I love property investing.

Hi, my name is Tony Law for Your First Four Houses.
And I teach people how to build a small property portfolio
that generates a great income for them,
so they can give up the day if they wish
because they're now financially free.

So, about three years ago, I did a video
on why I love property investing.
And I thought it was long overdue to update
that video because many of the reasons
that were in the original video have changed.
So, I thought I'd share my top 10 reasons why I personally
love property investing and why I'd love you
to start building your own portfolio.
So, the first reason is people will
always need a place to live.
This si the case no matter where
you're based in the country.
There is usually gonna be an over-demand
for accommodation and an under-supply.
And that's pretty much across most
strategies that are out there.
Admittedly, with some, there is some
over-saturation in some areas,
but generally speaking, there's a far
greater demand than there is a supply.
I can buy property below market value.
And the truth is that I never used to
believe that this is possible,
but I've done it now many, many times,
buying property 20, 25, 30, 35,
even as much as 40% below market value in my area.
Admittedly, you gotta work hard to find those deals,
but they are out there.
I have the ability to add massive
value to many types of properties.
Now, you've gotta go out there
and look for these types of deals,
and I'm not talking about a lick of paint.
I'm talking about massive tangible value
over and above what it costs you to add that value,
but those deals are out there.
I bet there's something fantastic
within a mile's radius of where you live.
You just haven't found it yet.
So, go out and look for those types of deals.
I can use leverage to fund part of my deal.
Now, of course, I'm fully aware of
the huge tax changes that have happened
in our property world, but the truth is,
you can still effectively use leverage
to finance parts of your deal.
And that's something that you can't do
with many other types of investing strategies.
You need to speak to your accountant so you minimise tax,
and in particular, the whole Section 24 issue.
So, do that, have that conversation.
But you can use leverage to finance parts of your deals.
You do not need big funds to get started.
The truth is, you can actually start with no money at all.
And there are lots of ways that you can do that.
And, certainly, in my course,
in my online Property Masterclass Programme,
I teach all of those different types of strategies.
But, honestly, you can invest with either
no funds or limited funds.
You have to use certain types of strategies,
but you can do it, it is possible.
By the way, if you're finding this video
in any way helpful, I would love if you'd
just take a moment to click on that like button.
It really helps me, if that's okay.
There are two long-term ways to make a profit from property.
Obviously, the first of these is cash flow.
Every deal you do, should be cash flowing
and putting money in your pocket each and every month.
And the second way is, now I know property's
a bit of a roller coaster.
Prices go up and down, up and down.
But over the longer term, I personally am
really quite confident that capital growth
is gonna be a really positive reason
as to how I make profit on my portfolio.
Unlike with most jobs, your property business
can be fully hands off.
You don't actually have to be present
to actually make money.
It's not like going to a job, which, of course,
is what most people do.
They kinda do a job, they work all their lives,
very hard, long hours each week,
but with property, you don't have to do that.
You can a very profitable property business
and be completely hands off.
There's a huge variety of investments available to you.
You can invest in single lets.
You could have HMOs.
You could have service accommodation.
You could kinda go down a developing route.
You could use property options to control properties
and then do something with them.
Honestly, there are so many different
strategies available to you.
Inside trading is legal (laughs).
Now, I picked this up from another YouTuber,
I have to be really honest with you.
But I thought it was a really, really good example.
Biggerpockets.com, you should check them out.
But the truth is, insider trading is
a legal way to actually do business.
What do I mean by that?
Well, if you learned something
about a certain type of stock,
if you were to actually act on that
and it wasn't common knowledge, technically,
that would be illegal as I understand it,
although I'm certainly not an expert in this area.
But with property, if you learn that a new
employer is moving into an area,
you can actually take action and invest a meeting
around where that employer's going to be.
Or maybe it's a new transport link or something like that.
You can take action and invest around the area.
And as a directly result, almost certainly,
benefit from the long-term uplift in value.
And lastly, property investing isn't new.
It's worked for millions of people over the past century.
I think we all know, don't we, that the super rich,
generally speaking, tend to have some vestments in property.
I mean, over the longer term, wouldn't you wanna
have your money in bricks and mortar?
In my opinion, it just makes total sense.
So, there you go.
There's my top 10 reasons as to why I love property
investing and will continue to do so over the longer term,
but I would love to know what it is
that you find attractive about property.
