Great videos my brother. I went from medical doctor to full time developer in London, and Alhamdullilah it worked well for me. Your videos helped me drastically in my journey. Blessings onto you 🙏🏼

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

That's sounds great! I am glad I was able to help!

[@caamj]

How did you raise the initial finance as a uni student?

Jamie York? 😂 your having a laugh

[@juliegeorge8533]

Wow! Very useful thank-you! Thanks for the term free holder consent - that is exactly what I need as my plan is also to add value on my first rental.

[@07baromo95]

Hi mate, absolutely fantastic work. Top class! Quick q please, when you change a let say 1 bed flat of 50m2 to 2 beds, do you not need to follow the London Floor Space Requirements? If you do, then such a deal would not work right?

[@oatzman213]

This is an excellent video, so many gems! Thank you massively!

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rhysnewton]

When you refinance and the mortgage based on 75% LTV of the new value. Was your mortgage (refinance)on a BTL factored in before buying and refurbing the property so you didn’t lose money on renting it out. Especially with the 6% rates at the moment? Thanks for sharing the information.

[@dcmeteorite606]

Great content 👍 planning to invest in exactly the same way . Quick question How do you get freeholder consent and can it be refused?

[@beyond92five]

Hey Ahmed, did you get BTL Bank mortgage before the refurb and then BTL refinance after refurb? fixed or variable?

[@surabhikothari]

Very informative and such a nice presentation. I have a request: Could you please do a video on free order consent?

[@themsingh1]

Hi Ahmed, great content and no BS. Great to see your success and giving back. I have two BTLs and due to complete on a third. I have sold my residential property and should have around £100k to invest. How would you invest £100k if you were in my position and to make the best return I don't mind risks for high rewards.

[@propfunders]

A lot of properties I'm seeing have the kitchen next to to the lounge (not open plan), would it be advised to change the kitchen into a bedroom meaning the person would need to walk through the lounge to access the single bedroom as there are no halls separating them? It's for a flat.

[@scalpmates]

It would be great if you could show some of the behind the scenes of how you turn a 1 bed flat into a 2 bed. Stuff like how do you get permission, do you need building regs, how do you officially show it as a 2 bed flat? Change deeds? Etc. Is it as straight forward as it sounds or you could buy a 1 bed flat, not be allowed to do that change and be stuck with a 1 bed flat.

[@shiabladerunner3336]

Thanks for the video! how did you get such a low cost for the bridging loan ? £8,806 bridging cost on a 178K property??? Does that £8,806 include the arrangement fee and interest on the loan ?

[@Xodia91]

Hi, Great video brother. Quick question. You mention at the end of the video that this project took 16 months to complete. Does that mean you were making mortgage repayments that whole time?

[@ellaeiveren]

You mentioned refurb financing. I’m assuming you don’t take out cash for the full refurbishment. What refurb financing do you use?

[@minchunlin5535]

very good explanation, this is high leverage investment, just need to leave enough margin of safety for cushion, when the valuation depreciation or the interest rate hiking 😆😆😆

[@123sumom]

Great video

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

Thank you! :)

[@kyracl7318]

Ahmed quick question Do you need planning permission to turn a 1 bedroom into two I can’t find much on this online. If the property is freehold.

[@gwynmorris5852]

I'm listening.

[@darshildholakia6346]

Great video! Had a quick question, why did you have to refinance the property on the new mortgage, could you not have kept the old, lower mortgage (less monthly payments) so you essentially take home more since the rent will still be ~ £1700?

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

but then your capital is tied up in the property and you can't buy more properties

[@TheUnknownNexus]

Ahmed, did you buy this under a limited company? Also is it interest-only mortgage?

[@coolmonkey619]

Do you need proof to get lnpg

[@JackVinall]

Hi Ahmed, quick question. How long did it take to payback your bridging loan? I cant see it included in your initial cashflow costs. Did you take it as a seperate transaction?

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

within 12 months - it should be under finance cost

[@aryankhalid7989]

Bro would you recommend buying a mixed property where its commercial on the ground floor and residential flat on top?

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

I'm doing that now - video coming soon :)

[@aryankhalid7989]

How does the current restricted lending criteria affect your strategy?

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

you just have to find properties which yield better

[@IggySODMG]

khan please we need that budget excel spreadsheet broooo. Have you got a link?

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

[@minimiloe9731]

Great video Ahmed, just one thing I don’t understand (probably just being stupid). When you refinance it, your mortgage payment obviously goes up because the mortgage is higher right? So wouldn’t this mean your cash flow is actually lower now? - in that case, is it still worth refinancing?

[@odysseasv7138]

Well, that’s why you search in advance how much rent to expect and what the monthly payments you your new estimated mortgage will be.

[@pablodoradoo]

Property log doesn't appear for me in the chrome store. Anyone knows why?

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

That's strange - just checked on my end and it's available in the chrome store. Where are you located, btw?

[@pablodoradoo]

@@ThatAhmedKhan thank you so much for your answer I'm currently working at Bulgaria. I have searched it on Google instead of the store and it appears so that's that. I just discovered your channel today and can't wait to watch literally every video I love that you go so much into the numbers and details. That's much better than a classic super broad advice.

[@j.4520]

Hey Ahmed, we’re you working a full time job to prove income when asking for a bridging loan ?

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

no I had another business where I was doing airbnb and that paid me a salary

[@jank4684]

@@ThatAhmedKhanif you don’t have a business on the side but just working a full time job, is it possible to bridge loan?

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

yes 100%

[@shraddhamittal3626]

So,,, effectively you were marketting for LNPG .... Pls Ahmed, be genuine with your KZbin audience.

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

LNPG hasn’t paid me, nor am I getting any affiliate commission. It’s the best way to save money on kitchens so why would I not share that with my audience?
