  • 271 - Should You Invest In Student Property?

    Simon explores the question of whether investing in student property is a wise decision. The discussion highlights two distinct types of student accommodation: traditional houses converted into Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and purpose-built student blocks.

    Simon examines the importance of location, quality, and understanding the academic cycle when investing in student properties

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    There are two main types of student properties: traditional shared houses (HMOs) that can be a good investment, and purpose-built student accommodation, which is generally not recommended due to various limitations. Successful student accommodation should be located close to universities and maintained to a high standard. Properties that are too far from campus or not well-kept tend to struggle with occupancy. Timing is crucial when investing in student properties. Many students start looking for accommodation in January or February for the following academic year, so it's important to have properties ready well in advance. Beyond students, properties can be repurposed for young professionals or other types of tenants, providing flexibility and potential for higher returns if the student market is oversaturated. Investing in purpose-built student accommodation can lead to high costs, limited exit strategies, and potential issues with long-term value. Traditional HMOs offer better opportunities for capital growth and tenant stability.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "There are two different types of student property, one of which I would not touch with a barge pole, and you should not invest in that type of student property, in my opinion."

    "It's got to be very high accommodations. Don't think student accommodation is a slum alternative, not very good accommodation. Absolutely not."

    "If you buy a purpose-built property like this, you are paying a very high price... you're paying far more than the bricks and mortar value."

    "Investing in a purpose-built student accommodation block is probably better than doing no investment at all, but I think it's a little bit of a lazy way to invest."

    "When you set it up correctly, student property can be very hands-off. It's not as intensive as another HMO where you see the tenants turning over a bit more often."

  • 270 - How To Find Cash Investors

    Simon discusses the essential topic of finding cash investors for property deals. Emphasising the importance of mindset, he highlights how successful investors leverage other people's money to maximise their investment potential, and addresses common concerns, such as why someone would lend money and the misconception of not knowing anyone with funds. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    A successful investment journey starts with the right mindset. Believing in your ability to attract investors and understanding that you can help them make money is crucial. Friends, family, and work colleagues are often the best sources for potential investors. Sharing your property investment journey with them can open doors to funding opportunities. Attending property networking events and training sessions is vital for meeting potential investors. Building relationships in person helps establish trust and credibility. Instead of directly asking for money, share what you are doing in property investing. This approach can lead to conversations about potential investment opportunities without the discomfort of a direct request. Actively sharing your property investment activities on social media can attract interest from people who may want to invest. Being visible and known in your community and online is key to raising funds.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "The secret is that most successful investors will use our money and we use other people's money."

    "Instead of going to someone with kind of empty hands as if you're begging, how about you go to them coming from a place of opportunity?"

    "You need to change the circle of people with whom you are spending most of your time."

    "Your net worth is your net worth."

  • 269 - How Much Do You Need To Invest?

    Simon addresses a common question among aspiring property investors: how much money is needed to start investing in property?

    Simon highlights that the required investment can vary significantly, from those starting with no money to those with substantial funds.He also examines the importance of resourcefulness over cash, exploring various funding strategies such as releasing equity from existing properties, utilising business profits, and leveraging pensions. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    The amount of money needed to invest in property varies widely. Some individuals start with no money, while others may have substantial funds but still feel it's not enough. It's essential to understand that resourcefulness can often be more critical than having a large sum of money. There are multiple ways to fund property investments, including releasing equity from existing properties, using retained profits from a business, leveraging pensions (like a SAS), and utilising other people's money. Building relationships with those who have capital can create win-win situations. Strategies such as deal sourcing, rent-to-rent, and purchase lease options can be effective for those starting with little or no money. These methods allow individuals to generate income and build credibility without needing significant upfront capital. Investing in personal development and education is crucial for becoming a successful property investor. Paid training programs often provide structured learning and access to networks of potential investors, which can accelerate the journey to achieving financial goals.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "A lack of money is not a lack of resource, but actually a lack of resourcefulness."

    "When you invest in yourself, when you back yourself, you become more investable."

    "You make the money buying, not managing."

    "If you have £10,000, you could get a good number of options... enough to maybe replace your income."

    "Every month you don't have £10,000 coming in, it's an opportunity cost."

  • 268 - Should You Buy Or Wait?

    Simon discusses the current state of the UK property market and whether now is the right time to buy or wait. With recent budget announcements from the Labour government, including changes to capital gains tax and an increase in stamp duty for second homes, Simon highlights the implications for both buyers and sellers. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    The UK property market is currently a buyer's market, with more sellers than buyers, making it an advantageous time for potential buyers to negotiate deals. Recent budget announcements did not increase capital gains tax rates, which may encourage more sellers to enter the market. However, the increase in additional stamp duty from 3% to 5% for second homes and investment properties could deter some buyers. The Bank of England has reduced the base rate to 4.75%, and if inflation remains low, further rate cuts may occur. This could influence buyers' decisions, but waiting for lower rates might lead to increased competition in the market. Now is an opportune time to look for properties, as many sellers are motivated to finalise sales before the end of the year. Buyers can take advantage of this by securing deals quickly, even if the completion occurs in the following year.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Now, I think a lot of buyers might think, you know what, now might be a good time to sell my property."

    "Now is a great time for you to be looking for properties, not only because there's not much competition, but also because the sellers psychologically want to get a sale agreed."

    "If you wait until rates have come down... there'll be more competition for the great deals."

    "It's a great way of making cash flow on properties you don't actually own using purchase lease options and locking in a price."

    "While other people are reeling from the shock of having to pay 5% stamp duty, now is a great opportunity for you to get out there and find some really good deals."

  • 267 - Post Budget Investing

    Simon examines the recent Labour government budget, marking the first in 14 years, and its implications for property investors. He highlights unexpected decisions regarding capital gains tax and stamp duty, revealing how these changes could influence the property market.

    Simon also looks at the potential for increased rental rates due to a decrease in available rental properties as landlords exit the market. Additionally, the episode explores the concept of purchase lease options as a strategic investment approach, allowing investors to control properties without immediate purchase, thus capitalising on market opportunities. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    The Labour government did not increase capital gains tax rates for residential property, contrary to expectations. Instead, they aligned the rates for other assets with residential property rates, which could lead to increased revenue from non-residential assets. With a potential decrease in the number of rental properties available due to landlords exiting the market, there may be a rise in rental rates. Increased minimum wage could also enable tenants to afford higher rents, despite concerns about unemployment. The unexpected increase in stamp duty to 5% for property investors may initially deter some buyers, but it presents an opportunity for those willing to adapt. Investors can negotiate harder and find good deals as competition decreases. Utilising purchase lease options allows investors to control properties without immediate purchase, avoiding the 5% stamp duty and enabling profit generation through rental income. This strategy can be particularly beneficial in the current market conditions. The current economic climate, including potential decreases in mortgage rates and the ongoing supply-demand imbalance in the housing market, presents significant opportunities for property investors willing to take action, especially in the last months of the year.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I was wrong about capital gains tax... the Labour government have not changed the capital gains tax rates for residential property."

    "What this means is there's probably going to be a fall in the amount of rental property available, which is going to cause a bit more of a shortage."

    "There will be a bit of time where people think, 'Oh, I'm not sure if I really want to invest in property,' but eventually, that's going to happen."

    "We can help them earn more money than they would if they sold and put the money in the bank."
