Best of luck with your investment. Personally I can’t wait to get rid of my last property having had five at one time. Those trips to B&Q will be never ending. In your figures where is your budget for EPC, Fixed wiring electrical check, gas checks and service costs, smoke and Co2 checks carried out by the letting agent, quarterly property inspections, re-decorating and letting fees when tenant moves out each year and so it goes on with new legislation coming along every year. Water checks next I understand. Sorry if I sound a bit negative but I think the good times have long gone for landlords.

Thank you for calling this out. I have just purchased a property from a landlord so got to understand my home as an ex-rental. Mitch has vastly under estimated the costs, which I would be extra surprised about this endeavour if he's not already a home owner. But, judging by the Audi and Lotus he has something (or someone) paying the bills.

Been thinking about dipping a toe in these sometimes treacherous waters. Been offered a deal by a family business that locates, refurbs and tenants and property before selling on to the investor and rents (6%, they get 2%) are guaranteed plus any refurbs needed in first 3 years. Sounds champion. Except a bit or research immediately shows that the sell on price to the investor is upto 20% over market value. So they are immediately taking out any future increase in value. One example is a 3 bed house they want 77k and in the same street is a property at 60k with a sitting tenant who has been there 12 years.

5.59% rate is huge Mitch ! waaw 111.30 interest on 391.30 represents 28%. Either you found a good opportunity either you over estimate the rent. The viability of this investment is made by the fact that you bring 25%. I would never pay 850 pounds/month for 1 bed apartment except in London in UK to be fair. it's like throwing money by windows..
@marcmark6374 Жыл бұрын
I am not saying it's a bad investment, not at all, it's fine. I mean from the renter view, it looks so obvious that they can do the same operations instead of throwing so much money by windows. I ve got a fixed rate of 1.3% on 20 y for info by bringing 2% only.

@@jonathantennantphotography2869 well it's like paying 2 times the price at this rate. it's not a real problem for Mitch because it's the renter that pays. In the case of 15%, it's like you pay back 3 times the appartment to the bank. The question of interest rate applied might change easily your cash flows.

Also, I noticed your msaintenance for taps/leaks is 41 quid per month, you can go to British Gas for unlimited call outs for leaks on taps, toilets, blocked drains inside and outside your home for around 180 per year.Or that plus home electric and the boiler breakdown cover and the entire central heating (radiators) for at least 300/400 per year which is still LESS than your maintaintence you put aside for taps.

I’ve just had a look at your figures, and you seem to not have included. Voids ground rent and service charges. I’m guessing that you will not make a profit in year one. You will, however, make a profit as interest rates go down. Whenever that happens. Where you make money on property is when you remortgage if your figures are correct here. Then I personally would sell all my buy to let’s straight away.
