IN THIS EPISODE

We all know how daunting it can be speaking with a landlord or agent and putting forward your rent to rent proposition for their property. In this episode of The HMO Experience Property Podcast, Matt and Jamie give you some workable solutions to these 5 common objections:

  1. “Subletting - we don’t do it!”;
  2. “We don’t deal with corporate lets”;
  3. “Our landlords don’t do that (rent to rent, HMO)”;
  4. “You’re a new company and have no track record”; and
  5. “We’ve previously had a bad experience with this”

Packed full of nuggets, this is definitely an episode of The HMO Experience Property Podcast you don’t want to miss!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

Introduction  [00:00 - 01:40]

Subletting? We don’t do it! [01:40 - 03:37]

We don’t deal with corporate lets  [03:37 - 06:02]

Our Landlords Don’t That [06:02 - 09:10]

You’re a new company [09:10 - 15:18]

Bad experience, I’ve been burned  [15:18 - 19:25]

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Using a management agreement avoids sub-letting. Know your agreement inside out so that you can logically discuss this objection and know the differences between each type of agreement.
  2. Focus on identifying the problems you can solve or the needs the agent has and tailor your sales pitch to providing a solution.
  3. Agents may not understand the guaranteed rent model but with a changing economic climate perhaps this is the right time for the agent to begin to learn about the benefits they can have from this model.

IN THIS EPISODE

Your podcast host Jamie Madill chats with Lorraine Clayton, an award-winning energy efficiency expert who has seen so many changes since she started in this industry in 2007.

The green economy has gone through huge changes over the last ten years.  New technological advances in solar energy, house insulation, and air source and ground source heat pumps means that it’s cheaper than ever to make your properties more energy efficient.

Together with the Government incentives available to UK householders (up to a £10,000 discount per property), now is the perfect time to upgrade your energy system to save money, and potentially make an extra income too.

If you have an HMO with communal kitchens you could get incentivised rates on upgrading your heating & hot water system.

The Final Word [50:25 - 52:29]

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Gas boilers are due to be phased out by 2025 although gas hobs will still be allowed
  2. There are Government schemes that can help subsidise or cover the cost of installing more energy efficient heating systems
  3. Navigating the choices to find out what is right for your can be time consuming and confusing so why not outsource this to an industry professional
  4. Any property that is 100% electric heating and has no gas connection has the opportunity for gas to be connected to the property free of charge.
  5. Be wary of working with contractors, ensure that they are qualified to do the works and that they are part of the accredited scheme.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Ensure that you have a definition of what a deal means to you. How much cash flow will be produced, the return on your investment or perhaps how much capital you leave in the deal.
  2. Agents are the obvious choice to start your Rent2Rent journey. They hold most of the available stock but approaching landlords direct is also worthwhile.
  3. Set up your Goldmine area, set your online property portal alerts and then contact the agents.
  4. Ensuring that your HMO Management company is properly set up. Once you make contact with prospective clients they will check you out.

BEST MOMENTS

  • “Don’t just think about deals in terms of numbers and metrics but understand what a deal is in a wider sense to you and your clients/customers.”
  • “phone calls, just phones calls. Lots and lots of phone calls. Did I enjoy it. Not really but now I have some really good relationships with agents.”
  • “Identify who the decision makers are in the letting agents will move you forward faster than dealing with negotiators. Ensure they understand your business model and always work with integrity.”

Property cycles & buying property [06:50 – 09:30]

The shared economy [09:30 – 13:50]

It’s about quality & flexibility [13:50 – 18:10]

The future of the shared economy [18:10 – 26:05]

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. HMO property has been around for a long time. They are not a new strategy. What has changed over time is the quality of accommodation and the level of service provided
  2. The rise of the shared economy has serviced changes in the wider economy. Offering a service that suits
  3. The standard of property and level service is now critical to succeeding in the HMO market. Graduates who have experienced quality university accommodation won’t settle for inferior quality so you have to constantly ensure your property is well presented.
  4. HMO accommodation provides a cost effective solution that will continue to prosper as the cost of living increases and wages can’t keep up. Providing an all inclusive rent option is very attractive to people who require flexibility in their work and personal lives

BEST MOMENTS

  • “People will pay a premium for flexibility; the whole shared economy will grow and grow.”

IN THIS EPISODE

Your podcast hosts Matt Harris and Jamie Madill tackle the second biggest challenge raised by the The HMO Experience community, which is how to actually start your HMO property journey!

One thing that most people fail to do is plan what they want to achieve in the first 12/24 months, how to convert that plan into actionable steps and what resources they need or already have available to them.

If you’re stuck on how or where to start your own HMO experience, then this is definitely the episode you need to listen to!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

Introduction [00:00 – 02:10]

What is the next step once you have your knowledge? [02:10 – 10:50]

Knowledge is not power [10:50 – 15:00]

Procrastination [15:00 – 19:06]

Who is holding you accountable? [19:06 – 23:10]

What goes around comes around [23:10 – 30:27]

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Work backwards. Once you have worked out how much income you need/want then divide the potential net monthly income of one house into your number and that is the number of property you need.
  2. Break your actions down into manageable chunks. Don’t plan the whole year just focus on the next 90 days and then break that down into monthly, weekly and daily tasks.
  3. Procrastination is a killer. The more you put yourself in the way of opportunity the luckier you will be. It’s impossible not to succeed if you focus on taking action.
  4. Go for no. Don’t be afraid of rejection. It’s almost a certainty. No doesn’t necessarily mean no. It means not right now.

BEST MOMENTS

  • “The one thing I regret is to read less and implement more.”
  • “Knowledge is not power. It’s potential power. To know and not to do is not to know”
  • “Do whatever you can consistently. As soon as you stop you lose momentum”

IN THIS EPISODE:

Your podcast hosts Matt Harris and Jamie Madill tackle one of the main challenges The HMO Experience community face when starting out with property investing journey - a lack of knowledge!

If you’re looking to start or have recently started your own HMO experience, do you know what you want to do? Do you know how you want to get there? Most importantly, how are you educating yourself and what resources are you using to learn more about HMO property investing?

These are just some of the question we answer on this episode of The HMO Experience Property Podcast!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

Introduction [00:00 – 03:27]

The Difference Between Learning & Doing [15:18 – 25:30]

Investing in Your Education [25:30 – 31:02]

Jamies’ Last Word – [31:02 – 36:14]

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Research your chosen path. There are lots of free resources online; e-books, video, event discovery days that are no cost or low cost sources of information. So kick off your knowledge acquisition with free information before you start paying for information.
  2. The reality is that your individual journey will be different to yours; either buying HMO or doing Rent2HMO. Having access to people who have travelled the road before you will help navigate any bumps you may face.
  3. Investing in your education will give you more detailed information. Ensure that you work with people who have succeeded; and failed, in the HMO market so you can learn the positives and the negatives
  4. Lack of knowledge or getting the wrong knowledge could put you in a difficult position. Ensure that you cross check your information to make sure the information you are receiving is correct and valid. Leveraging multiple sources of information is vital to embed your learning

Structuring Your Joint Ventures [22:10 – 34:27]

#JLC - Jamies Last Comment - [34:27 – 38:16]

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Working with funds from third parties is a regulated activity in the UK overseen by the FCA. Check out their website www.fca.org
  2. Unsophisticated lenders are limited to loan arrangements in the UK. This is because it is generally accepted that the concept of a loan is widely understand. 
  3. Sophisticated lenders can enter into profit share arrangements because it is generally accepted that they have a greater understanding of risk and reward as well as loan arrangements
