Being wealthy is not only having enough money to meet your needs but being able to afford not to work if you do not have to. It is about amassing assets and making your money work for you.

As a landlord, the rental yield of a buy-to-let can affect whether you buy a property in the first place. After that, it can help you monitor your investment's ongoing profitability and performance. This is a key performance indicator which will drive forward your investment portfolio and hedge you against unexpected events. Jim Parker has been adapting his strategy over the last 30 years to guarantee success.

As a fast and chain-free way to start or add to your lettings portfolio, buying a tenanted property can be an attractive proposition. Usually, when you buy a property to rent out, you’ll need to have it cleaned, fix any repairs, get it on the market, show people around, take up references and create a tenancy agreement before seeing any income. But that’s all taken care of when the property you buy already has a tenant.

FPTV (EP 37) SETTING THE SCENE: How to Be Ready for Viewings Every Day in Fife
People always ask us how their home should look on viewings or whether they can improve presentation. This can often lead to an increased offer. While no one expects you to live in a perfect show home, buyers do react well to a bit of pizzazz and polish.

I believe every market across the US is experiencing this problem. Note: In case you’re asking, more than 95% of the trans...
