[0]
a question I'm often asked is do you
[1]
recommend buying cheap houses as rental
[3]
properties in their 30 to 70,000 price
[6]
range and my answer is yes and in this
[9]
video I'll give you several reasons
[10]
while buying cheap houses where there's
[13]
a demand can be a great investment
[15]
especially when you're first starting
[17]
out as a landlord
[19]

hi I'm Andy Walker from Malathi calm and
[31]
on this channel I'll share my
[32]
experiences as a property investor in
[34]
landlord and also interview other
[36]
investors so we can learn from their
[38]
advice too so if you new here
[40]
consider subscribing for more videos
[42]
like this now there's a common
[45]
misconception that the more expensive or
[47]
more attractive or property the more
[48]
that can be charged for rent and the
[50]
bigger return you'll receive and that's
[52]
simply not true
[53]
cheap rental properties can make very
[55]
good investments now I've not bought a
[57]
house in the thirty to seventy thousand
[59]
price range yet but I plan to and in
[62]
fact the cheapest property I have bought
[63]
has been my best performing property
[65]
it's been a good solid investment it has
[68]
never been vacant for more than three
[69]
weeks in a year and that's only happen
[71]
once in the 14 years that I've owned it
[73]
and I've also seen some nice capital
[75]
growth in that time too I remember when
[77]
I first viewed it I wasn't that keen but
[79]
after listening to the letting agent
[81]
about the demand in the area I decided
[83]
to go for it and I'm so glad I did by
[86]
owning a cheap single unit property
[88]
you're still gain experience as a
[89]
landlord and investor also depending on
[92]
your approach you may decide to look for
[94]
one that requires some cosmetic work to
[97]
bring it up to scratch so you can add
[99]
value before your first tenant moves in
[101]
they say you'll gain some experience
[102]
with renovations as well some people say
[104]
they're not going to make a significant
[106]
income with the cheap rental property
[107]
and although that may be true when you
[109]
compare it to a large HMO you have to
[112]
consider that smaller single-family
[114]
properties will require less capital to
[117]
get started less time to get up and
[119]
running and less time to be managed
[121]
once the tenant is in situ typically
[123]
they're less of a headache I would also
[125]
add that your rental yield is likely to
[127]
be better compared to buying a property
[129]
in a city center or more expensive
[132]
region I'll have a video on calculating
[134]
the rental yield and the return on
[136]
investment up here which you should
[138]
watch if you're not familiar with these
[140]
terms property investing is a long-term
[142]
business and businesses are all about
[144]
cash flow if your goal is to replace
[146]
your salary from your current job in the
[148]
future then buying several cheap
[150]
properties will help you reach that goal
[152]
providing you stay focused on the rental
[154]
yield and cashflow are not the potential
[157]
for capital growth each property you buy
[159]
will be a stepping stone to the next one
[161]
and your experiences are being both a
[163]
landlord an investor will skyrocket it
[166]
makes sense right the more you purchase
[168]
and hold the more experiences you will
[170]
gain recent research conducted by you
[172]
pad has shown that two-bedroom
[174]
properties for both houses and
[176]
apartments bring in the best rental
[178]
yield and I know from experience that
[181]
these types of properties are rented by
[183]
key workers such as teachers nurses taxi
[186]
drivers both white and blue collar
[188]
workers who don't necessarily want to
[191]
buy their own property but want a nice
[193]
place that they can call their home okay
[195]
so if you're a first-time investor
[196]
cheaper properties can really work for
[199]
you for a number of reasons firstly
[201]
lending will be far easier if you're
[203]
looking to pour 40 thousand as opposed
[205]
to two hundred thousand because when you
[207]
start there'll be fewer lenders
[208]
available to you once you have some
[210]
experience with owning a rental property
[212]
and operating as a landlord you will
[214]
find that there will be more lenders
[216]
that will be willing to do business with
[217]
you there's a better chance that you'll
[219]
be able to reduce your loan to value to
[221]
increase your cash flow if you have
[223]
thirty thousand to invest for example
[225]
and you use that as a deposit on a
[227]
120,000 property you will need a
[229]
mortgage with the loan to value of
[230]
seventy five percent and you'll find the
[232]
interest you pay on your mortgage will
[234]
be higher than if you used your thirty
[236]
thousand to purchase a sixty thousand
[239]
property and took out a mortgage with a
[241]
fifty percent loan to value less capital
[243]
will be required but you'll still gain
[245]
the experience of purchasing an
[247]
investment working with a mortgage
[249]
broker and a solicitor and operating as
[252]
a landlord as if you'd bought a more
[253]
expensive property in a city center or a
[256]
different region if you have a sizable
[258]
amount to invest but you're not 100%
[261]
sure if property is the asset class for
[263]
you then the cheaper property will allow
[265]
you to dip your toe in the water before
[267]
you decide to go all-in running costs
[270]
will be cheaper and I'm talking about
[271]
buildings insurance as well as mortgage
[274]
repayments and utility bills if you find
[276]
yourself letting the property with bills
[278]
included cheaper properties won't cost
[280]
as much to fix compared to more
[282]
expensive ones you'll gain experience of
[284]
solving and fixing problems and any
[286]
mistakes you make won't be as costly
[288]
compared to the bigger more expensive
[290]
properties there's also a good chance
[293]
that the cheaper rental will
[295]
be near where you live which will force
[297]
you to look for a good managing agent
[299]
and then allow me to put it at a back in
[300]
mind once it's up and running so you can
[302]
focus on your normal routine and enjoy
[305]
the passive income that it brings
[306]
experience with working with a letting
[309]
agent is good to have in my opinion I
[311]
think they're cheap rental properties
[312]
are a great way to start as a landlord
[314]
and shouldn't be overlooked start as
[316]
soon as possible buy cheap gained some
[318]
experience and start to build your
[320]
empire and your legacy whilst providing
[322]
a good service to your customers over to
