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…

Property Strategies (Part 8) We’ve been thinking about the principal property strategies that we can use in today’s market and this week we are going to think about one of the most exciting property strategies out there – developments. There are many different ways that we can approach a development and they can…
Property Strategies (Part 7) Next on my list of principal property strategies that we can use in today’s market is Rent to Rent. Very simply put, rent to rent is essentially sub-letting.

Property Strategies (Part 3) This week we’re going to think about flipping. At its very core, flipping is all about buying a property as cheap as possible to then sell on and make a profit. Now, one would assume that in order to sell it on at a profit, you might have to do something…
