In today's episode, I'll be talking about one of my favourite strategies – rent-to-rent.If you've been a long-time listener or have been following my journey, you'll understand why I hold a soft spot for rent-to-rent. It's notably less capital-intensive compared to the process of purchasing, acquiring, and refurbishing your own HMOs. These are, of course, distinct models of wealth creation, but if your goal is to build your owned portfolio, then rent-to-rent can serve as an excellent starting point, accelerating the overall process.We'll cover the following key points in today's discussion:The rent-to-rent strategy and its benefitsInsight into location and numbersTips on finding and securing rent-to-rent dealsThe importance of implementing systems and processesStrategies for maximising profitabilityThe significance of contracts and paperwork in this process.Interested in joining our R2R Discovery Day on April 6th, 2024?
