  • 239 - The 5 HMO Mistakes To Avoid

    Simon delves into the topic of Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and highlights the five big mistakes people often make when dealing with HMO properties. He demystifies HMOs and provide valuable insights on how to avoid costly errors as well as emphasising that HMOs can be a lucrative investment strategy, capable of replacing income in a relatively short period. By debunking common misconceptions, such as the assumption that HMOs are only for experienced investors or that they require substantial upfront capital, Simon encourages listeners to explore the potential of HMO properties. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    There are various types of tenants for HMO properties, including young professionals, working individuals, and those on benefits. Understanding this can help in maximising the potential of HMO investments. While HMOs are considered more advanced, beginners can also venture into this strategy with proper knowledge and guidance. It's essential to focus on the potential profitability rather than solely on experience. Contrary to popular belief, substantial personal funds are not always necessary for HMO investments. Options like private loans, joint ventures, rent to rent, and purchase options can be utilised to finance HMO projects effectively. Instead of competing on price, focusing on providing high-end, co-living HMO properties can attract better tenants, higher rents, and longer tenancies. This approach can lead to increased profitability and reduced void periods.  Many individuals hold back from investing in HMOs due to lack of knowledge or misconceptions. By gaining the necessary training and understanding the strategies involved, one can unlock the potential of HMO investments and achieve significant financial gains.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "HMOs, Houses of Multiple Occupation, is probably one of the fastest strategies for you to replace your income."

    "I think a lot of people are put off doing HMOs because they don't really understand them."

    "The only way you should do that, in my opinion, which is what many of my students do, is they take an HMO, they rent it to a charity who specialises in supporting people who have special needs."

    "I wouldn't say they're easy, because easy suggests there's no effort. There's definitely time and effort required."

  • 238 - Don't Buy In Property Hotspots

    Simon discusses the pitfalls of investing in property hotspots, using Dubai as an example. He emphasises the risks associated with buying in areas experiencing rapid price increases, such as oversupply and lack of positive cash flow. He also shares personal experiences with off-plan property investments and highlights the importance of researching areas with growing populations for better capital growth potential. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Think twice about investing in property hotspots due to the potential risks associated with inflated prices and lack of positive cash flow. Off-plan property investments, especially in international locations, can pose challenges such as oversupply and currency fluctuations. To achieve better than average capital growth, investors should target areas experiencing faster population growth, driven by factors like new infrastructure, incentives, and economic stimulation. In any market condition, there are always motivated sellers willing to negotiate on price and terms, providing opportunities for investors to secure properties at favourable terms.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I believe if you're holding property long term, don't worry about short term blips up and blips down because we're holding long term."

    "I have done it in the past. I have made some money from it. I know a lot of people lose money from it, so you need to be very careful."

    "So what I want to do is teach you how you can get better than average capital growth."

    "Find areas before they become a hotspot by looking for the areas where you're going to get faster population growth and other areas."

  • 237 - Should You Buy with Cash or Mortgages?

    Simon discusses the advantages of buying properties with mortgages compared to buying for cash. He provides numerical examples to illustrate how leveraging mortgages can lead to higher returns and increased cash flow over time. Simon also emphasises the power of using other people's money to invest in property and highlights various creative funding strategies for those with limited capital. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Using mortgages allows for more properties to be purchased, increasing overall cash flow and potential profits. Property values tend to increase over time, especially due to the shortage of accommodation and increasing population. Various methods, such as rent-to-rent, lease options, vendor finance, joint ventures, or loans, can be utilised when running out of personal funds. By leveraging mortgages and multiple properties, the potential return on investment can be significantly higher compared to buying properties outright with cash.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "But what you need to remember is that when you get a mortgage or using someone else's money to buy a property, it means your deposits can go further and your tenants who rent the property from you, they are going to be more than covering the cost of the mortgage."

    "The reality is we live on an island in the UK. There is not enough accommodation. We have the increasing population. So over time, both the rents and property values go up."

    "If you have money, whether it's savings, inheritance, money in your business. It's not doing you any favours sitting in the bank. By putting it into property, not only can you get a much better cash flow, you also benefit from that long-term capital growth."

  • 236 - How To Reduce Your Property Tax

    Simon delves into the crucial topic of tax and how property investors can minimise the amount they pay. The episode covers various types of taxes such as income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax, providing valuable insights on how each tax can impact property investors. Listeners learn about strategies to reduce tax liabilities, including structuring property ownership, utilising tax-efficient company structures, and planning for inheritance tax. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Understanding different types of taxes such as income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax is crucial for property investors to minimise the amount of tax they pay. Utilising strategies like changing the percentage of beneficial ownership in jointly owned properties can help lower tax liabilities, especially for higher rate taxpayers. Section 24, introduced in April 2017, restricts the ability to offset all interest costs on mortgages against rental income, impacting property owners in higher tax brackets. Capital gains tax is incurred when selling a property that is not a primary residence, with the tax rate varying based on the gain from the property's purchase price. Planning ahead to mitigate inheritance tax through careful estate planning and seeking advice from tax specialists can help protect valuable property portfolios for future generations.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Robert Kiyosaki has a great saying, he says, what you know will make you money, what you don't know will cost you money."

    "So, if you would never sell the property, you're never going to pay capital gains tax."

    "I think there'll be even more landlords who might think, you know what? Now might be a really good time to sell my property because I'm going to pay less tax on that gain."

    "So, really important to get some advice and also get a will in place."

    "Generally, for most people moving forward, Buying in a company structure seems to be the most tax efficient way."

  • 235 - Bank Of England Interest Rate Update

    Simon delves into the impact of interest rates on property investing, beginning with the recent decision by the Bank of England to maintain the base rate at 5.25% amidst falling inflation rates. He emphasises the current buyer's market, highlighting opportunities for investors to negotiate favourable purchase prices. Additionally, insights are shared on potential future interest rate reductions and their implications on the property market. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Interest rates have remained high at 5.25%, impacting property investors looking to refinance or buy new properties. The current market is a buyer's market, with more sellers than buyers, presenting an opportunity for investors to negotiate good purchase prices. Advanced property investment strategies like HMOs and service accommodation can still be profitable despite high interest rates. Predictions suggest interest rates may decrease in 2024, potentially leading to a property market recovery by 2025. Landlords may be looking to sell properties in the next six months due to changes in capital gains tax rates, potentially leading to a dip in property prices in 2024.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I think many people are wondering when we're going to see interest rates come down... Some people think we might get a drop in interest rate as soon as May or June."

    "I believe you should be investing all the time, not worrying about short term fluctuations... as long as the property stacks up and makes money for you."

    "I think it's such a great time to be investing... I'm going to be buying probably more property in the next 24 months than I probably have in the last decade."

    "I predict that the beginning of 2025, we're going to see the property market start to really recover... I think we're going to see reductions before that because these high interest rates are struggling or restricting the economy recovery."

    "Remember, only do really good property deals... have courage, get out there, find some great deals."
