Serviced accommodation can be an incredibly lucrative way to invest in property - but only if you know how to manage your costs, maximize your income, and recycle your capital. In this post, we break down a real project with Tim in Leicestershire, showing how the right strategy can help you get nearly all your money back out, while earning impressive returns from day one.
Behind the Scenes: Tim’s Latest Project
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tim for just under a year, and today we’re standing inside one of his soon-to-be finished serviced accommodation properties. Tim’s approach is a great example of how planning, numbers, and a little support can turn a property into a cash-flowing asset.
The Serviced Accommodation Model: Why It
Works
Serviced accommodation is like a mix between a hotel and a rental. Instead of renting to one person long-term, you rent by the night or week to business travelers, contractors, or tourists.
The Numbers That Matter! Here’s How Tim’s Project Stacks Up
Tim expects the property to be valued at £550,000–£570,000 when finished, allowing him to refinance and pull out up to £450,000. That means most of his initial investment is recycled for the next deal.
Projected Returns
What does all that investment deliver?
By combining smart project management, quality refurbishment, and a strong serviced accommodation model, Tim will earn nearly all his money back within six months. The property then generates serious income, year after year.
Why This Strategy Works
Tim’s story highlights three key principles for successful serviced accommodation investment:
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking to make your money work harder in property, Tim’s project shows what’s possible with the right approach. By focusing on refurbishment, refinance, and high-yield serviced accommodation, you can build long-term income - and get your capital back fast to reinvest.
