I wouldn't go for a Spain, not enough confidence in there, it seems like a nice candy, but actually… I would stick with safe and confident investment.
I would agree with everyone – it is always better to go with professional and be happy about work done rather than go for cheapest one and end up paying much more down the line.
Hmm,
I have never been NOT ALLOWED to take pictures of property when viewing it, but I am here in UK, that's different…
Hi Gazza21,
Yes, we turn property into multi let and vendor is always aware of it. Gazza, are you based in UK?
Most of the times we don't need HMO license, because in area we invest, we need license for properties which are more than 3 levels, we simply choose properties that are 2 levels, mostly they are 4 bed and 2 reception – so we still have 6 room to rent out.
We always provide smoke alarms to all habitable rooms, sprinklers, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers… But we don't really remove all features we have provided, only thing we remove from property after agreement is expired is our own furniture if it is in good condition.
Hi Mattnz,
We usually rent it out as single let property, depending on property state and pay landlord a rent that's apples for area, we don't really use rental yields, in fact I am not sure how would you calculate it in this situation, because we are not buying property.
Most of properties are partly furnished from landlords and then we see which furniture we can use and which not. After we would furnish property properly and dress it up nicely, also we provide all fire safety and water sprinkles in property.
Regards your question about maintaining – we repair everything for 5 – 10 years, excluding structural repairs and heating boilers.
Hope this answer your questions, if you need some more info about legal paperwork or anything, let me know.
Been looking at this conversation for a while, I think you have a very good point Freckle.
Hmm,
I have found it trough my friend who owns online estate agency, if any of you need it, feel free to contact me.
Hi Mattnz,
Thank you for asking this questi.on.
In other words we could call it as sub-letting. We lease property from landlords for usually 3 – 10 years with their written permission to sub let it by rooms. We pay landlord guaranteed rent with no void periods, we manage and maintain property and we let it out on room by room basis.
Hope it helps.
Very often we change just doors too if the rest is fine, but most of time we do it when we are looking to sell property fast here in UK.

Thank you Richard for advice, do appreciate!
We might consider moving over there in 10 years time
Thank you Paul for advice.
It seems that it is very different in Australia, it seems it is a bit more relaxed here, although the strategy we are working with comes from Australian investor.
Thanks again!
I am going to Property networking next week and will give a shout to guys there always are quite a lot of people from Detroit.
Also, if anyone is interested with help of our mentor we have found out answer how to structure this deal.
We will buy it as 2 separate 4 bedroom houses for £600k cash, as on title they are still as freehold houses.
Then we will give notice to tenants to empty all 6 flats, we will gather all paperwork to register them as separate flats. After we will divide freehold in 6 leases. Do major refurbishment and after a year when all work is completed we will sell every single flat in auction for aprox. £990k.
Hope this will help anyone who was facing similar question.
Hi JacM,
Jus to know in future, as I am investing in UK, shall I post all my posts in Overseas deals, even if it is creative financing, commercial or help needed?
Thanks for advice!
Hi Richard, do you know about UK market too. I am looking for managing agreement. I am member of RLA, but they don't really provide this type of paperwork there.
Thanks

Jamie strategy is great, I would also look for some LO or IC properties to boost cash flow – that's how I become full time property investor.
All the best.
Hi Paul,
Yes we have found out this already and we are getting together all this paperwork required, but it is in our interest to buy it as 2 houses not as 6 flats, as we are buying them for £250k less than market value, and after completion we will register all 6 flats.
Hi Jamie,
It is UK – London.
