In this podcast, Kevin is being interviewed by Sally Kember of Serviced Accommodation Secrets. They talk about Kevin´s book, why he wrote it and how he used case studies to ensure that it went into enough detail to be practical in the real world.
They discuss why Kevin switched from Buy to Let to SA as part of his strategy to handle the fallout from clause 24. As well as talking about the different tax regimes and how property owners and developers can use them to significantly improve returns. They also talk about the opportunities the CoVid crisis has created and one that everyone can potentially take advantage of right now.

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.
