For a change, in this podcast, it is Kevin who is being interviewed. During the interview, Kevin talks about finding, funding, and running combination Serviced Accommodation (SA). Kevin explains how you can buy a SA one day and start accepting guests, short or long-term, almost immediately. As well as how to set these properties up so you can avoid the fallout from section 24.

 

He explains how he weathered the CoVid storm by being proactive and is planning to be ready for an upsurge in demand as things evolve and the crisis ends. He covers the important subject of financing an SA, including sharing a list of lenders who will provide the funds for this kind of venture.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Understand the difference between assets and liabilities – Kevin shares an example.
• Recognise the fact that there is good debt and bad debt and learn the difference.
• Only take advice from someone who knows what they are talking about, somebody involved in your form of property business.
• The right mentor for you is someone involved in your industry who is one or two steps ahead of where you are now.
• In the UK, using the right SA model, it is possible to mitigate the consequences of section 24.
• Position yourself to take advantage of the staycation boom and be ready to benefit from a less competitive market, once the CoVid crisis ends.
• Often, you can make SA properties that have been bought in cheap parts of town turn a high profit.
• Getting finance for UK SA properties is not easy, but it is possible when you approach the right lenders – Kevin provides some recommendations.
• It is possible to diversify a SA property, which will, often, keep it full for more of the year
