Happy Monday guys! 3 months into being a landlord has flown by so I thought i'd share an update. As you may have noticed by the change in background, i'm also moving house currently and using a temporary setup until I move into my new place, so bare with me as it's not the most visually appealing setup! Also, for any new, existing or aspiring landlords here is a great tool called Lendlord that I use that helps me manage my property and assess other investment opportunities too: lendlord.io/sign-up-page-uk-mitch-investing

To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.

Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.

I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality. My portfolio has grown by more than 5 figures within just a year, and i have entrusted my advisor with the task of determining entry and exit points.

Good fortune with your investment Mitch. At 37 I've got 4 mates who had buy-to-lets. 2 or 3 beds in the Midlands. They are all selling up and getting out of the game. The way you pay income tax on revenue not profit, issues with tenants and their ever increasing rights, capital gains tax allowance decrease, rising letting agent fees, repair costs increasing, increased mortgage costs etc etc. Many felt the stress and work not worth it. But again, good fortune to you. I hope it proves lucrative. Plus smart move on the Ltd company. I advised my friends to do this, but they didnt want the complexity of returns etc.
@MitchShoesmith10 ай бұрын
Thanks mate! Yeah I think that’s where having the Ltd co model works best, and can still work, whereas the personal name model perhaps doesn’t work as well nowadays because of the tax changes etc… I think the way I’ve got mine structured with one business funding the buy to let business is fairly sound as things stand 🤞🏼
@King_Harrold10 ай бұрын
@@MitchShoesmith certainly. It's not the passive buy, forget and benefit model it was for the last 15 years. You've got to run it as a business and play the game. I'm hoping to buy a commercial property in my SiPP .but you need greater equity as you can only mortgage 50% of the pension fund value.

Hi Mitch great channel and best of luck with your 1st BTL. You make an interesting point on pensions. These shouldn’t be overlooked and very tax efficient tool for building wealth. Had you put your £36k in a SIP invested in an S&P ETF for example with an average annual return of 9% you’d have a £530k after 30 years. You should consider both options 😉
@MitchShoesmith7 ай бұрын
Hey! Yeah for sure you make a great point, the SIPP is something I’ve discussed with my accountant, I’ll definitely be considering doing both. The aim is to get another couple of properties and then I’ll likely go back to my bread and butter of long term investing in the stock market instead, depending on how things play out of course!

It all sounds good, but the maths based on what you show doesn't add up to over 8%. Additionally, there is no mention of any mortgage or maintenance fees. It would be good to see the actual income after all initial and ongoing expenses are taken into account.

Hey Mitch, I have been curious about starting my own side business whilst working full time and have been worried about the tax side of things. So if you register a ltd company and keep the money earned in that account, does that mean you do not get slapped with a big tax bill?! It is all new to me and not sure where to properly read up on it
@MitchShoesmith10 ай бұрын
Hey Joe. Yeah essentially because I keep all the money in the business account I only pay corporation tax. If I were to start paying myself as an income from the business, I’d then get hit with a tax bill for income tax. Tax rates are slightly lower on dividends, and you do have a tax free dividend allowance but I think it’s only about £500 a year now. You can find some good info on the gov.uk website.
