Knowing which investments to aim for is one of the fundamental tools in your investing journey. But conversely, knowing which investments to AVOID is also equally as important. As Simon explains in this episode, avoiding the wrong investments can save you valuable time, money and stress.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Whenever you are buying a property, always examine the demand for that type of property in your chosen area. Look at whether there's enough supply and demand.
• Always make sure that your investments provide you with cashflow. The numbers have to add up, or it isn't worth your time.
• If you have a student HMO in the right areas, it can be an excellent investment, But you should, at the moment, avoid purpose-built apartments in apartment blocks for students. This strategy doesn't work in the current climate.
• Buying off-plan is not advisable right now. There's uncertainty, despite the "discount" provided. You may find that in the long run you are paying a premium on that property.

BEST MOMENTS

'You should only buy something that generates money for you today'

'Most people who are investing assume that they'll get really good capital growth'

'When you exchange contracts you are committed to buying that property'
