COVID-19 Update, Property Market Crash & What to Buy

If you’re wondering what life after lockdown will look like for the property market then tune in today to discover how to make the most out of a rare opportunity. Mark discusses when best to purchase property at the lowest price point, to the safest revenue streams if you’re just starting out and what strategies you should use when investing post COVID-19.KEY TAKEAWAYS: There is likely to be a decline in house prices once Estate Agents are back up and running again. Unemployment will rise significantly therefore the pressure on housing prices to fall will be great. There will however be many opportunities to buy cheaper with increased yields with many people preferring to rent rather than buy. No money down is still possible. You could look into ‘rent to rent’ deals which may include a very low amount of money to be used for legalities. You could also look into JV partnerships which include little to none of your own money used as well as leases on properties to reduce the capital that you need to put in up front to zero, here making it no money down. If you are starting out in property at this moment in time, it would be advisable to go with single let properties as well as HMOs and to stay away from hotels and serviced accommodation. When we come out of lockdown the economic crisis will not suddenly revert. There will be a period of time where it will be quite depressing, there will be a nice window of opportunity to purchase properties at a lower price point than before the pandemic.
