I bought into Lexington Realty recently and so far so good. Loving your work! I'm new to trading and your videos have been priceless as I'm on a LOW budget so thanks for your guidance!
Nice one Liam, really appreciate the kind words. Happy to help that’s what I’m trying to do anyway! Now just need to stick with it for the long run and keep being consistent! 👍👍👍👍
Kicking myself for not buying Tritax years ago when they were popping up all along the motorways. I can see you have your new electronic toy in the background. I’ll be opening one of those on Xmas day.
Seems so obvious doesn’t it looking back! Need to trust our instincts more! Ahh brill you’ll love it so much to customise in a big fan of the stock tickers too!
Nice Vin, REITS have been taking a battering recently but it could be a great time to get in as for long term investors, you have to be the contrarian! Good luck
So i understand the negatives of owning a Buy to Let (upkeep, finding new tennants, occasionally a tenant not paying), but if i took £15k and bought a cheap flat in the midlands or the north i can take 4500-5000gross in rent, minus £1k for income tax and £1500 for the mortgage and maybe a few hundred for insurances. So i’m netting 2-2.5k. Now if i take £15k and put it in a REIT i’m making 2-3% ie 300-500 a year? I’ve not done either so far, so i’m genuinely curious: why would i invest in REIT instead of a property?
Good question Chris I think there’s a couple of considerations really if you buy a property obviously your using debt as leverage so you’ll always look better off. A REIT won’t need a deposit, no credit checks, and helps get exposure to some areas like commercial property that you might not otherwise get. Lower barrier to entry too 👍. But overall you’re spot on in that comparison as long as you can put up with the stress is theory you’ll make more.
Having been a landlord for 10 years (only one house, my old one ) I can say the risk of doing it yourself and the stress should not be overlooked, None paying tenants trashing my house and agent stealing 8 months of rent ut a massive amount of stress on my finances and my health. I'd have been far better of just investing in stock market and that is what I'm going to do , I can live with the volativity of index funds by just keeping a decent amount of cash to ride out the downs. If was starting out now though obviously btl has more potential if you are prepared for the hassles and can get the money for starting ..
This is a great question. I think REITs and liquid and completely passive and a low barrier of entry. Physical property is definitely better for “Cash flow” and you can also borrow. But it’s very hands on and not liquid.
Britain isn't small matie - you ougt to try walking round it. LOL. Some interesting REITs you mentioned. A good one you might not have heard of is AEWU.
Do you have any decent videos on ISAs for reits? I'm personally struggling to make sense of ISAs. I've got an ISA with Vanguard which I have opened and paid into this financial year. As far as I can tell you can't get a reit through Vanguard, and it seems like you can only pay into one ISA in a financial year - so I think I might be completely stuck for investing in REITs. I THINK.
Hey Duncan. So a couple of points here mate, you would need another platform to buy REITS as Vangaurd directly don’t have them BUT if you buy a broad index fund you have lots of REITs inside it - for example the S&P 500 has loads of real estate trusts inside it already. So it really depends on how much weight you want to put into REITS and consider why that is? Just be careful with the income and try to keep it in a tax free account. If you want to try a different platform maybe try Trading 212?
You need to find a provider where you can buy anything. ISAs can be transferred to another provider, although there maybe fees involved. There are many great self-select ISAs out there. Personally, I only put a small percentage of my investments in managed funds the rest I do myself. It just doesn't make any sense to me to pay someone to do something you can learn to do yourself.
Aroundtown sa got a book value of 9.6€ and a stock price about 1.2€, if you got time like 2 3 years there will be a lot of profits for you.... thank me later
I couldn't invest in a curve that follows a up/down mountain peak that floats into a flat line that just ripples over years, it means if you're lucky you'll get a flash in the pan but you'd have to buy out at a specific time too. A gamble if there was one!
Hello quick question. In UK they have a 20% Tax on Reits (Unless in an ISA) So my question is if I buy USA Reits they have a 15% witholding tax Would it not be better to invest in USA for the person without the ISA save the 5%?
It's better to use a UK SIPP and buy US REITs as you don't suffer the WHT and the REIT dividends are before corp tax in the US. Personally I wouldn't touch UK REITs and the US ones are much better quality
I dont like reit's coz the share price never follow the nav, i mean real estate is cool becouse you have a proprety with a value but this value doesn't count in reits, the share are victim of all cons of the market but no pro
