Why people fail at Property Investing

[@francissaunders4050]

Always get "landlord's boiler insurance." It costs roughly £17 a month for zero excess, including unlimited call outs, parts and labour for the boiler and central heating system including all radiators. Or, if you want more certainty regarding monthly costs, for around £30 a month you can also cover the boiler, central heating system, electrics, drains and all plumbing. These kinds of cover do not effect your regular buildings and contents insurance no matter how many claims you make. The biggest mistake I made in property was not calculating the true maintenance costs, which can be very, very variable. I would recommend that you take insurance at least for the boiler. This cover will usually also include £750 to replace the boiler, if it can't be fixed. It's much easier to factor in £17 a month, rather than take a chance on a very, very expensive boiler problem, especially as tenants have a legal right to stop rental payments if they have no hot water and no heating for a prolonged period of time.

Great advice!

[@francissaunders4050]

@@JamieYork Thanks Jamie, your shows are incredicbly informative and also a lot of fun to watch. There's one nagging question in my mind: When the new government EPC rules come in for rental properties how will this effect landlords in real terms and will there be any exemptions? For example, if you're renting out a grade II listed property, will you be required to drag out the beautiful leaded windows and replace them by UPVC, (which wouldn't be allowed anyway), and therefore, would the property no longer be "rentable" without the double glazing? A tricky question, but just wondering if you could host a show regarding this, as it will be madatory in the coming years and anyone planning a portfolio should bear this in mind. Thanks

@@francissaunders4050 epc requirements will change in 2025 and its going to cripple a lot of us with older properties. Be prepared to invest 10 to 15k per property to get up to the mininum epc level of C come 2025. Be warned all and prepare

[@francissaunders4050]

@@caryj1590 Many thanks. Actually, because of this I'm thinking of changing strategy and only investing in new build apartments from now on. This is a pity because the service charges are a factor landlord/leaseholders can't control and the capital growth is much less than investing in houses - (I know this from personal experience). But this EPC rating crap has really thrown a spanner in the works :(

[@caryj1590]

@@francissaunders4050 one can still buy older propertie but you need to factor in costs to upgrade heating system and insulating walls externally or internally. This is expensive. Only worth buying older houses if you are going to gut them and completly re modernise imo.

[@stevenrowe6562]

Thanks for the video Jamie, nice to see some good honest advise. I did try a property training course last year, but lost confidence when the guy doing the course said he went from 20K worth of credit card debt to being financially free in 9 months, I just thoughts they are trying to sell you a dream and more expensive courses, not tell you the truth , its bloody hard work.

[@JamieYork]

It is bloody hard work mate. I run training courses too, but I like to deliver the reality, not some pipedream

[@anishkhasa581]

what i learned from this video - Don't be over confident if your first couple of deals have worked well stay humble calculate risks correctly, not calculating over head costs i.e. kitchen needs replacing in 15 years or boiler needs replacing in 3 years etc can cost ££££, follow your strategy don't switch because x is doing this and is making this much ££££ - you will FAIL if you consistently try to switch because x has done 3 LOA this month ( they have educated and trained themselves in this field), Don't become frustrated and buy a crappy deal because of your motivation, use formulas (numbers - make sure they add up) not feelings, DONT compare yourself to someone who has 10 years experience to your first 6 months experience they have thicker skin in the game, instead LEARN from them so you don't make the mistakes they did, Educate yourself if you don't know something get advice or get a mentor to teach you and then progress.

Great content, thanks! I’m seriously thinking of getting my first BTL next year. I’m based in Brighton and Hove where £180k gets you a very average studio flat. So I’ve looked elsewhere including my home town of basingstoke which I know very well but even a house in a half decent area is well out of budget. So I need to look further afield. Would you advise against looking really far from home for investment no.1 or do you think it’s the only option I have? A house is much more preferable than a flat. Or do you think go local and get a flat? Cheers

Hi, I'm in my 20s and I bought a personal property in Hastings, East Sussex in 2017 on a repayment mortgage and its gone up in value by 100K, circumstances have changed and I now live 5hours away with my partner rent free. Should I sell my first property and purchase 2x BLT in my new area (Manchester) with interest only /repayment mortgage if my outcome is to own property as a means for extra cash flow and asset. Or should I hold onto the first property and change it from a residential to a BLT mortgage so I keep that property. Any opinion is appreciated. I know you aren't an accountant.
