In this week's episode of the Property Investors Podcast, hosts Russell and Anna Leeds discuss the controversial idea that buy-to-let investments are becoming increasingly unviable. They explore several factors contributing to the decline, such as Section 24 tax changes, rising interest rates, new licensing rules, and the increased costs associated with Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) regulations. The hosts also share real-life examples of landlords facing significant financial losses due to tenant disputes and government regulations.
As an alternative to traditional buy-to-let strategies, they recommend offering properties as serviced accommodation. They delve into the advantages of serviced accommodations, including higher rental income and fewer tenant-related issues. They even introduce a handy tool called 'Deal Sourcer' for conducting market research and finding profitable serviced accommodation options. This episode is a must-watch for property investors looking to adapt to the changing landscape and maximize their profits.
