In this Q&A podcast, Kevin speaks to Mark Ormrod MBE. He is a former Royal Marine and an Invictus Game athlete. As well as a motivational speaker and author. For the past 10 years, he has worked for a Royal Marines charity.



During that time, he also invested in property and is now considering moving into the field of Serviced Accommodation. Using a Q&A format Kevin shares details of how to do that successfully in the current climate. He explains how to systemize the processes so that this kind of business can be run at scale. Including the rent to SA model that anyone can set up without needing a lot of capital to do so. Kevin also covers practical things like using a channel manager to make sure that you do not get double booked.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
Running a serviced accommodation business is a viable way to make a semi-passive income.
You can be hands-on with a SA business, or once you have systemized things, get someone else to run it for you.
Currently, you can earn a lot more money from serviced accommodation than you can from HMO or buy to let.
Location is key to success when it comes to SA, but it does not have to be tourist related.
It is possible to rent a property from someone else and put SA clients in it. This is a business model that requires virtually zero capital.
There are big financial and tax benefits to using the rent for SA model.
Using lease purchase options is a good way to buy property and make full use of capital allowances.
Using multiple advertising channels is the secret to keeping your serviced accommodation full.
A channel manager is an essential tool for a SA property owner.
In the podcast, Kevin explains how to leverage the knowledge that SA management companies have.
If you plan to use an SA management company, it is possible to use Booking.com to check their service out and hire the one that will do the best job.



BEST MOMENTS

‘Working hard to build someone else´s empire, doesn’t appeal to me anymore.’

‘Location is key when it comes to SA. ‘

‘I like at least two-bed properties upwards; I prefer houses over apartments. ‘
