Property investment has long been a staple in British retirement planning.
The introduction of the buy-to-let mortgage over a quarter-century ago marked a significant turn, presenting opportunities for dual returns: rental income in the short-term and capital growth in the long-term. You can see why there are a substantial number of Fife landlords who view property investment as a cornerstone of their retirement strategy.
However, this path is full of challenges. Recent shifts in tax and regulatory landscapes, coupled with escalating interest rates, have imposed pressures on profitability, compelling some landlords to reconsider their positions. Thus, becoming a landlord in Fife necessitates meticulous research and a strategic approach.

EP 93: Talk Yourself to Health, Wealth and Happiness
Conventional wisdom tells us that those who talk to themselves regularly are crazy, but the truth is exactly the opposite!
Those who make an intentional habit of talking to themselves have clearer thoughts and better communication skills than the rest of us.
Talking aloud can help you process information, learn faster and increase your confidence.
So, why then does speaking aloud work better than merely thinking?
Surely if you can hear a voice inside our head when we think, that would be enough?

FPTV EP 162: ACCEPTING A GUARANTOR: The essential checks you need to make, and when to say no
For some landlords, the very mention of guarantors can ring alarm bells. But they’re written into more tenancy agreements than you might think, and needing one isn’t necessarily a sign of problems ahead.
Even well-paid professionals with a glowing landlord’s recommendation can fall short in the referencing process, so it’s wise to have an understanding of what it means to have a tenant with a guarantor.

EP 91: The Wealth Creation Show: The Wealth Mastery Mindset
What others fail to realise is that their deep beliefs (usually the ones their parents had) determine how much money they make or don’t make, who they marry, what kind of home they live in, the clothes they wear, the kind of car they drive and everything else!
Everything you do is controlled by your beliefs! Our beliefs are our views, our judgments, our way of thinking, what we believe in, what we believe to be true or false, right or wrong, and our conclusions about life.
Very seldom do we consciously choose our beliefs. We usually inherit them from our parents and environment around us.
Can your beliefs change your life? And what are your beliefs?

FP TV (EP 160) EMPTY PROMISE: Turn a vacant spell into a brighter future for your buy-to-let
An empty rental property doesn’t have to be a downer. In fact, having some time between tenancies gives you the chance to optimise your investment’s rental yield, sales value, and future popularity.

So, whether you’re making improvements to turn a greater profit, or just keeping things in check until the next tenancy begins, this week’s blog is jam-packed with expert tips and tricks.
Lettings Director Richard Cook along with one of the UK’s most successful Property Investors, Jim Parker discuss this topic.
