Arguably the most common question that is posed in the real estate industry is ‘how do I get into property?’ ‘Property’ is such a vague term as there are multiple strategies within the industry that require completely different levels of time, money, risk & return.
The fundamental factor in deciphering your strategy is understanding your long-term personal vision. Where do you want to be 1, 5 & 10 years from now? What do you want from your life? Is it passive income that you seek that will enable you to live a more flexible lifestyle or would you like to create a business that will last multiple generations? Spend time jotting down your thoughts on a blank piece of paper of what you want from your relationships, your career, children, religion and helping those in need.
Sharing the Strategies
Once you have decided what you want from life, selecting your strategy will become more clear. There are multiple strategies, a few of which are outlined below:
Vanilla’ Buy to Lets
Flips
HMOs
Serviced Accommodation
Commercial to Residential Conversions
New Build Schemes
Rent to Rent
Deal Sourcing
The strategies outlined above all require different levels of time commitment & possess an array of risk & return, however, if carried out with the right framework for execution, can all be lucrative. The key to a successful execution is education, theatrically & practically. If it is an HMO portfolio that you are looking to build, read up on the strategy! Listen to podcasts, follow the Instagram accounts of leaders of that strategy.
