My strategy is based on:
• Gaining clarity of risk-reward.
• A focus on my buying skills, meaning targeting owners directly to buy a property not currently for sale.
• Deep analysis of recent EIG Auction Data as Rightmove and Land Registry data is always out of date. I analyse all local auction sales’ interest levels.
• Emphasising due diligence, based on cutting edge data.
• Creating equity, via buying skills or refurbishments.
• Location, and understanding buyers and sellers’ market (‘invisible borders’ rule).
• Reducing the general ‘hassle factor’ with an emphasis on lowering tenant churn in all decisions.
• Generating enough cash-flows for repayment mortgages – for 70% of my portfolio via ”right room configuration” and locations with low HMO room churn.
• Hedging for inevitable market downturns, similar to strategies commonly used by Hedge funds.

My deals typically come from:
• We Buy Any House Liverpool.
• Targeted relationships with the ‘right’ agents.
• Alert management and specialist crawling software, generally not used by my competitors.
• Walking the streets with myself and my land buyer at weekends to create (true) off market deals.
