However, this does not address arrears tenants and landlords are still facing and the Government need to put together a bespoke package to help renters pay off their arrears with increased benefit support and hardship loans.   Property Investors Today reports that it is now ‘Landlords Market’ 10% of landlords are currently looking to expand their portfolio compared with only 3% at the end of 2019 and 82% of landlords claiming they would not look to purchase another investment property in 2020. Now landlords are looking to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday and this could see a spike in investments outside of city centres.     Progressive Property Community News   How can you invest 150k? Aim to leverage the investment by spreading it out into deposit pots to purchase up to five individual property investments. Additionally, 150k could be used to find JV partners and as a strategy to build out a much bigger property portfolio.   There is an opportunity to purchase unencumbered land, obtain planning and then use this as leverage to build out property units. The exit will be to sell some units and keep some for passive income. With this opportunity, it’s important to think about your cashflow strategy as well as the long-term capital gains that will come with this investment.   BEST MOMENTS“Extreme arrears is one of the few reasons for eviction during lockdown”“Renters have abused the ban on the re-possession exemption causing hardship”“Property in city centres no longer represent a good investment”“Now is an opportunity for landlords to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday” SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic CarsWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At7PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.
