That Leeds city centre Airbnb deal looked perfect on paper 👀
Strong demand. Great nightly rates. Prime location.
But then came the hidden cost…
💸 £4,000 per year service charge.
And suddenly, the numbers told a very different story.
This is where a lot of investors get caught out. High service charges don’t just reduce cash flow, they can affect mortgage options, eat into profits, and damage long term returns.
The biggest mistake in property investing isn’t overestimating income…
It’s underestimating costs.
Because profit isn’t what you make, it’s what you keep. 📉➡️📈
