  • REVISTED: Why You Should NEVER Pay off Your Mortgage Early
    Mar 28 2024

    Mark has been investing in property for 15-20 years, approaching the 100 mark in terms of deals made and has a 70 million equity stake in various portfolios. One of the questions he repeatedly gets asked, is whether it is worth using additional cash to pay of your mortgage or if it is better to invest it elsewhere. Listen in to this episode to hear his thoughts and answers to this common question.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • If you are even slightly disciplined you should not pay your mortgage off. If you are worried about interest rates then look at fixed rate mortgages.
    • If you can invest your cash somewhere else, you will earn more back on that lump sum than you will be paying in interest on your mortgage.
    • Property is still by far the best investment opportunity particularly in terms of lending from banks; they will always give you a great interest rate on anything you borrow.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “Why would you want to pay of your mortgage if you can get consistently good returns by investing in your isa and getting much much higher investment returns”

    “You’ve got to make your money work for you, no one else will look after your money like you do”

  • What Does The Budget mean for Property Investors? Budget & News Update
    Mar 14 2024

    Mark gives an overview of the current news stories around property including new legislation and the recent budget. Mark also talks about the many changes around serviced accommodation, current house prices and gives his thoughts and opinions on why other markets aren’t investing in the UK.


    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • When governments reduce taxes, they generally find they receive more tax as people spend more in the economy.
    • Other markets aren’t investing in the UK as they don’t see our companies as efficient of innovative.
    • There are big changes happening in serviced accommodation, you will no longer be able to claim capital allowances on SA and much more planning will be needed for new serviced accommodation.
    • There have been more changes in the property market since Christmas with some areas seeing 10-15% drops.
    • It’s a fine balance between legislation to help renters and pushing landlords too far, reducing the rent stock further and making the problem worse.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "As you reduce tax rates, often the amount of tax you take increases”

    “The markets see our companies as nowhere near efficient”

    “You’re not going to be able to claim capital allowances on serviced accommodation”

    “Inflation is now at about 4%, we need 2%, we were and 10%”

    “Renters reform bill is on the brink of collapse”

    "It pushes rent up"

  • What I Learned on the Way to £40 Million
    Feb 29 2024

    Mark Homer reflects on his 20-year journey to becoming a multi-million-pound property CEO. Hear how he started with naive investments abroad, learned difficult lessons, and shifted his strategy to focus on local houses with strong cashflows. Mark explains his role as a "conductor" in assembling teams for each project, shares current real estate trends, and advises aspiring investors.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Focus on cash flow over capital growth for stable returns and safety during market downturns
    • Assemble specialists for each project rather than maintaining large in-house teams
    • Leverage permitted development rights to convert low-value buildings into prime real estate
    • Retail properties are undervalued currently due to the rise of e-commerce
    • Large-scale PRS apartment blocks are an emerging institutional investment class
    • Keep debt below 50% of asset values over the long term for sustainable growth

    BEST MOMENTS

    "So lots of investors are having to offload because of section 24."

    “I watched them make loads of money in a very short space of time. At the time, I had a friend who maybe bought something like 97, and within two or three years he’d made about 60 grand’s worth of equity."

    "I made a very, very poor investment. So I learned very, very quickly not to trust those who have a vested interest in selling me the property and to go out and do genuinely independent research to find out what something will actually rent for."

    "When I started in this sector, I was very much focused on capital growth. Capital growth is sexier to a lot of people. That’s probably, in reality, truthfully, where you make most of your money over the long run."

    "I also noticed on a much bigger scale that the wealthiest people in the country seemed to have made or had seemed to have invested their money into property. If you have a look down the rich list, the Sunday Times rich list that comes out every year, a lot of those were making their money from property."
