The whole concept of investing in below market value
properties came about due to lack of demand from NORMAL
buyers.Lack of demand for property
resulted in the property investment model changing.The old model pre-2007 was:
Put down 10-15% deposit, buy, remortgage and then buy more!
It was great.Then the
credit crunch hit in 2007 and the model was:
Get 25% discount, buy, then buy, then buy more, then buy, buy ,buy,
BUY!
No longer was the investor having to find 25% deposits as
this could be factored in due the hard bargaining that had gone on.Awesome.
However I think the end is nearing.2010 will result in a new model.Now I do not know what this model will be but
I suspect it will be a hybrid of the two models above and will last only a
year.
The model will be:
Put down 10-15% deposit, get a 20% discount, buy, remortgage and buy
more!
So there will need to be some cash input from the
investor.The reason being is demand for
property has picked up.Down valuations
are no longer a risk for us as surveyors are optimistic now.
If an 80% or 85% buy to let mortgage comes out then you will
be able to do no money down but until then there will be a cash input needed I reckon.If you get something 25% BMV I would jump at
it!
So my advice to you is go out there and raise some
cash.I think you can get loans, credit
cards and overdrafts.I did it back in 2000
to get where I am today.Unfortunately
this method is no longer applicable to me as I would want to raise at least a million
which is not possible this method.But
if you need a quick £50k (nifty fifty!) then going to your high street could be
perfect.£50k can buy you 5 to 8
properties.
Then you will be able to capture all the top deals that are around
20% BMV.
