Find Serco & Ready Homes Refugee Housing HMO. 10%+ Yield. PropertyData 

Ahh, unfortunately I've never used / come across right to buy. Sorry. As for a police station, assuming it's unused, the local council are likely to own the building. You can approach them to which they'd likely place it in auction to ensure they're seen to be achieving the best price for the tax payer.

It'll depend on the property. Ie some properties built since 2000 and over 3 floors already have fire doors, smoke detectors, etc in place - so would just be the cost of furniture. If it were a victorian terrace, you'd need a smoke detector for each bedroom, living room, hall and landing. Emergency lighting. Fire to each high risk fire area and the right number of bathrooms. It shouldn't be hugely costly - as you're aiming at a reasonable specification that's HMO compliant, rather than a top of the range HMO with say tvs in each bedroom.

Personally I haven't, though George from serco has presented at Norwich Property Meet and was rather helpful.

Hello Mark. The focus on low crime areas simply reflects what serco, or other providers require. If you had a property, or are looking to invest in an area using this strategy, they would confirm the details first. The contracts offered by serco are typically up to 7 years long, a landlord could continue to renew, though one wouldn't affect the value of an area. Also whether they are refugees or a typical tenant, the property would be looked after the same. An odd question, why would you want to devalue your own assets? Most active landlords use a buy, refurbish, refinance strategy to add value and improve assets - to then increase the value and equity in their property. I've plenty of videos running through those principles here. Thanks.

@@ZebraInvest If I partake in a rent-for-rent scheme for a property, it allows me to house refugees, which could inherently contribute to a reduction in housing prices. White papers have revealed that the influx of asylum seekers into the United Kingdom typically has a diminishing effect on housing prices in England and Wales, especially in regions participating in the UK's housing dispersal program. Surely, one must be aware of the impact this could have on the local housing market.

@markhenry4146 thanks for your comment. My video is simply explaining a strategy, not the pros, cons, or any opinions. I'm not entering a discussion regarding immigration.

@ZebraInvest Buddy, I'm not looking to argue about the ethics or implications of migration. That is not my concern. My questions are nothing to do with morals and asking your advice on property 🤣 My focus is on property values and equity. According to research in a white paper, introducing migrants to a specific area is likely to reduce the value of property in that area over a period of five years. So the question arises: while bringing in migrants may be good for cash flow, how does this affect property values? Will it decrease the value of that property and those around it?" If I rent to rent, I equity doesn't apply to me. Therefore, I don't care. If I own the property, then I do care as my equity will decrease. If I have more than one property, then this could be a really bad move. Does that position make sense? I am just posing a question of property, not a moral or ethical question on migration.

And some people don't have a home to live in. The video is simply to explain another potential investment strategy to others.

When ur ancestors were colonizing the globe and Africa were they not fueling the problem??
