How to create a property strategy, part 2

This week it’s the second part of our strategy series – and we’re diving into the pros and cons of five different investment strategies.

We talk about buy-refurb-refinance, buy-to-sell, HMOs, and two different flavours of buy-and-hold – with a cheeky extra bonus strategy thrown in at the end. It’s not the case that one is any better than the others, but they are all suited to different objectives and come with different risk and effort factors.

Take a listen to the episode to hear what we think about each of them – and if you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, you can do that here.

House prices in England and Wales have risen by 300% since 1995 – which is interesting, but it conceals a lot of individual variations.

The smallest 20-year rise is 80%, and the largest tops out at over 900% – meaning that where you invest will have made a gigantic difference to your returns. This ties directly in with the theme of this episode, so we dig into this story in a lot more detail.
