Advice for BUY TO LET Wannabes

Experienced landlord and buy-to-let guru
Phil Spencer provides advice. Here are a
few "don'ts" from Phil for successful
property investment:
bulletDon't buy something just because
you like it.
bulletDon't rely solely on capital growth.
bulletDon't buy in a block stuffed full of other investors; tenants will have lots of choice and be able to negotiate lower rents.
bulletDon't forget to factor in the costs of management, maintenance and furniture.
bulletDon't think being a successful landlord is easy. Three major factors – area, property type and attractiveness to tenants – all need equal attention.
