😬 It was my first one so I'd forgive you for thinking it was...

A tired 3-bed terrace in need of full renovation:
🏠 Bought: £89,000
🔨 Renovation plus buying fees: £40,000
💷 Total spend: £129,000
📈 End value: £115,000

And it didn't all go to plan. We'd budgeted £30,000 for the renovation and fees.🤦‍♂️Call it a £10,000 lesson...

❌ As a flip project:
A £14,000 loss (before selling costs). Most people would call it a terrible flip... and they'd be right 😅

✅ As a long-term rental:
Money in (deposit, renovation & fees): £62,250
Money back out at remortgage: £19,500
Money spent once all finished: £42,750
Rental profit as 4-bed HMO = £760pcm

That's 21% ROI 📈

The plan was always to convert to a 4-bed HMO and rent long term, not to sell.

The takeaway? 🍕
❌ It's definitely not "an overbudget flip can always be saved by making it an HMO" (I wish it was that easy!)
✅ It's to have a plan, and know your numbers before you buy 📝

Got lucky, for once!

Success in property can often feel like surviving unexpected costs, delays, and paying for other people's mistakes just long enough to make something at the end worth all the risks.

So it was nice when this neglected patch of land next door became a high spec modern home!

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 📉
