Side Hustle Houses

This is my 5th Rental that will close in 2 weeks. It was purely brought from profits from other rentals. This is the system.

I’ve had a quiet year on here. Been building, working hard. What have people been up to? Share some successes.

Well another Budget Another shafting Thank you so much for my £100 I shall put it towards the many thousands I have to pay you extra. Yours sincerely Hard working person

My three residential properties have been on autopilot for years now. It is tough financially and work wise getting things going. But once you are there you can sit back and move into the next project. Earn while you sleep. That income is forever.

Something I neglected when applying for funding…. Me I was so analytical in figures and business plan o neglected the most important thing. The person behind the pages. Unbelievable how getting face to face and telling your story can change the game.

Great meeting yesterday with broker and backer. To have people see your vision and then appreciate you as an operator was really something. I’ll post some tips I learnt the hard way for anyone chasing a commercial loan on a ‘quirky’ land deal. It doesn’t always fit neatly in a box but you just need to find more boxes.

Huge day tomorrow Meeting a potential grant funded growth backer at an AirB&B property. So much work gone into this deal. So much prep. Heard a lot of no’s Heard a lot of it just won’t happen. I refuse to accept it.

For me, It’s not as simple as making money into more money. It’s buying a lifestyle where ‘Work’ is as good as possible for the next 15-20 years. What’s your preferred day to day? Start a business that allows you to do that time and time again.

People are pivoting from the SFH stack What’s your pivot?

No matter how many I do The waiting part of a deal is always the hardest But the most important

Wow, nobody warned me the commercial side of borrowing was a whole different ball game and more importantly TIMELINE to the resi I’m used too.

Buying a commercial land based property vs a house What do I need to be aware of?

I’m aware my lack of posting regularly this past couple months has shot my algo. I need to connect with my network Specifically Those who have purchased land Applied for land development planning permissions Are in the camping/glamping/ resort development space. Please drop me a DM. I give a lot I ask for little. 🙏

Elite buying window about to open No not the latest timing the market nonsense. Each year the masses dream of a summer move. 3 months of faffing means you need an early spring buy to achieve this. Each week now a stack of potential buyers. Your main residence group give up for another year. So….. as a buyer you just gained an edge. Remember this, tell the agent why you are a great option and be brave with the offer. Each week not the odds lean in your favour.

£192.68 House completely trashed by renter Condensation based damp, garden left to ruin, carpets scorched, doors broken and paint scratched off. Over £5000 worth of repairs for a 1 year tenancy. Went through all the correct channels to try and at least keep the deposit towards the bill I have had to cover. I’m told I was lucky to get anything. I was warned to just drop it and not chase the deposit due to how much the ‘unbiased’ panel side with renters most of the time. I thought screw it out of principal. Turns out I got screwed. Win some lose some. Stings a little but we go again.

Not great for him, great education for us from Rob @PropertyHubUK in their most recent pod. Honestly it scared the life out of me and I double checked and made sure I was landlord insured all round. Your loss would have hit me hard. Thanks for the share.

“ Why houses?” Why not. “But you could make more money this way” Cool “Stocks are better!” Maybe There are many ways to get rich. Houses have worked great for me in the phase of my life I was all in on a certain method. I dabble in other investment areas sure. But with money made from houses.

I have been off here a little while. Update me on your progress this year? Be loud and be proud.

Spoke with a friend today thinking of buying a coastal house. My advice and framework Buy a house you and your family will use and make memories in. Make a bit of cash renting in the voids. Could he have made more money with other investments….. yes But a lifetime of family good times…. Priceless.

Funniest thing happened to me 2 years ago. Picture it Me, always preaching the self managing strategy to be in control and save costs. First thing that happened when I employed an agent They told me I could command more rent, immediately covered their fee. Crazy times and I stood corrected instantly. Get a quote from a renting agent. You can always say no. Hands down a life changing decision
