Why Social Housing - The benefits to you as a property investor - Sue Sims
Sue Sims bought her first buy-to-let property at 21 - a shop with a flat over it. She didn’t do much with it for the next 16 years. But then she started investing in more properties, getting more education, meeting more people and going in on some joint ventures.
30 years on and she now has more than 45 properties in and around Birmingham.
Sue, not only runs her portfolio, but she also mentors new investors, has her own lettings agency / HMO management agency Genie Homes (which runs out of her original shop).
Additionally, she has been instrumental in raising the profile of social housing and how it can be part of every investor's portfolio. Sue's own portfolio is 75% social housing properties and the rest is a mix of SA, BTL and HMOs."
Sue will be speaking about social housing and why it's becoming an even more popular option with the renters rights bill coming into force.
During her presentation you will learn:
- Numbers
- Type of properties
- How to find social housing providers
- What are the benefits to you as a property owners
ALSO...The Light Bulb Moment - Jeff Topp
