In this week's episode of The Buy to Let Property Podcast, Shiv is back to offer his advice to two listeners.
A common concern for property investors is whether they actually have the time to set up their investment while balancing a full-time job, family commitments, and everything else life throws at them.
Today, Himal is wondering: How much time do I need to dedicate to get my property investment up & running and can I do it alongside my job?
The second question in today’s episode comes from Sam who is concerned about choosing the wrong location to buy a property in. He wants to know what makes a good buy-to-let investment location and how much money will he need to get started.

With a surprise BOE base rate cut at the beginning of the month and inflation stabilising, mortgage rates are now predicted to fall.

What about the discounts we’ve been getting, will they disappear?

When should we start seeing the mortgage rates drop and what does it mean for your next deal?

So how do you build a property portfolio with no up-front cash?
Not everyone has thousands in savings or has inherited a vast sum of money from a relative but without realising it, you could be sat on thousands of pounds that you could use to invest in property.
What am I talking about?
Your own home.
In our latest Property Perspective, we will show you how you can unlock the equity in your home and use the power of a BTL mortgage to not only fund your very own BTL property investment but also pay towards the mortgage on your own home.

From strong rental yields and stable appreciation to the protection of investor rights, we can understand why many foreign investors are flocking to the UK to invest their money in property.
But for overseas buyers, navigating the UK property market can be a challenge, with the potential time zone differences, communication barriers, and unfamiliarity with the UK property market nuances.
We recently met up with our client Amar in sunny Mexico, who like many expats, understood the benefits of investing in the UK property market but couldn’t be on the ground to get it up and running.
Listen to our latest episode as he reveals why he chose to invest in the Leeds property market and how by choosing to invest with a property sourcing company like ours, he was able to keep roots in the UK and invest in a property that is creating long term security for his future.
If you’re based abroad but have been thinking about investing in the UK property market and want to hear how you too can invest in property, just like Amar, you won’t want to miss this episode.

🚨 The BOE raises the base rate to 5% as a result of inflation "taking a lot longer than expected" to come down.
In May, we saw the base rate increase to 4.5% and we have just seen the Bank of England raise the rate to a 15 year high of 5%
Understandably this news sways people’s opinions on whether now is the right time to be spending their money, never mind investing it 🫣
Join us as we do a deep dive on base rates, what they are, why are they rising and what you can do to protect yourself and your investments against these rising rates, as well as the opportunities that are currently waiting for you.
Remember you are not helpless in this situation.
There are steps you can take to educate yourself, protect yourself, take back control and make some serious cash while doing it! - Se mer
