We've put together a survey to capture the general sentiment across the sector as we look ahead to 2023. It's short, totally confidential, and should take less than two minutes to complete. The results will be shared with the wider property community via Property Hub Magazine and external media sources. https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=6NBY6epxVkyg2Vx-JhxCY7UtVBn6yzlEtqD0LFNcM1xUMVpEUzBYN1NYVUxXMlE3QUNCU1IxM0NEOS4u

Wednesday 7th December - 12.30pm For most investors, understanding where the market is headed is essential to their strategy, and the question “is now the right time to buy” is always looming over their head. With so much going on with inflation, the base rate and so much more, it’s hard to keep up with what’s actually happening and what this means for investors. So, Rob & Rob will be revealing LIVE in this FREE webinar exactly what the state of the market is right now. They’ll tell you exactly how it is, back it up with the numbers, explain how you can interpret them yourself and let you know what you should be doing. Remember this session will be delivered LIVE by Rob & Rob, and there’ll be a handy Q&A where you’ll get a chance to have your burning questions answered. But the value doesn’t stop there. Right after the session we’ll send a tonne of free resources straight to your inbox for you to get stuck into. Book your space here.

Hi there @jshand - and welcome to the forum! What made you think of doing a flip first, is this something that you've had any experience with in the past?

Welcome to the forum @That Yorkie Guy - you're certainly in the right place if you want to set up a mastermind group about property! Do you have any goals in mind for what you'd like to achieve through property investing?

Hi @Moe K Welcome to the forum! Thanks so much for sharing your story with us Out of interest, is there any reason you're drawn to flipping or the BRRR model as your preferred strategy? Have you started having a look around Glasgow at the areas you might want to invest in?

Hi @Billyseath Welcome to the forum! Is Cumbria the area that you want to get started in your property investment journey?

Hi @angiross Welcome to the forum! I'm sure our other members will be really grateful to have a user who's already got 3 BTL properties in their portfolio What kind of information and knowledge are you hoping to get by being on the forum?

Hi @anthonymoye Welcome to the forum! Have you begun looking in Coventry and Rugby for potential properties to purchase? Doing some simple desk research on sites like Rightmove could help give you a clearer idea on what specific areas you might want to zero in on in both areas!

How will rent freezes and eviction bans affect property investors? It’s official, the scary headlines are true… Scotland will be introducing a rent freeze and eviction ban in response to the cost-of-living crisis. But how will this affect property investors, and will the rest of the UK follow suit? Tune in to find out what’s happening and what it means for you: https://propertyhub.net/podcast/scotland-rent-freeze-eviction-ban/

Rob D chats us through the latest legislation changes that could have a BIG impact on holiday lets in our latest YouTube video. Do you have any holiday lets? If so, what do you make of this news?

It’s time for some more listener questions! And getting us started this week is Helen. Helen has three rental properties, each of which are on fixed rate mortgages, which are due to end soon in 2024-2026. Helen’s hoping Rob & Rob can shed some light on what she can do to prepare for her fixed rates coming to an end. Next up, we’ve got a question from Dan. Dan’s sister is currently looking for a property to rent, and he’s had a thought! As he’s looking to get into property investment, should he purchase a property and rent it out to his sister? It seems like a win-win situation as his sister gets a landlord she can trust, and he’d get a reliable tenant from the get-go. Do Rob & Rob think it’s a good idea or is it a disaster waiting to happen? Tune in to find out. Do you have a buy-to-let or property investment related question for Rob & Rob? You could feature on the next episode by giving us a call on 013 808 00035 and leaving a message with your name and question (normal UK call rates apply).

Hi @zacm Welcome to the forum! And thanks for sharing your story so far - Rob & Rob actually included Belfast in their 2022 BTL hotspots, so I think you're on the right track with this location. In terms of your questions - would you consider using IKEA to furnish your properties? I think the IKEA in Belfast is pretty huge, and would have far less costs associated with delivery. And as far as locations go, my personal experience with friends living in Belfast suggest to me that you're looking in all the right places for young professionals. Especially the Ormeau Road. A little further afield but Lisburn seems like it's gaining popularity with young professionals who work in the city but want more space in their homes too - would you consider investing there?
