FPTV EP 174: LANDLORD XMAS BREAK: Tips to take some time off and recharge over the holidays

To be a landlord is to be an entrepreneur, and to be an entrepreneur is to never really shut off. But we all need a break sometimes, and if you’ve been juggling work, your rental property, and looking after a family, now is the moment to take a breather. Christmas is the one time of year when the entire country shuts down, which makes it an ideal moment to step back and recharge for the new year from a business and personal perspective.

FPTV EP 170: SINGLE LET OR HMO?

 

Could your profits jump 50% with multi-occupancy lettings?

 

If you’re looking for ways to boost your buy-to-let profits, converting your rental home to a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO for short) could be the answer.

 

HMOs have exploded in popularity as an option for landlords to increase their income by letting out a property as individual rooms, rather than as a single home. Lettings Director Richard Cook along with Letting Agent Kerin Marshall discuss this topic.

FPTV EP 168: LANDLORD MISTAKES: Five major buy-to-let bloopers and how to avoid them

Making mistakes is a part of life:  many can be laughed off, but others are more serious. And for landlords, there can be legal and financial consequences for getting things wrong.

 

When we’re asked to take over a rental home by someone who’s been managing it themselves, they’re often feeling a bit overloaded or disillusioned with being a landlord.

Lettings Director Richard Cook along with Letting Agent Kerin Marshall provide insight on this subject.

House shares are a great way of maximising your rental income, and they cover every kind of tenant, from university students to high-earning professionals.

Inevitably, a housemate will leave at some point as their life evolves and whether it’s moving in with a partner, relocating for work, or buying a home of their own, you’ll need to find a replacement.

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?

To furnish or not to furnish? That hasn’t been the question for as long as we can remember – it’s been unfurnished all the way.

 

Nonetheless, the subject comes up in conversation every now and then, and a recent Zoopla article weighed up the pros and cons of furnished vs unfurnished homes, albeit from a tenant’s perspective.

 

So we thought it was worth exploring from a landlord’s point of view, particularly if it opens up a new angle and extra income for your buy-to-let business.

 

Over the last few years, surveys have found that:
