🏡 Just starting out in the world of HMO property investing? Here are 5 tips to set you on the right path: 1️⃣ Know your costs inside out before diving in for your purchase or refurb. Ensure you have a complete list of extra costs such as stamp duty, fees and arrangement costs. 2️⃣ Crunch the numbers to ensure a healthy ROI of at least 15%. Always budget for unforeseen expenses (20% on anything over 120k). 3️⃣ Check the Spareroom stats: if there's more than a 3:1 ratio of rooms to tenants, it might not be the ideal time to buy in that area due to oversupply. 4️⃣ Establish your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) upfront, tracking metrics like predicted vs. actual monthly rental, occupancy rates, advertising costs, maintenance spend, and more. 5️⃣ Keep a close eye on your finances with a monthly Profit and Loss statement, scrutinised either by yourself or your accountant. This level of financial oversight will help you optimise costs and maximise income. Implementing these steps in your first project sets a solid foundation for future success and growth in the HMO property market. Here's to your success! #hmoinvesting #hmos #hmomanagement

THE RISE OF THE HMO🏘️ I’ve noticed more of our traditional property investor clients diversifying into HMOs. With the potential for higher rental yields and maximising income from a single property, HMOs can be a smart move for those looking to scale or optimise their portfolios. Given this growing interest, I’m excited to be hosting a panel debate at The Londoner in a couple of weeks with some of the top players in the HMO space. We’ll be covering everything from finance and investment strategies to operations and valuations, with insights from: Nicholas Christofi - CEO at Karis Capital, specialising in funding solutions that have helped a wealth of clients build and scale HMO portfolios. Anna Lewis - Commercial Director at Castle Trust Bank, offering innovative debt products for HMO investors. George Panayiotou - Partner at Babouris, a highly experienced property investor with a significant track record of growth. Alex Babouris – Founder at Babouris, the mastermind behind efficient HMO operations. Edward Boulton – Associate Director at Lambert Smith Hampton, a valuer who truly understands the HMO market. Just a handful of spots left for the event, so if you’re interested in joining the conversation, whether your a HMO pro or new to the strategy, drop me a message to secure one of the remaining places 🏛️ #hmo #hmoproperty #hmofinance #hmoportfolio #propertyinvestor #propertyinvestment #propertyinvesting #investmentproperty #hmooperator #hmolandlord
