Tips for Rent to Rent and Rent to Serviced Accommodation
For rent to rent, you need to get the landlord or owner on your side. So many people find a great opportunity online, they will do tonnes of research and bags of due diligence, building the value proposition case for themselves but they won't do the basic thing of contacting the landlord or owner. If you're doing rent to rent or rent to serviced accommodation, contact the landlord or owner first so you know they're actually interested in such a deal. If they say yes, then you need to work out if the mortgage needs changing to be right for the new use (maybe you're turning it from a single-use house to an HMO), you also need to make sure the property is compliant for the new usage. You can find out about these things by Googling the rules in that area.
