Entering Property Market - Advice Needed

liam650

So I am planning to mortgage an Apartment for between 50,000 to 70,000 and rent it out to Students and basically let it pay itself. Then potentially purchase more as time goes on etc. All sounds perfect but any flaws in it? I have very little experience when it comes to these sort of things but from what I have seen I have never seen a broke landlord

Any pointers would be appreciated

Hello, so this summer gone I took out a 12 month fixed term lease in a house share, all was grand until a few months back I fell into financial difficulties and couldn't continue to pay rent, so I said look I can't afford it anymore, he didn't take that into consideration at all, I said I will have to vacate the premises as can't afford anymore, he then says he will track me down and bring me to court, well tracking me down homeless will not be easy

So any advice in this situation? Also I checked and the tenancy or any of them in the house are not on the PRTB list and on an off note few months back he refused to put his own name on the heating company bill and wanted one of the people in the house to, even though he is the owner, said we will all go without heating this winter

Jesus your post history is a couple of different levels of cringe.

At the end of the day, if your landlord has the money and the time, while you intend to earn money by working, he can always recover the money. You can't work without a home and you can't hide from the courts forever unless you want to take up the travelling life. Your wages can be garnished from your employer and any job move will end up with another court case and more money over to the landlord. The people who get away with not paying and playing the system have every intention of being bottom feeders for the rest of their lives, never working, moving constantly and fighting over scraps.

Talk to Eddie Hobbs for buying properties within that price range, I hear that in Berlin and places are rising:rolleyes:

OP, in light of your recently closed "I've decided to stop paying rent" thread, this thread too is closed.

Do not start any more threads along the same subject.

Why get just the one? If you get two you can double the return which will enable you to climb the ladder quicker when you think about it.

No need for any experience, you'll learn it all as you go along sure.

I say go for it OP! Keep us posted

I think there might be a few speedbumps along the road to be negotiated before he's in a position to launch his property management empire!

You'll given three meals a day, and a nice room, in a big communal house. But you won't get to leave it for 6 months to a year.

It is really simple, I do not have the money, food and clothing and shelter come first before these so called debts, especially coming up to xmas, I'm looking at possible homelessness, but no one cares, which yeah fair enough but why should I care then

Hugh J Ward came to the door with a yellow streak running down his pants, that's in the past, the current matter at hand is this unregistered landlord

Mmmm, yeah - or the current matter at hand might actually be yet another debt that you owe and are trying to get out of?

Bit of a pattern developing don't you think?

If the landlord will bring me to court but he hasn't registered the property under the PRTB then surely it will not work?

Is this the same guy who asked if he was to place his telly in his neighbours porch and watch it through a series of angled mirrors, could he technically avoid paying the TV licence fee and also become a millionaire in 18 months? Yes one might hit a few snags, but the fundamentals are there to become a millionaire. . no?

Liam, calm down.

Del Boy, is that you?

This lad is gas!

My advice to you would be not to do this, but the decision on this one will be made for you by the banks who won't give you a mortgage due to the bad credit history you have accumulated due to your persistent defaulting

How would you feel.if somebody wasn't paying you your rent in your hypothetical apartment?

Who is he? Your landlord or some guy living in the house with you? It looks you are not a tennant, only licensee, so RTB rules do not apply here. Not sure if fixed lease is valid in this case. Even if you are a tennant, you can end fixed tennancy agreement by subletting the place or if landlord refuses to sublet.
By the way, theres no chance he'll bring you to court, that would be WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for him

Property is registered with the revenue the day you take possession of the keys.
You have to register as a landlord. All it takes is one tenant to report you to revenue. When revenue catches you they decide how far to backdate the tax owed & then they add penalties & interest.

You always run the risk of bad tenants. It can take more than a year to evict tenants & they us do not bother to pay rent while you try to evict them. After you do get them out the property might be wrecked. I've seen places trashed. I saw one place where someone peed in the fridge. All carpets and furniture had to go on a skip. All the while you have to pay the mortgage.
You can get good tenants took but you always have to be prepared for the bad ones.

Liam, just think about all the bright ideas you had a few years ago to start on a road to 1,000 after tax.

And where you are now.

That will give you a feel for the challenge ahead.

Patience.

Well the plan is to get a job and save for a few years first

Any advice you get now will most likely be obsolete in 5 or 6 years time when you might be ready to buy.
I see some comments above from other posters.
If you get a job & save for a deposit, I think you need 20% deposit for a property that you won't be living in,you will need to show regular, consistent rent payments while you save or you won't get a mortgage.
If you have a bad credit rating it'll will take 5 years to clean it up.

By the time you pay some tax at the lower rate and some at the higher rate and usc then yeah tax is 40 to 50 %.
