Investors Guide - Specialist Rent-To-Rent

As investors, we’re always told that owning the asset is key. Therefore, most people assume property investing means you have to buy a property before you can make money from it. But in reality, that isn’t always possible. Steep property prices, lack of capital, fast-moving markets – there are many reasons why owning a property might be out of the question at this point in your property career. Luckily, there are still ways to make money from a property, even if you don’t own it. Rent-to-rent – whereby you rent a property, and then sublet and manage it – is a great example. This strategy is ideal for investors with little upfront capital, who still want to make money from property, be their own boss and learn the property ropes. Even as an experienced investor, with plenty of capital behind me, I still incorporate the rent-to-rent strategy as part of my property portfolio. Why? Because, when you get it right, controlling a property can be just as profitable as owning it, at least in the short and medium term.
