    The latest announcements at present suggest that the Corona virus is likely to become widespread in the UK, and in a worst case scenario could affect 80% of the population, potentially putting a 5th of the UK workforce out of action at its peak. I wondered what people's thoughts were regarding the short-term / long-term effects on the property market? There seems to be no clear consensus forming in the property media at the moment (perhaps because the the potential scale has only just become apparent, and there are so many variables and permutations that it is difficult for pundits to do

    Hey Matt, Yes, there are many such app available. I'm currently weighing up Landlord Vision andRentCentral. The latter might be spot on for you. There are also lots of alternatives if you google 'property management apps' Best, Tass

    Hey Dennis, Indeed, it would be a lot of work, but I have a bit of a history for creating elaborate excel spreadsheets I've done a bit more poking around online and may have found two web-based services that might fit the bill though Landlord Vision seems to be able to do what I'm after RentCentral also looks like it might be worth a look They both have free trials so I'll test them out and report back. If anyone has greater experience with them, let me know!

    Hey Can anyone recommend a software program that will allow me to me to measure how my business and property portfolio is doing? I'd really like it to measure both things in one program (general business performance, and portfolio performance) and it's vital that it will allow me to forecast/test the effect that potential purchases would have. I'd love to - Be able to test what happens to my business cashflow if I buy/remortgage specific properties at a specific points in the year. Compare the performance of two possible purchases to see which is likely to perform

    Hey all, Can anyone clarify how Yield, Equity & ROI should be calculated when following a Buy, Refurbish, Refinance strategy? Most online resources only discuss these in terms of purchasing a property and letting it out / selling it, rather than refinancing it. I want to make sure my metrics are comparable with everyone else's! Theoretical BRR Scenario: I buy a property for £120k using a bridging loan and a deposit of £48k I spend 6 months renovating it, with the finance costs & renovation totaling £25k I then refinance onto a BTL mortgage with the property valued by

    Hi Jordan, I'm also looking at loaning money to my own company in the form of a debenture as I understand that it offers tax advantages (you can withdraw up to your loan amount tax free) and insolvency protection (you get second charge over the property - i.e. you get paid back after the mortgage company, but before other creditors). I wondered where you got to with this? This is the info I'm working from: https://www.purnells.co.uk/limited-company/administrative-receivers/what-is-a-debenture Best, Tass

    Thanks Dennis, will do

    Hi, I wondered if anyone could tell me whether is is acceptable to let a property whilst using bridge finance? I'm intending to use BF to renovate a property and remortgage onto a BTL mortgage once development is complete. I'm aware that you must wait 6 months before remortgaging and I'm wondering, if I complete renovations ahead of schedule, rather than having the property vacant is it possible to get let the property before this point, while still on BF? Cheers!

    Thanks Dino, useful info I was aware I'd need bridging finance initially (I labeled it incorrectly) and built the costs in, but yes I'd forgotten the net rent! Having scribbled on the back of a napkin for an evening, I'm coming to the conclusion that a mix of flips and BRR would likely keep me solvent, although building a portfolio at a slower rate. Off to do the sums properly now. I have a gut reluctant to bring in JV finance, but perhaps I need to take a more objective viewpoint...

    Hey all, I'm in the process of planning a new venture in property development. Over the past few months I've visited properties, built myself a comprehensive budgeting spreadsheet (that factors in all purchase, finance, holding and remortgaging costs), and gathered enough data to be able to run a simulation of my intended BRR strategy. The result has been discouraging! It would appear that given my starting capital of £100k, I'll run out of funds by my third purchase. Would an experienced developer sanity-check my simulation and confirm this? If this is indeed true, what would you su
