Investment is not only for experts. However, although many people would like to own a second property, most never get around to buying any other house than the one they live in – for lack of time, deposit or knowledge.
A second income from renting a property can have many advantages-
It can subsidise your pension
It can subsidise your salary
It is easy to find affordable property
It is often a safer form of investment than shares and often out-performs them
It gives you the financial freedom to do whatever you want – to work in a way that suits you, enabling you to downshift, become a free agent, bring up children, move to the country, get out of the rat race.
Wealth generates wealth and you need to make your savings count. Investing in a property to rent can be a solution to your financial problems, enabling you to feel financially secure and free. The fact that it has never been easier to afford a mortgage and the introduction of special buy-to-rent mortgages makes this the ideal time to jump on the bandwagon.
It shows you-
why buying to rent is one of the safest and most profitable forms of investment
how to finance your purchases and select the best mortgage
how to buy and then manage your property
how to work with professional bodies such as accountants, solicitors and letting agents
how the UK holiday letting market works
how to buy to rent abroad.
Buying to Rent explains clearly how to generate cash-flow from your investment so that you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with an additional regular income. It includes case-studies with real landlords and shows you how we can all buy to rent.

From the Author

In my work as a Speaker and as an Adviser to small businesses, I am presented every day with stories of business owners who have worked all their lives yet have nothing to sell on or to fund their retirement. The same is true for the salaried staff within many of the companies I consult with. They have a small company pension that is linked primarily to equities in a poor-performing market.

Looking at this, and at our own situation of being small landlords for many years, I began to write down the lessons we have learned and the experiences we have gone through since I first became a landlord more than thirteen years ago. Since then we have become more knowledgable and been better able to look after our tenants while enjoying the benefit of regular cashflow.

The book has deliberately been written to help you go from scratch to your first investment property within a short time of you learning that it is all about research and preparation. The contents help you to understand how to find value in the property you buy and how to attract tenants who will take care of the building.
