This blog is dedicated to helping you find, finance and let high-yielding buy-to-let property in the UK.
What's a high-yielding property? I would define a high-yielder as 8%+. Yield is calculated by taking the annual rent and dividing it by the purchase price, e.g., £1000 annual rent / £100,000 purchase price = 10% yield.
Why high-yielding property? Because high-yielding property will, if chosen wisely, put money in your pocket each month. What's more, the idea that capital appreciation is sacrificed for a higher-yield isn't true in my experience. Properties which offer a high-yield are always attractive to property investors. As the rental income increases, the yield gets higher and so becomes more attractive to investors, which creates upwards pressure on the price.

The Buy-to-let Bible
Perhaps the best book I've read on property investing! Unlike many buy-to-let books, The Buy-to-let Bible provides specific, practical advice that you can use rather than woolly theory.

Rich dad, poor dad This was a really influential book for me. It taught me about assets and passive streams of income - two concepts which have shaped how I invest. It's also great for the beginner because it's an easy read and also teaches you to be less afraid of risk.

Buying bargains at property auctions I've bought this book and found it quite easy to read and a useful guide. I've never bought at auction, but maybe I will one day.

Thanks for dropping into my blog. Thought I'd pop over and have at a look at this. This is one I will be following,as it is an area I am interested in. Ultimately, I am looking at property and trading to produce the "real money" once everything else is set up. Good luck with it.
Hi Matt
I am about to start purchasing high yield property this month.
I have also looked at the US, there are some amazing deals out there, yes some of the properties need a little work, but I think if you can find a good contractor, then it solves alot of problems.
I noticed that you are also interested in the US, I think there are important tax issues to consider, and I wondered if you had spoken to anyone yet regarding tax.
Kind regards
Gareth
Hi Gareth,
I've looked into the tax situation and have a few details I can pass on. I'm looking to get together some info on investing in the US too as I'm getting a few enquiries. Drop me an email at matthew.beech@gmail.com. Good luck and let me know how you get on in the US.
Matt
