Hi everyone,
I'm surprised I have not found this site before! Better late than never eh!
I've been investing in Hampshire & Test Valley sor several years. I mostly rent to tenants in receipt of housing benefit on direct payment to landlord basis. I combine this with a multilet strategy to keep my yields very healthy.
I continue to build my rental portfolio and left employment in 2014 to 'do property' full time and I'm enjoying it a lot!
I co-present some property workshops (aimed at newer investors) and I offer my due diligence services to other investors (time poor or new to investing, whoever needs some assistance really!)
I'm keen to keep up to date with the impacts of the universal credit roll out accross the UK, this might affect my strategy! I'm involved with a landlord working group at Test Valley Borough Council to help them with landlord relationships and to keep my finger on the pulse!
Along with many other investors, I'm following the 'clause 24 taxation' progress. I will likely form a Ltd company but I'm not going to do this until full details are released from government. I'm keen to hear what other investors who have historical portfolios are doing.
I'll try and assist members of this forum where I can and I hope to learn lots too. I love learning .... which is just as well really, as being a property investor right now needs continual change and development!
In my freetime I'm a keen cupcake baker and strategy board game geek! and I support a charity very dear to my heart "The Retinal Childrens Fund". A few times a year I co-host charity property workshops - search, research and due diligence techniques. For a small donation of £50 we walk newer investors through our serach and due diligence processes with 100% of the donations going to this charity. Its been set up by a very talented consultant surgeon to buy a retcam machine for a local NHS special care baby unit. It will be used to screen for Retinopathy of Prematurity, an eye disease affecting premature babies. I support this charity as much as I can as I'm dealing with complex adult complications of this childhood eye disease and hopefully this retcam can help todays preemie babies avoid these adult complications by getting treatment as babies!
Well, enough about me, I'm going to explore this site further to see where my experience best sits and do some learning in other areas!
Thanks for reading!
