Create a positive income stream by investing in property
You still have the opportunity to make money, even in a recession, but you need to select the right property.
A high yielding property will give you a positive cash flow from day one, as well as the potential for long term capital appreciation.
There is a shortage of property in the UK which is why prices remain high despite the economic conditions we are in.
There is still a good demand for student accommodation due to rising numbers of students going to university and wanting to live away from home.
There are a number of suitable properties in the area for letting to students, but these are generally 3 bed houses and 3 bedroom maisonettes. The lounge is then normally split to create a fourth bedroom (occaisionally it may be possible to create a fifth bedroom if an extension is built). These investments are still providing positive cash flows for our clients and higher rents than what could be achieved if rented out normally.
