FINDING QUALITY TENANTS!!

Here are 5 tips for finding quality tenants:

Establish your target tenant _ Having a clear picture of your ideal tenant is useful when you start marketing your property i.e. stable job, have a guarantor and are looking for a long tenancy. If the letting agent knows what you are expecting from a tenant, you are more likely going to get a good tenant. It is also beneficial having the tenant in mind when refurbishing the property, as different tenants will expect different levels of finish.

Check out your competition _ This falls as part of your appraisal process. Knowing what you are able to rent the property out for should have dictated whether or not you purchased the property. Renting can be competitive and so you need to make sure your property is on the market at a realistic price and refurbished to a certain level, so that you attract your target tenant.

Choose the right letting agent _ A good letting agent understands your needs and target tenant, expressing this in how they market and manage your property. You must be able to trust that they are going to represent you in a professional manner. This can be achieved by researching the local agents in the area, comparing their fees and checking their memberships with redress and accreditation schemes. They will be the ones doing the tenant vetting, so you need to trust they are doing it thoroughly.

Keep your current tenants happy _ If your existing tenants are happy then they will likely choose to stay with you for a long time however, if they do choose to move on you don't want them putting off potential tenants while they are viewing the property. A good trick is to check in with the existing tenants and get feedback on the property, doing this lets the tenants know you care which goes a long way. If there are issues it is good to resolve them swiftly, as they are likely only small however left unchecked can resort in costly problems.

Don't rush into anything _ Finally, it is important not to rush into agreeing with a new tenant if you are not 100% satisfied with the whole vetting process. Take your time and make sure you are happy

BUY TO LET INVESTING🏘

The Buy to Let investment strategy is tried and tested, and although not the most exciting property strategy out there it has proven for decades to be a reliable way of successfully and reliably investing your money.

A simple strategy, if done well can give you a very nice return on your hard earned cash. In order for a buy to let to be successful you need two main components:

DEMAND - The property needs to in an area where there is a high demand for that type of rental property, usually due to its proximity to things e.g. transport links, schools, amenities, leisure facilities etc.

GROWTH - Ideally it will be in an area with local investment and development, which are going to attract more people and so property prices will increase.

There are many other factors to consider when looking for your next buy to let property, but if you find one with these two components you are on to a winner.

KNOW YOUR AREA 🔎

Really understanding the area you are looking to invest in is so important to the success of your property.

Depending on what strategy you are using, investment properties must be in an area where there is demand and or growth potential. And in order to know this you need to analyse and understand your area well.

There are many different variables that contribute to demand and growth, and everybody has their own perspective on what these are. The ways and tools i like to use in order to make my decision on an area include:
- Street Check
- Google Maps
- Google Street View
- & getting out on foot and talking to the local agents in the area.

Let me know how you analyse your target area? What variable do you look for in making your decision?

IF I COULD I WOULD!!🏡

As many of you know, in the current market quality deals can be hard to come by and the ones you do find take time and ingenuity to make them work.

If for whatever reason you can’t add them to your portfolio, whether that be due to finance or time. You can still capitalise on the work and time you have put in by selling the deal onto another investor.

This is a great way of still making money from each deal, but also you are helping other investors get access to these deals.

There are two ways in which this can be achieved, either via sourcing only or packaging the deal on.

Sourcing a deal is simply finding and securing the property at a price which you then sell on to an investor for a (finders) fee.

I take this one step further and fully package the deal on for my investors. Providing an end to end service, means my investors don’t have to do anything apart from signing a few documents and receiving a fully tenanted property at the end.

This has proved to be a very effective service, enabling people who don’t have the time or knowledge to invest in quality investment property deals.

IS IT THE DEAL YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?

Do you find the DEAL or the INVESTOR first?

Having found a property first you then need to go out and find an investor who wants that kind of property to add to their portfolio, which can be tricky as you don't know what people are looking for. It also means you don't really know what you are looking for in the first place.

In my eyes you always need to find the Investor first. By doing this you are able to define the criteria with them, so you are both clear on what is going to be delivered and when you find it you know you have a buyer lined up.

Having a clear criteria and goal is going to save you time and also deliver a much better product to your investors.

And, at the end of the day if you don't have an investor then you don't have a deal!

Let me know in the comments what's more important to you, the DEAL or the INVESTOR.

HOW DO YOU PLAY THE GAME?

Understanding the market and how it moves is an important aspect of property investing. However, I find people spend so much time and effort trying to work out when it is the best time to invest in the market, that they never actually enter the market.

Lots of the world's best investor work on the ethos that "Time in the market is more important than trying to time the market"

So when I get asked the question "Is now a good time to invest in property?", my answer is pretty much always 'YES'. This doesn't mean going out and buying the first property you find, you still need to know what you are doing and have a clear strategy.

But, worrying about entering at the wrong time is likely going to lose you money through in action compared to the market actually turning after you purchase your property.

Let me know how you analyse the market and how much it influences your actions!!
