from first HMO

"One year ago we had no experience, no active deals and full-time careers. That timeline has now halved."
Twelve months ago Catherine and Guy had no property experience, no active deals and full-time careers. After joining The Academy and committing to learning properly before jumping into a deal, everything changed. Today they have a completed 6-bed HMO in North London generating £2,830 net profit per month, a second conversion underway and a third deal agreed. Their second project is funded using 100% private finance from two other Academy members — personal capital invested: £0. Originally their goal was five years to leave employment. That target has now halved to two.

"Having that guidance, combined with proper due diligence and the discipline to stick to the plan, allowed me to secure a cash-flowing asset."
As a busy working mum of three, Dilusha needed a strategy that would generate income immediately without a heavy refurbishment project. After joining The Academy she found a turnkey HMO through an online auction, had the legal pack reviewed by the Academy solicitor and stress-tested the figures with her coach, agreeing a maximum bid before the auction began. The bid was accepted at £220,000. The property is leased to a care company at £2,400 per month. After mortgage costs and maintenance it generates £1,300 per month cash flow at a 19% return on investment.

"By combining smart project management, quality refurbishment and a strong SA model, I will earn nearly all my money back within six months."
Tim's BRR SA project: purchase price £375,000, stamp duty and legals £30,000 to £35,000, renovation £60,000 — total invested around £475,000. On completion the property is expected to value at £550,000 to £570,000, allowing a refinance to pull out up to £450,000 and recycle most of the capital into the next deal. Expected Year 1 revenue: £95,000. Minimum Year 2 revenue: £120,000. Most of the initial investment returned within six months.
