Interesting episode. Would have been great if you could have down the spreadsheet on the video. No mention of opportunity cost for the extra cash in your pocket (perhaps just using best easy access savings rate). Might also have been interesting for your listener to have the results for the same property but in a LTD company.

Learnt something new about overextending mortgages,Not ever heard on youtube brfore,All very positive.

Hope you're well. I think it worthwhile comparing your residential property returns versus simply following Warren Buffet's advice and buying an S&P 500 tracker (e.g. VUSA.L)? Obviously drip feeding into a financial product is a far simpler life! Meaning no work or hassle or "hatred" of being a landlord, it is much more diverse (i.e. arguably less risk) and can also be income tax and capital gains tax free if held in an ISA or SIPP.

Really interesting discussion, thanks

Really interesting video, thanks for sharing. I like the idea of a block of flats providing a good level of income, without the time intensive necessity of managing a HMO

Great value, thanks for sharing your project, it’s an eye opener!👏

Interesting idea of purchasing the freehold of a block of flats and renovating while tenants are in situ, so paying for hotel accommodation while work is being done. 😅 Enjoyed the storey but I’m not brave enough to do myself

Worth listen too if your thinking of buying a property😇

A well-balanced insight into how Stuart French fell in love with property and started his business. Greta stuff.

Great episode chaps, very thought provoking. I particularly like the building a long-term model that plays on your individual strengths and considers what aspects you enjoy...rather than purely the most profitable. Food for thought 🤔 cheers Simon

Hi chaps, so what are the magic SIC codes we need to ensure we're using for limited companies please if you can share?

cash on cash return is about 21% and 25% for the for the cash and mortgage scenarios respectively but I understand why you are emphasizing raw money put in the pocket. great video it was good to see all of these numbers laid out and your commentary about it

Nice to see you chaps talking for the first time! Linked to your comments about surveying all your land, isn't the term Landlord originated in feudal times and doesn't the term Lord seem somewhat highfalutin if you're both a little reticent to introduce yourselves as managing directors or company founders? Then again "Lord Panda" proudly retains the Lord element. Good fun thank you as always, feels like I'm not alone in me "Doing stuff to do with properties". Cheers Simon

Good to share the reality and pressures, (and glamour), of a fast turnaround on a rental property

Very interesting to hear rates for HMO being so close to mote standard buy to let rates!

Look before you leap! Good question to ask, why are you investing? What are you looking to achieve?

Very relevant, stimulating and flowing conversational style piece to help property investors better understand what's happening right now with financing investments

I had a look at the prices that some of the houses sold for on one of the streets we have a property on (only looking at houses of the same design). In 2006 to 2007 houses sold for £127,500 to £133,250. In 2008 they sold between £112,000 and £119,950 In 2009 they sold between £102,500 to £117,000 It wasn’t until 2014 that a house sold for more than £127,500 again, so it took 7 years for prices to get back to where they were at the peak. So where you buy in the cycle does still matter, even if you’re buying it for a long term investment, because when you come to remortgage, you want the house to be worth more than what it was before, so that it at least pays for the costs involved in remortgaging.
