Capital growth is great, but sometimes what you want it lots of cash in the bank right now. If the yields available on single lets just aren't doing it for you, we've got four alternatives:

• HMOs
• Holiday lets
• Small developments
• Cheapo houses

All of them have the potential to double your yield, but of course they all come with downsides too . We discuss how to choose which (if any) is the right option for you – as well as picking the one we would go for.

Resource of the week

Rob D's life has been changed by the Anker SoundCore Mini: a Bluetooth speaker that's half the size of a soft drink can, yet has amazing sound quality.

If you travel a lot, or you want to play music at something like a picnic, it's perfect – and a steal for under £20.

News this week

As reported in The Mirror, it turns out that a man's bargain auction purchase is scheduled to be demolished.

Just goes to show the importance of checking the legal pack before buying, and having someone view the property in person too – especially if it seems too good to be true!
