Claire Langford| Enjoying life as a teacher, Building income as a property investor (Real Life Journey)
North East property investor Claire Langford joins Tracy for this ‘caffeine conversations’ episode of Sweat, Grit & Hustle. Find out all about how Claire went from teaching to property, and join the conversation on builds, and when they can go wrong when it comes to managing your supply team.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Claire went with a small builder for her current HMO and they have had problems with funds for buying building materials.
- Because she lives over two hours away from where her properties are, Claire has found it difficult to know exactly where each stage of the build is at. Having someone close by to help out would alleviate some worries.
- The size of the builders you use isn’t a guide to the overall quality of them.
- Having a clear detailed quote, timescale, and payment plan will prevent some issues before they arise. Have it agreed and understood in advance with the builder. Aim to pay no more than 25% up front.
- Hold some money in reserve until you have checked the property for snagging. Getting builders back in after they’ve been paid can be a little difficult at times.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I want to have more freedom and flexibility’
‘Guess where they were?! They were down the pub!’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Claire Langford is a teacher that loves her career, but it's never going to be the financial vehicle for a pension or a legacy. Having a desire to create a wealth vehicle that would build income for her retirement and leave a legacy for her children, Claire embarked on going back to "school" and getting educated in property. Her family run business now focuses on creating room lets for professionals, from tired run down and unloved houses.
