If you don’t know the value in a deal then it’s unlikely you’ll make a profit. Paying too much for a property or alternatively selling it too cheaply will make or break a deal, and if you want to be successful you need to learn not to do either. So, let’s think about how to…
Estate Agents (Part 10) Over the last few months we’ve been thinking about where to find our property deals. We’ve covered buy to lets, flip properties and HMOs. As such, we’re now on to serviced accommodation. At its very core essence, serviced accommodation is not dissimilar to buy to lets. The big…
Estate Agents (Part 9) Over the past few weeks we’ve been thinking about property strategies and lately, we’ve been looking at flips. Today, we are going to look at the last sub-strategy in this category which is flips to owner occupiers. If we’re going to flip to owner occupiers, then it’s likely…
Estate Agents (Part 8) Last week we began to think about flips and crucially how to find our flip properties so that we can find deals to sell on for a profit. Now, where you are going to find these properties is going to be largely determined by the type of flip that you’re…
Estate Agents (Part 7) Having explored buy to lets and HMOs, this week we’re going to look at how to find properties to flip. In other words, properties that we can buy and then sell on. So, how do we do this? Do we literally just walk straight into an estate agent’s office and…
Estate Agents (Part 6) We’ve been thinking about how to find our property deals and last week we began to think about HMOs. But, where can we find properties to convert to HMOs? The answer is the same place as where we would find our buy to lets, and that’s at the local…
Estate Agents (Part 5) Lately, we’ve been thinking about how we are going to find our deals and this week, I want to give some thought to HMOs. At a very simplistic level, your HMO is likely to be very similar (physically, at least) to a buy to let. As such, you’re probably going…
Estate Agents (Part 4) We’re still thinking about how to find deals through estate agents and just to recap, one thing which I would definitely recommend (in fact, it’s an absolute “must”) is that you go and physically be present in an estate agent’s office. Really, you should stop by ALL the agents’ offices…
Estate Agents (Part 3) In my blog posts over the past two weeks, we’ve been thinking about how to find great deals through estate agents, and this has prompted a very legitimate question. “How does one actually talk to an estate agent and find properties if they’re pursuing multiple strategies?” For example, it…
How to Find Deals: Estate Agents (Part 1) Over the coming weeks, we’re going to think about how to find the property deals that are right for us. However, before we start thinking about this, we need to give some thought to something which comes first, and that’s what we are really trying to…
