Welcome to the Honest Property Sisters Podcast! Today, we are explaining two property investing strategies we’ve used to help supercharge our rental income: HMOs (Houses of Multiple Occupancy) and SAs (Serviced Accommodation). They are strategies that can boost your rental income by up to 50%, however there is a stark difference in how they operate, and a scale of effort and management required depending on the strategy you choose. These factors need to be considered when designing the life you want. We explain the jargon and explore the dynamics, regulations and benefits of both strategies - based on our own experiences.
