What should I buy?
This seems a simple question on the surface but the answer is not so simple. Obviously a great deal depends on how much you have to invest. Should you buy new/off-plan or an older property? Should you buy a flat or a house? Should it be ready to let or need some work?There is a different answer for each investor. Only you know the extent of your skills in DIY etc. If you have the time and ability then you could save money on the purchase costs by buying a property that needs work done. On the other hand a ready-to-let property will mean that you should reduce the void period; particularly if you can arrange viewing once you have exchanged contracts rather than wait for completion. If you have enough money to buy two properties then try to stagger the purchase so that at least one property can be advertised as available to let before purchasing the second.
