in this video I'm going to be explaining
[1]
what the setup costs are to bring your
[4]
first HMO property and also what the
[7]
ongoing management maintenance costs
[9]
look like and how much profit you can be
[11]
expected to have at the end of every
[13]
single month my name is Samuel Letts and
[15]
I am the author of the best-selling
[17]
Amazon book by low rent hi how much do
[20]
you need to buy an HMO property well of
[23]
course it can vary massively it can go
[25]
from very high to very very low you can
[28]
buy properties without using any money
[30]
at all using things like Lease Option
[32]
agreements raising finance doing a joint
[34]
venture but in this video I'm going to
[36]
be explaining what the typical costs
[38]
would be for a traditional HMO property
[41]
that you bought with your own money so
[43]
firstly how much do you need to get
[45]
started to put into the deal we're going
[48]
to work on the basis of a 25% deposit
[51]
you can do it for less but then your
[53]
interest rates will be higher so 25%
[55]
deposit typically our HMOs are around
[59]
about a hundred thousand pounds as a
[60]
starting point for a four-bed HMO that
[63]
will be 25 thousand pounds straight away
[66]
for your deposit so if you haven't got
[69]
twenty five thousand pounds you might
[70]
need to think creatively on top of your
[73]
deposit you've also got two legal fees
[75]
now this can vary but your solicitor
[77]
fees your standard UTV's it can just
[79]
really vary but it shouldn't be more
[80]
than a few thousand pounds you're also
[82]
going to need refurb costs now we don't
[84]
buy properties that need a big refurb we
[87]
don't pop on sweets in all the rooms
[88]
what we do instead is we furnish them
[90]
and make them look amazing that way and
[93]
we buy properties that are already in
[95]
really good condition
[96]
what does it cost to furnish your
[98]
property and get a HMO ready well you're
[101]
gonna need probably fire doors smoke
[103]
alarms and furniture and maybe a lick of
[105]
paint and you can typically budget for
[107]
that around about 7,000 pounds which
[111]
brings us to 32,000 pounds plus legal
[114]
fees so whatever age how much will it
[116]
cost
[116]
I'd say about 35
[119]
and pounds as a good starting point next
[121]
question how much return you're going to
[123]
get back you invest in thirty five
[125]
thousand pounds what are you going to
[127]
get back well let me say one thing to
[128]
start with if you put thirty five
[130]
thousand pounds in the bank your return
[132]
would be next to nothing and your money
[134]
would be shrinking if you put it into a
[136]
normal house you might get around ten to
[139]
fifteen percent return on investment the
[141]
way that we do things we'll have to get
[143]
at least 20 percent but usually closer
[145]
to the thirty percent return on
[147]
investments what's the breakdown of that
[149]
and what does that look like what your
[151]
rent is going to be on average and it
[153]
will vary from house the house but a
[155]
good starting point will be three
[157]
hundred and fifty pounds per month per
[160]
room which will leave you with a total
[163]
monthly rent of fourteen hundred pounds
[165]
of that fourteen hundred pounds you are
[167]
going to have expenses it's not more
[170]
yours to keep because of course you're
[171]
going to have to pay the mortgage
[172]
payments which might be around about 200
[175]
pounds a month you're going to have to
[177]
pay the bills which is gas electric
[180]
broadband council tax water and that on
[183]
a four bedroom HMO typically comes down
[186]
to around about three hundred pounds a
[188]
month and finally you're going to have
[190]
to pay somebody to manage the property
[192]
find you tenants and take complete
[194]
responsibility in control of the
[196]
property you can do this yourself but
[199]
that's a lot of hard work so I would
[201]
recommend using a property manager we
[203]
can recommend people to you in fact
[205]
whenever we pass a house on we always
[207]
make sure we have a Power Team behind up
[209]
so how much will that cost we pay twelve
[212]
percent of the rent which will be one
[214]
hundred and six
[215]
pounds Perman however you've gotta round
[217]
up because they will also charge you
[219]
finders fees referencing fees for the
[221]
tenants so we say about 200 pounds a
[224]
month we'll have to go towards the
[226]
management company let's bring this all
[227]
together management company 200 pounds
[229]
mortgage payments probably about 200
[232]
pounds nails 300 pounds which together
[235]
brings a total of 700 pounds profit and
[238]
settlement pounds
[239]
expenses which is heart the rent is
[242]
going to you half the rent is going to
[244]
expenses and that is our rule of thumb
[246]
whenever you're buying hmm
[248]
it's a 5 bit or a 6 then the rents a lot
[250]
more the rent might be 2,000 pounds a
[253]
month but we will always say half of
[255]
that expect to go towards expenses let's
[258]
do the math 700 pounds a month is 8400
[262]
pounds per year you invested 35,000
[265]
pounds that will bring you a grand total
[267]
investment of 24 percent per annum which
[271]
means that after four years you've got
[273]
your money completely back and you've
[275]
got your equity trapped in the property
[277]
and of course you've got your capital
[278]
appreciation as well I always recommend
[281]
you in HMOs alongside the lease option
[283]
agreements and no money down deals
[286]
recycle your rent reinvest it and be
[289]
creative and secure properties with no
[291]
non if you do these two together there's
[292]
no reason why anybody couldn't be
[294]
financially independent within 12 months
