IN THIS EPISODE

Your podcast host Matt Harris talks with Jamie Madill & Steve Mitchell about how to pay for the furniture your HMO property. Buying brand new furniture for your HMO property could cost you a small fortune – what can you do if you don’t have the money?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Jamie and Steve’s first few properties meant they had to buy all the furniture outright as they didn’t know any other option existed. They initially used a 0% credit card to spread the cost. Using the rental profit from the HMOs to pay off the card was a safe but very slow way to finance the growth of their Rent2Rent HMO portfolio.
  2. Later they found out the benefits of leasing furniture, meaning they spent little or none of their own funds to get every new HMO generating rental income.
  3. Then when they started buying and refurbishing their own HMOs, they found they could also use lease payments to finance some of the refurbishment works too.

BEST MOMENTS

  • “Our option was either to spend £7,000 cash from the business or spread the cost with a lease plan costing £200 plus VAT per month"
  • “You could claim the tax back – that’s a saving of 20%”
  • “In my head it’s similar to leasing a car, right?“
