Great videos and enjoyed this as you keep the lingo simple. I’m looking at investing in 2 years but educating myself best first through books and videos and possible courses, I already do Stocks and shares, it payed my family house deposit. What hit home with what you said and ‘Rich Dad poor dad’, currently where I live there’s huge Amazon development plans (a village!) with much protesting from local MP’s but moving with the times it’s about turning it into an opportunity. It will create jobs and infrastructure.

in Oldham there are certain areas which require you to have a landlord licence from the council even for vanilla BTL's. These tend to be in the more deprived parts of the town such as OL8 areas, Greenacres, St.mary's plus others.

Great suggestion!

[@christopherblanchard2099]

I am interested in investing in Lincoln. It was very big for student HMO 15+ years ago but I know that has gone due to Halls of Residence being established (local estate agents have corroborated this). There is still employment for a lot of foreign workers in factories I understand and nurses require accommodation. Interestingly one estate agent blackballs certain demographics and will not entertain buy to let/HMO with them (they didn't) specify. My letting agent (I'm renting on a new area due to work) says they avoid Lincoln due to a lot of local red tape from the local council. What are your thoughts. A lawyer friend of mine suggested York due to that abundance of students. Additionally both these cities are touristy. What are your thoughts?

Bar my use of KZbin, I'm abit oldschool. I don't do social media and I'm interested in your mentoring aspect as I've been through a recent marital separation and the family home was sold in which we got a fantastic return, so it wasn't that bad of a kick in the teeth. Which means I have "spare" cash to start investing alongside purchasing a property for myself to live. I have zero experience of this "world" of property/investment. I did delve into shares afew years back made a profit but nothing to shout about just wished it would of been bitcoin at that time.

[@roksanaswiderska5748]

Hi Jamie! Greta content! It motivates me to plan for the future and gives hope. What do you think about investing in Liverpool, Lancaster, Preston areas? Blackpool is also a big question for me. Its reputation is not so great, but currently there is a huge demand for rental properties in more decent areas. Also a lot of demand for properties near to the hospital (as agency and locum staff struggle to find accommodation). I am a junior doctor myself so I can see me colleagues struggle. Worth to consider as an investment plan? It would perhaps be HMO and temporary accommodation.... Have you got any thoughts on that?

[@JamieYork]

Blackpool is good for serviced accommodation (I've been told) Liverpool is a good area for BTL also!

[@JamieYork]

Interesting!

[@garybrooks541]

Hi. I am a newbie so forgive my naivety. I bought a house in one of the aeas where the HS2 will stop (if it does happen). It affected the house I was buying because the surveyor said it wasn't worth the money it was being sold for because of the HS2 plan.. I had to pay for a separate survey which showed the HS2 would be 600 metres away from the property. It had a negative affect on the property. I guess if the property is close to the line it's going to have a negative impact on the property due to noise. You believe this is incorrect?

Is this also the case if the council is announcing this: "Covering an area of over 270 hectares, it includes eight major catalyst projects that aim to create 21,000 new homes and 6,000 jobs, giving XXX a new lease of life." Is this plan not dangerous for an investor as the new houses becoming new competitors for our own BTLs in the future ?
