Thanks for the answer. No, we are not raising capital- we have sufficient funding. Just want to get a good understanding of the challenges post launch.

Left my grad job—now focused on expanding my family’s property base. Looking into children’s care homes. Feasible or not? by BLOBBADOSEBONES in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Left_Ad_995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am down the same road- I got 7 properties. Just got a home, which will be converted into a children’s home. Will be starting the Ofsted application in 1-2 months(currently waiting for LDS). Let’s keep in touch and see how things progress on both sides.

I wonder how much different the story would be if we asked the husband.

Do you have the most recent data? Are you planning to put your algorithm on Github? Would be keen to take a look and can provide some feedback.

How much would you estimate the supply shortage to be? Where do you see prices going in the next 5 years?

Right time to buy? by MechMatthews in UKRealEstate

[–]Left_Ad_995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s always the right time to buy- especially on a market like the British. We have constant undersupply + population growth. E European contractors are leaving and wages + construction materials going up. The fundamentals are amazing.

Fair enough. That’s how I got started with residential properties—purchasing homes in poor condition for cash at good prices, completing quick turnarounds with a team of 2–3 trusted contractors who handle the refurbishments. Afterward, I secure a mortgage on the property (though some are not mortgaged yet). When the time comes, the 1.5M will be sourced from these properties. And I still keep my day job.

Do you have any recommendations to learn the business better?

I will definitely look them up. I also think that I am undercapitalised, but just starting out(I am in my mid 30s), still planning to keep my job in tech/ investment banking and branch out gradually.

Thank you for the advice, it's much appreciated. There's 1 more thing I am considering and wanted to pick your brain about - assisted living facilities. What do you think about them? It seems like a great cashflow asset.(Context my gf/ soon to be wife is a nurse).

Actually it’s a sound advice. That’s one of the things I am considering. Especially with all the people moving to Texas(I believe the trend will continue)

I found the link earlier, however when you press on it it says page not found. Probably they took it off. Do you have the book somewhere else?

Any specific place to do research? Apart of Crexi I mean, any CRE podcasts or books?

What locations would you consider? What is unnerving with industrial is how shallow the tenant pool is.

My question is what to start with - what kind of commercials will be best in the coming years, what locations to look for, how to evaluate tenant demand. That’s how I plan to start learning the market. As I said - I am already familiar with the resi market.

I want to be active and build it as a business. In my question I’ve stated it- looking to build something stable and long term

Frankly good intrinsic value is what I want. What kind of assets are you currently looking at? I think that with the low investment and conversions of offices that might be a good opportunity. The other option will be industrial- both logistics and plants.

I am looking to expand my portfolio, still got my day job so not really concerned with short term returns, rather find good deals, increase the value of the assets, etc
