4 Free Things You Can Do To Skyrocket Your Buy to Let Property Journey Before You’re Deposit Ready

Let’s be honest, the aim as a successful Landlord Queen is to have a rental property that has a queue of your ideal, dreamy tenants lining up to rent your property, that want to stay long term, so you can maximise your return on investment, have peace of mind your investment is being taken care of and bloody well go live your life and love it! Thrive, not survive!

In a world that feels a little shaky and uncertain at the moment, one of the most asked question I’m getting at the moment is …”Is it a good idea to invest in Buy to Let property given the current economic climate?”

Can you believe that it was only 1975 that the Sex Discrimination Act was introduced and up until this point, it was still legal for banks to refuse women a mortgage without a MALE guarantor? Like WTAF?

When I looked at the predictions for the 2022 property trends, I actually felt a sense of excitement for the possibilities and opportunities that await us, for a year, which I feel for all of us, will be one of growth and success, however we measure that, and for making positive changes to our lives and others through the incredible power of property.

A Man is not a Financial Plan…..Have you seen the Netflix Dirty John: The Betty Broderick story? There’s a line in the third episode (I think) where Betty asks Dan (who is having an affair) to leave their family home and, in a nutshell, he shoots back that she’s the one that needs to leave because he pays for everything. Like what the AF?!

I don’t believe in doing things half assed. You’re either all in, or it’s not worth doing at all. i.e. if you’re going to become a landlord queen and provide a home, whilst earning money from it, you have a responsibility to do it the right way. Just saying.

But, if you’re anything like me, you also love living life and want one that isn’t all hustle and grind, but more ease and flow?

Imagine this…. what it will look and feel like when you’ve bought your first investment property, you’ve created and provided a beautiful and safe home for your dreamy tenants and the rental income is rolling in. It feels good, purposeful, exciting and satisfying, knowing that you’ve done something for your financial future, created more stability for yourself and knowing you’ve just made a difference, no matter how small you think that is, to someone else’s life. And that is pretty special.

“Always stick to the plan!!” This is what was told over and over again when I set up my first business. And it stuck with me, like a broken record, a relentless mantra, forever reminding me, even when what I was doing something that just didn’t feel right anymore I just needed to STICK TO THE PLAN.

I’ve always said this, but viewings are like a first (blind) date - an opportunity to see if you and your prospective tenants are going to be a match!
