HOW DO I KNOW IF A PROPERTY DEAL IS GOOD OR NOT? This is a great QUESTION! Most people look for a magic number. The truth is : a “good deal” is one that hits your metrics and aligns with your goal. Deals are made, not found — so set your rules, then make the deal fit them or walk away. Quick check before I prescribe: What’s your primary focus right now — cash flow or capital growth? And what’s your experience level with property investment? Here’s the simple operating system I use with clients: Define your metrics first BTL: target monthly cash flow after ALL costs, minimum ROI, and yield. I like ROI as the headline: annual profit divided by total cash in. Flip: target profit on cost and GDV margin. Example: 20%+ on cost or 15%+ on GDV as a baseline. HMO/other: room rates, occupancy, NOI, ROI. Price is what you pay, value is what you get. Work out true market value from comparable recent solds within the same post code first then extending to 1/4 mile ,1/2 and 1 mile with the same number of beds ,same size and with same or similar conditions etc. Forget the asking price — offer what works for your numbers. Your max offer is the lower of: market value, and the price that still hits your metrics. Stack the five variables that actually move the needle. You usually change just a few numbers: End value or achievable rent Refurb cost and timeline. Finance cost. Number of rentable units/rooms. Purchase price. Everything else should be standardised in your model. Cash flow and ROI test for buy-to-let. Will it rent quickly, and for how much? Use live listings and calls to local agents to sanity check. Include every cost: mortgage, insurance, management, maintenance, voids- ground rent/service charge if a flat (Service chargers in some areas such as in London or Manchester can be deal maker or broker !). If ROI and monthly cash flow don’t meet target even when you push price down, it’s not your deal. Motivation over prettiness . We’re not looking for properties, we’re looking for motivated sellers with problems need to be solved . Condition issues, long time on market, price reductions, fall-throughs — that’s where you can make terms and price work.

Hey @Ryan McBride & @Amar Khan 👋 Welcome on Creative Property Skool Community. I hope you will enjoy your stay here . You may briefly introduce yourself. You can tell a bit more yourself ...What you do, what you want to do and what you want to achieve... What are your expiration and goals... To have a nice car 🚗 Posh ,Mercedes...Red or green ; Holiday in the son let's say in Mediterranean such as Türkiye 🇹🇷 or Greece or Spain perhaps... How about to get your first Lease Option or Assisted Sale over the line next 6 months or earlier etc .

Dear Creative Property Investors, As you know, part of our job and mission as investors is to explain others what we are doing and what we are trying to achieve ... In that way, we are hoping to find new investors , new investment opportunities and new business partners to cooperate and colobrate with etc. Therefore, as part of this mission, I went down to London the other day to attend one of these networking events in London Bridge, Central London Property Network! I have met so many like-minded people and made new friends too 👌 London I think is still epicentre and big actions are happining there... Big money 💰 and wealth are also concentrated in the South and in London in particular. As you can see from the pictures 📸 London is buzzing! Some of the pictures were taken just outside of the venue , London Bridge Hotel. My new year resolution is to attend more events like these in the new year 🤞 I know that it might beca little early to prepare for the new year (before that we have Christmas !) ...but still we need to prepare and plan ahead . Do you hsve any pledges or resolutions for the new year and for the future ! Please let us wish each others good luck in this endeavour and challanges! Good luck everybody 🙏

Dear CREATIVE PROPERTY SKOOL COMMUNITY members , Someone has asked the following question/s in another property group.. Here is the question (I have just quoted ).. Also my replies and feedback (below) (Please note that this is also my quick reply and it was not edited ). if you would like to comment or explore further you are all wellcome pray👍 "Hi everyone! Quick question, if your own home is worth 200k more than your mortgage. Would you sell, rent something cheap and invest the money in gold, silver, buy to let properties (or something else)? Or would you do it differently? Would like to hear some different opinions on this." ....... ................................ MY REPLIES: Dear D...., This is a great question. As you know I only invest "Creatively " 'I also preach this 😁 ... I believe that the "Cash is king "! Therefore, having some cash is always helpful and make our life easier in vclosing deals "creatively " too ... (We will be also covering: "HOW TO RAISE MONEY 💰 " too ! ...So as to the question my main is alway yo close deals creatively ...If this not possible ...offer as little cash of our own and use our and others money (UOM) and funds effectively and wisely! Therefore, we can't wait and invest ...I invest and wait for long term...!🤞 You can't live in fear and stop investing either! Some say the "crash" is happening and it is already with us anyway ! I do not expect big crash - some do ...Perhaps there will be only some correction...even then the market and property prices will bounce back quickly and start to rise againeven faster thsn before (By the way this is also a historical trend ...) ...because all the fundamentals are there ie.There is not enough houses and not enough being built ; and people always shelter and accommodations ! ................. ...I might perhaps add the following (additional post ): If you do not want to over-leaverage then you might still leave around 20-25% money in💰 and you can still take the rest of the equity out and invest on the principles I have highlighted above and invest visely!
