HMO Investing Money and Finance Wendy Whittaker-Large  

How to FUND your HMO Project!

You’ve heard the phrase ‘ Money Talks’ no doubt. But if all yours has ever said to you is ‘Goodbye I’m off’ then you’ll know that making money from property is not as easy as it looks!

Funding your project is often the hardest part of the system unless you know what you’re doing! If you’ve FOUND a great property but have no money to buy it or develop it. you are well and truly STUCK.

Here are some of my top tips for ensuring that you DON’T GET STUCK without money when you are investing in HMOs…

1) Your money mindset is the most important part of the process.
If you believe, trust and TAKE ACTION, you can raise as much money as you want to. I know this may seem a little airy fairy, but trust me, I have worked with many people who say that the difference between being wealthy and being broke is what is between your ears! Not what you can do, your background or your education. It is purely how you THINK and ACT that makes the difference.

2) Create a clear budget for what you need.
Purchase Price – £140,000
Refurb costs – £50,000
Legals – £700
Stamp Duty – £4,500
TOTAL = £195,250
It looks like a lot of money doesn’t it? But how about if you break it down and challenge yourself to raise each part, bit by bit? (In reality most of this will come from your investor but it’s a great challenge to get lots of little pieces and put them together).

3) Do the maths on the project
How many rooms will you create: 6
How much will the monthly rent be on average per room: £600
Total Annual Rent: £43,200
With those figures you can work out the Return on Investment for your investor, your yield and the possible re-valuation at the end. It’s not an exact science as there will be voids, maintenance and so on. The key thing is to understand the maths behind it, so that you can give your investor some rough ideas as to their return.

4) Create a compelling reason why your investor should work with you
This might be because of your personality, your work experience, or your relationship with them. It is very rarely just about property investing experience or money.


5) Network and learn continually.
You are always pitching, whether you realise it or not. Your social media, your emails, your meetings and your networking say a TON about who you are. Make it great and make it memorable. People will fall at your feet to lend you money!
