How to self-manage – from another country

Self-managing can be tough. Self-managing HMOs can be really tough. So, self-managing HMOs from abroad...surely that's not a good idea?

Well, my guest this week Richard Dyke makes it work – managing his portfolio (including a couple of small multi-lets) from Bergen in Norway. Richard visits several times a year for inspections and maintenance, and has all sorts of little hacks in place to make sure the distance isn't too much of a challenge.

Listen to this week’s show and learn:

*How Richard came to be managing his properties from such a distance

*Why using a letting agent originally wasn't an option for him

*How he finds his tenants

*How he uses his existing tenants as unpaid letting agents!

*The most challenging situation he's faced as a landlord

*The advice Richard would offer to other landlords looking to do it themselves
