Are you still contemplating whether or not R2R is the right strategy for you?

I'm a huge fan of rent-to-rent and I've been doing it for seven years across several cities. This is really important to note because there are a lot of people out there talking about this strategy and teaching it but have limited experience.

So in this episode, I’m sharing with you my experience and thoughts about this strategy including:

• What I love and don’t love about the R2R strategy
• How I drive the rents up through refurbishments
• The ugly truths about R2R and what you need to be aware of
• How to know if it’s the right strategy for you
• What you need to know to help you get started

Do you need help in choosing the best business bank account for your HMO business? Well, let me narrow down your options.

If you've set up a business, then you're required by law to have a business bank account. You can't spend anything from your business through a personal account of any sort. But I get it. It's quite confusing and there are so many banks out there. 

So, who do you choose? That’s exactly what we’re talking about in this short episode.
