 65% repayment so it will be...

I have done the survey but agree very open ended questions and not really relevant to differences between stocks and housing, more just why did you invest? How have things changed?

Jeez this is seeming complicated, I thought it may be. The AST was in the lead tenants sole name but his family were living with him, I gave the notice in the first 4 months but only served the...

Hi Ad1. The advantage of commercial finance in my opinion is that you do not have to keep looking for new deals every few years, you can sort out 20 year deals from the start, this saves...

Hi. I have a tenant that has went to prison, the AST is in his name. I have served a section 21 on his wife and adult kids as there has been excessive damage to the property and rent has not been...

A rent amnesty? Are you serious. I still haven't got the first down payment for a Lamborghini yet lol. No but seriously I let good tenants off with stuff all of the time but from my experience...

sorry buns I did post reply, not sure if you seen it but it was removed as there can be no kind of advertising on the forum. You will just have to do a few more posts and then you can private...

Hi Buns. I currently work with some investors doing joint ventures if you are interested? We have been achieving the kind of returns you are looking at, even better mainly. It may be of interest.

Haha yes too many people watching homes under the hammer!

Hi Izzy. No very low risk I feel but I take on projects that require a lot of work/build. Most people are put off by this and I can add a lot of value by managing the work myself. Additionally I...

If you plan to leave your kids these properties when you die then this could well be the best way. To hand over profit though you do not need a company you can use your kids personal allowance by...

That's your return on capital employed in my opinion.

Honestly I am not worried about UC, it is already failing in the pilots. I operate on about 50% DSS and can change it in the areas I am in. I will take bigger deposits or let to working only there...

Yes I realise this but we like working with DSS tenants as long as the returns are there.
