I agree, Hands on is the only way to run your portfolio. Don't try to run before you can walk, One property at a time and learn the businness. Thanks for the video.

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

💯💯💯

[@Kamaltweet]

Thanks for the honest numbers and the insights. That's what makes you a great KZbinr. Really appreciate it.

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

Always! Thanks for watching, too!

[@Lyzaaarnew]

Or could you do a video on residential mortgage, ie 5% deposit and how you’d buy, add value, maybe rent a room out / refurb

[@MelanieJosephine]

I am in London- do you know anyone I could help out for free to learn more about this strategy?

[@luciangroza4038]

Great content and great to see the learnings you have taken. I think a 100k profit is a great result considering the challenges you have faced.

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

It is. Thank you!

[@wholesumnutrition2204]

When you say it would only be possible to sell as a block to investors why was it not possible to split the titles for 4 leasehold flats?

[@MrWaterbugdesign]

I retired 21 years ago at 45 by slow flipping houses (the house I live in). I think it's a lot easier in the US. I'm getting house #4 ready to rent for $2500/mo USD while keeping a 1/1 apartment for me to live in when I'm not traveling. I did have 2 houses during the 2008 crash because houses were just so cheap. But basically only 1 property at a time. I do all the work myself which I enjoy. Because I keep a house for 7-14 years there's no big rush to fix it up. That's the difference between having to work like a dog and taking your time and taking as much time as you like off. I also collect salvaged building materials for free to 90% off retail. Kind of a treasure hunt.

[@annalaurissa]

I have been wondering for a while if it is much easier in the US vs UK. UK is safer in comparison and the market seems more stable. On the other hand the 'up and coming' areas in the US sound quite attractive. Either way investing in the US from Europe would be a bit of a challenge. Thanks for your input :)

[@rikardsaje]

Good work mate👍. Sounds like you've got a good routine going there. I'm 48 and semi retired with a few BTL'S and a couple businesses. I work about 1 day a week but not flat out and it's all on my terms. I'm renovating my own house atm but doing it at my speed which is much more enjoyable than rushing. I use to work hard and it didn't really get me anywhere. Anyway I just liked the way you've explained your achievements 👏

[@mkyuen8349]

Great video as usual. Can you elaborate more about the step to apply for planning permission? Do you apply before or after completion of purchase?

[@troisxa]

God bless you

[@WxM3008WxM]

Really like your videos. It's fantastic what you're doing and how you are sharing tips for free. Two things concern me. Firstly, the tax man. Anything you make a big fat chunk disappears. Secondly, how to do this in a shariah compliant way without paying hefty interest to funders. If you could respond that would be great. W

[@martan769]

Did you consider that the planning would not be granted to you? What was your plan B?

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

This particular property already had planning for two flats. Normally I wouldn’t exchange on a property until I have planning but in this case by the time I exchanged I was pretty certain I was going to get planning because the plan is it told me I would get planning if I had made a couple of amendments to my plan.

Hi Ahmed Thanks for some good content which is highly relevant to me specifically. I'm looking to buy a place Stevenage to live in at the moment and add some value to. I've got some experience and am a DYI type guy but would love to pick your brain a bit seeing as though you have some local knowledge and we are a similarage. Let me know if you would be up for that? Steven

[@chrystal173]

I have money for a deposit on a mortgage but I can’t decide if I should buy to SA or HMO. (I want to expand to do rent to SA on more properties as I expand my portfolio anyway). Do you have any advice?

[@TokShogun]

I reckon with your knowledge if you were to invest up north with much better yields and also capital growth these days you could 2x your journey.

[@JakeBM4]

Great, channel. Your a very knowledgeable guy. I like how you throw in the statistics, it's not just your opinion. Sorry to hear about the obstacles in this deal, but you still made it work. Forecasts look positive. I'm currently saving with monzo at 4.5% better returns than BTL, especially as assett value is going down in the short term.. The BoE forecasts surprised me, I had hoped rates would been closer to 3.5% by the end of next year. Oh well...

[@Andy5c]

What's the min flat size? Looks like on your Plans 37sq meters but I thought it was higher than that closer to 50?

[@doug2279]

One thing wrond in your calc is that condition will decline in this period so rents may not rise as much as will go from new property to slightly worn property! Not a great deal but a big deal and a great video

[@brebnerrenovations432]

Enjoyed the honesty in this video Ahmed. Thanks for putting it together. Do you need to put down a deposit on a mortgage like this or do the properties act as the deposit?

[@jamalhussain7882]

Quality content as always.

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

Thank you!

[@nemiwoghiren]

Great video! I went through a simiar experience.

[@asatoraegames4533]

Stamp at 3% on 250k and 8% thereafter is nearer 35k. Was there any overlap between this purchase and the SDLT holiday?

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

It was mixed use so it’s not normal resi stamp :)

[@opentrail]

another great video Ahmed. Like the #flexispot desk - searching for deals and a way to add value takes a lot of time, and it's good to be able to change position. I think one other aspect of going into property is that you need a lot of completed projects to get reasonable cash flow to generate a salary for yourself to continue investing in property. Coming back to the UK from abroad it's also difficult to get financing with no credit profile even though you might have the cash for no loan.

[@rina8208]

Inspirational !!!! @ahmed Khan, u have a copy cat on you tube and I mean he copies everything about your channel lol

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

Really? I'll check!

[@jayeezy7410]

[@PropertyCouple]

Really great video Ahmed. Loved it

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

Thanks guys!

[@rikardsaje]

Great video and you've shown that there's more than one way to skin a cat. Top job👏

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

Thank you!

[@kidoseven]

Low return yet high risk deal. Enjoyable video, horrid returns though.

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

It will be a good long term hold

[@kidoseven]

@@ThatAhmedKhan yeah it's a great asset and property 👌

[@swamibrahmavadin5234]

Thanks for transparency!

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

Always!

[@andersnielsen6044]

But no one can have a decent life with only £2900 per month..

[@billybounce5219]

Which is why most landlords have multiple properties. 1 property won’t make much but imagine 4 or 5, increased cashflow = passive income = make money without doing anything

[@andersnielsen6044]

@@billybounce5219 Only in countries where the tenants has no rights. In modern countries the job of the Landlord/owner is not a passive income, not even close. Btw of course you can invest in properties in-directly thru' funds and such, but then your roi will be much lower. I have 4 properties my self with 6 individual homes, and I spend aprox 10 hours/week, more intense when people move in and out and with bigger improvements and renovations. ;)

[@aliarshad3983]

Good work!

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

Thank you mate!

[@jerryyemane1459]

Amazing as always

[@ThatAhmedKhan]

Thanks mate!

[@Lyzaaarnew]

Without getting a bridging loan, how would you get the capital for a 25% deposit? That’s the hard bit In todays world

[@indiaserver5647]

You can find investors for 25%

[@rikardsaje]

Start small.

[@jamesbeadle93]

You can find plenty of investors if the deal stacks. I've raised £400,000 in cash just through Facebook status. All of them were ex colleagues of mine who i would never have thought of.
