28 Mar How to create a profitable property portfolio

Thinking about venturing into the world of property investing? Perhaps you already own a few rentals and want to ensure you’re getting the most out of your investment? Either way, you’ve come to the right place. At Kaytons, we understand that property investing can be rewarding but to get it right it requires research, planning and guidance. That’s why we’ve created a dedicated team who are always on hand to help, and in our latest blog, we’ve even pulled together our must-know advice on how to create a profitable property portfolio in Manchester. 

Set out your goals 

Before you dive into property investment, it’s important to consider exactly what you want from this. For example, are you looking to increase your monthly income? Do you want to own a few extra properties that could be used for friends and family in the future? Is your goal long-term capital growth? Perhaps it might even be a combination of all three. Either way, understanding your objectives will help you when it comes to your strategy and property selection. 

Research the local market

Knowledge is key when it comes to property investment which is why it’s wise to look into areas that are popular with renters and have a good growth potential. Of course, if you don’t have the time to do this or don’t know where to start, this is where our team can help – providing insights on the Manchester property market and helping you to make those all-important decisions. 

Build a varied portfolio 

To help mitigate risks, a diverse approach can be beneficial. This includes investing in various properties such as residential or student accommodation, if your budget allows for it. Not only will this mean that your portfolio will cater to varying needs and tenants but it can also strengthen your position in the market and reduce any vulnerabilities. 

Budget and plan your finances 

Before purchasing a property, it’s important that you are aware of your financing options and budget. This is where mortgage advisors can help you, and at Kaytons we have an expert contact that we’re more than happy to introduce you to. Together, you can then ensure that you have a solid financial plan in place.

Review your investments 

The best investors are the ones that keep an eye on their portfolio, evolving it as the market does. As well as assessing market conditions, it’s important to analyse property performance and make any changes as needed. Again, this is an area where Kaytons can support you.
