In this episode, Kevin explains why there a lot of landlords out there who are already struggling with their investment properties and why things are likely to get worse for many of them. 



Section 24 is already an issue and increasing energy bills are now a big problem. New EPC regulations are also on the horizon and that is going to have a significant impact financially on a lot of landlords - and not in a good way!



With Serviced Accommodation you can either avoid these issues or cope with them a lot better.



KEY TAKEAWAYS


Landlords are facing multiple issues which switching to SA can ease.
Everyone likes win-wins, you can help landlords to solve their issues, while profiting yourself.
Many landlords will need to spend thousands to meet EPC standards by 2025, with SA you don´t have to.
With SA you can potentially use an app to control the heating, to reduce power costs.
With SA you can use capital allowances to 35% of the property´s value to earn tax free income.
With SA any energy saving plant or machinery e.g., solar panels, generates 150% relief.
Even if you do not have the cash to buy you can still benefit by using the rent to buy SA model.



BEST MOMENTS

‘There´s never been a better time than now to create these win-win situations.’

‘Where there is adversity, there are opportunities.’

The Serviced Accommodation Property Podcast

Create a Win-Win in property and you have cracked the code!

Today´s guest Shimon Rudich is a prolific property investor who has used all of the different strategies and taught over 13,000 people to do the same. He also runs MS Law, a firm Kevin has personally used, for many years.

For this episode, Shimon focuses on creative financing strategies. In particular, the different ways you can use lease options, title-splitting and commercial to residential deals. Importantly, Shimon also explains how to avoid the most common issues with these more creative property investment strategies.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Using lease options avoids the need for a deposit, or a mortgage and avoids all kinds of legal fees.
Lease options enable you to make money from a property as if it were already yours.
Use short lease options to make money faster.
Exercise your right to buy as soon as you can. 
Don´t forget to exercise your right to buy on time. Surprisingly, a lot of people do forget to do so.
Be realistic and fully understand what happens if the vendor or tenant breaks the contract.
You must keep in touch with the vendor throughout the lease period. Shimon explains why not doing so can cost you a lot of money.
Look for large properties with a staircase in the middle to convert into flats and use title-splitting.
Title-splitting can be used for commercial conversions, which are still incredibly profitable. Especially when combined with SA.
Win wins clinch deals fast.
Always use proper joint venture agreements drawn up by a contract solicitor.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I have a vested interest that you are successful – I make money only if you are successful.’

‘The best way to get people (the vendor) to stay in touch is to incentivise them.’

‘If you are not closing deals every single month you are not doing something right.’

‘You can still make money from commercial conventions, even if you don't have any money. ’

Interview with Shimon Rudich – Prolific Property Investor and Owner of MS Law

This episode is Kevin´s initial reaction to the UK´s Spring Budget of 2024 and other reforms. Including the Renter´s Reform Bill, the abolition of section 24, changes to the furnished holiday let tax regime, new short-term rental regimes, enhanced fire safety standards, the Tour Operators Margin Schemes (TOMS) and more. Kevin explains why despite the changes, building and running a property portfolio is still an excellent business option, especially the various SA models.

Listen to find out how to navigate these changes and turn them to your advantage.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Changes to legislation, the market etc. are inevitable. No matter what that change is the answer is always to stay calm, adapt and carry on.
Lots of people are put off by change, so will leave the sector, which creates more opportunities for those who persevere.
Often, seemingly negative changes actually generate more opportunities e.g. SA went nuts during CoVid.
There are always ways around things. New ways to do business.
Most of the SA-related changes do not affect hotels or B&Bs.
The rent to SA playing field just got better.
More Buy to Let landlords are going to say yes to rent to SA.
The VAT changes creates more opportunities.
Commercial conversion to SA is not affected by the new legislation.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When more people pull out of the sector that just creates opportunities.’

‘The Renter´s Reform Bill is actually going to help serviced accommodation.’

‘Hysterical headlines are going to help.’

Keep Calm and Carry On - Where There is Adversity There is Opportunity

Today’s episode of the Serviced Accommodation Podcast is all about turning guesthouses, B&Bs and hotels into apart-hotels. Something that Mark Hodgkiss has already done several times, so the information in this podcast is like gold dust.

It includes how to source properties, convince owners to sell, structure an exchange with a delayed completion deal, finance it, complete the transformation, and run the business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Turning hotels and B&Bs into serviced accommodation (SA), should not be the first SA deal you do.
B&Bs are typically found in central locations, undervalued and there are not many buyers.
Adding rooms and improving the quality of the rooms can easily double profitability.
Locals typically view this type of development favourably.
Apart hotels are not 100% hands-off, but they are easier to run than you think.
Adding kitchenettes makes them more attractive.
You don´t have to necessarily wait until the business is put up for sale. Mark explains how to approach owners and put a business proposition to them that is hard to resist.

BEST MOMENTS

‘That will result in almost doubling of the business.’

‘It´s not set and forget, but it´s getting easier.’

‘If you can offer the tools to be able to fulfil what they need out of the sale you are in a good position.’
