Where to start when looking for a new investment area 🤔

I've talked before about Strategy being first. Second, the town or city must have strong Fundamentals.

Fundamentals are:
1️⃣👷‍♀️🕺👔 Strong employment opportunities on the doorstep, or at least good connections to strong employment opportunities. (Yes dancing can be a job)

2️⃣ 🚆 Strong transport links. Think a well connected train station and/or major roads to nearby towns/cities with strong employment opportunities.

3️⃣ 🏘 High volume of properties, i.e. large population, i.e. again: towns and cities. Even if a small village is well connected, the demand from people looking for properties here is likely small, risking large void periods between tenancies.

✅️ Bonus: Significant investment planned in the area, be it new jobs, improved transport or regeneration.

We're currently busy looking for the next HMO or small development opportunity in areas with strong Fundamentals. Reach out if you're interested in knowing more about working with us 🤝

One of the many examples of unexpected costs.

This studio room has to be 14sqm. It was on the plans. But then, a wall had to move a bit here, the ensuite had to move a bit there, and in the end it measured 13.5sqm 😬

I've never had a HMO officer actually measure a room size. They usually go by how it looks and feels...... until now 🤦‍♂️

Planning delays and increasing build costs can usually be covered with a sensible contingency, but some costs seem to just come out of nowhere!

Higher (potential) rewards always come with higher risks.

Lesson: next time, make the rooms larger. Despite the architect telling you it'll work out.

(In reality, even though the officer said to rip it all out, we'll probably be allowed to simply remove the cooking facilities - there's nothing against having cupboards and worktop - and the room will rent for ~£500pcm instead of ~600pcm)

Property investors risk being pulled in all sorts of different directions by the various opportunities out there: flip projects, ready-to-let BTLs, social housing, property sourcing, rent-to-rent, HMOs, holiday lets, planning gain / land developments, and more.

So how do they avoid running around in circles and being a victim of the dreaded "shiny penny syndrome"?

They use a Framework: 👉 SAP

1. Strategy
2. Area
3. Property

1️⃣ Strategy first:

On one end of the scale are the strategies requiring no capital and lots of time. On the other end are the strategies requiring lots of capital and minimal time. All strategies sit somewhere along on the scale.

Extremely busy with a demanding yet high paying job? Ready-made BTLs are probably for you. Unemployed with no savings? Property sourcing would be a good fit. Do you need monthly income, or is the goal to build capital?

Your goal defines which strategy you go for.

2️⃣. Area is second:

Once you know your strategy, you can identify locations that actually support it: if you decide you're going to do high-end flip projects for capital growth, you need to be in afluent areas, not a town where the cost of the renovation is more than the property value! And if you're going into this full-time you have more time to travel further affield than the person who works full-time pursuing the same strategy.

3️⃣. Property comes last:

Only now is it time to analyse specific properties and book viewings. Now you're only looking at properties which you've filtered - properties in areas which fit your strategy.

People starting out will often do this backwards — viewing a property which "looks like a bargain", and trying to force a strategy onto it, or end up building a monster that clashes with their goals.

SAP is great because it provides a clear, logical framework, avoiding confusion, overwhelm, and analysis paralysis.

Don't shoot the messenger 😬

Bit controversial I know given the always-hot political topic, but seeing prices in their gold equivalent helps us understand what money really is. Gold was always supposed to be the real money.

The paper and coins (and now pixels on a screen) were only ever supposed to be an IOU.

Printing more paper money makes prices seem like they're shooting up 📈 but really it's the currency value going down 📉

Before 🏚➡️🏡 After

Probably one of my favourite examples, partly because it's easy to tell from the layout that it's the same room, but mainly because it was such a state!

It's essential when scoping out a potential project that you are able look past the dated decor, the clutter, and the smell!

1️⃣ Historic long-term growth. Yes crashes happen, but if we're holding for the long-term we don't need to worry about market downturns.

2️⃣ Two streams of investment returns: income and capital growth. Stocks and shares tend to only produce returns via growth of the asset value, whereas in property, you get that PLUS a monthly profit. High proft margins from HMOs alone tend to produce high investment returns, before even considering any capital growth potential.

3️⃣ Leverage: the power of borrowing money. It may seem counterintuitive but when borrowing is cheaper than the returns available, the math checks out: if a property income pays for the cost of the borrowing, and leaves you with a surplus, how many should you buy? The answer: as many as possible.

Strategy: buy and hold for as long as possible! 📈

Investing is about understanding risk, not avoiding it.

Anything you do with your money comes with risk – including doing nothing:

Cash in the bank feels safe, but when inflation is shrinking it at a faster rate than it can grow, that doesn’t seem like the best move.

Investing requires you to identify risks, quantify them, and mitigate them as best you can:

⚠️ Not sure if the roof will need changing? Price it in.

⚠️ Building delays? Add a holding cost contingency

⚠️ Not sure if it’ll sell? Have an exit plan B: Make sure its costs will be covered as a rental.

⚠️ Have no clue about x, y, or z? Pay someone to advise.

Sure you can price in every possible worst case scenario unfolding, but doing that you’ll probably price yourself out of the opportunity!

I consider the most LIKELY scenario more so than the worst case, and go somewhere in between.

Thing will go wrong, they always do 😊
