I would say thats the easiest part. You can call up any decent mortgage broker and ask for a day 1 remortgage. You can usually get an 80% mortgage right away and the rates are the same as any other straightforward mortgage.
That’s interesting to know indeed! I’ve got a video about true cost of finance when investing in properties! Enjoy 😊 th-cam.com/channels/mzrsLDw_0DOzNvAlkgz5AQ.html
£7,000 refurb? Amazing value! I also like how Samuel is prepared to leave the design decisions to others, and of course lucky enough to have great people.
Hi , I have a building company with all the contacts and best discounts. I could not do that refurbishment myself for £7000. When I say myself I literally mean doing all the work myself, no other labour. I call b.s on that one. If he had done he would have put the full breakdown on the video. I.e. kitchen purchase price including appliances and fitting. Bathroom suit cost, Tiling cost, painting, internal and external. Carpets etc.. That figure he gave is pie in the sky mate
@@davidwhitton5519 That's not the only fishy thing in this video. The place he shows at 0:33 on right move is number 79 Lowson Street (which sold for £72,000 on 28 Sep 2018), and then he goes ahead and buys number 73. If you look online, number 73 Lowson Street was sold in 27 Feb 2019 for £63,000, and then was sold again 12 Jun 2020, for £68,000, so if he refinanced the place for 85-90k, he made a significant loss on this property. In fact he didn't even make money on the refurb...This video hasn't aged well.
@@danielt3497 I suspect he sold it to a holding company of his for asset protection. As for renovation costs, 2019 pre covid prices i think its dooable. That green carpet tho, what a disgusting colour lol
I live in one bed apartment for 900! But I don't think will live somewhere like this place! Yes London is polluted and crowded but this is where the money are! Otherwise will spend happily a few months in the Mediterranean second house with a small boat:)))
Great video, would be good to see the financials, like all the costs involved, solicitors fees, mortgage rate as well as what the property achieved at valuation after the refurb. I’m struggling to see a good rate of passive income after remortgaging at the market rate after refurb and paying the estate agents full management fees.
You made a margin of £12k - (Your valuation for resale £85k minus cost of sale £64k, minus £7k refurb minus assumed £2k mortgage fees solicitors fees etc. You can’t pull your deposit out to use again because you haven’t added enough value or made enough money! After your agent fees inc initial fee you are getting £5k a year? Your mortgage interest will be at least £3500 a year so you make £1500 a year profit from rental before maintenance. A good example of how to keep busy whilst not making any money.
He can pull out the 64K he put in, because he got a refinance acceptance which allows him to get a mortgage to buy the house in 20 to 25 years time typically, which if you do the numbers roughly at a interest rate of 2.5% and with 0 deposit (which he has said in other videos is the rate his mortgage broker gets him) would cost him £280 monthly repayment. £525 rent - £285 = +£245 passive income a month OR £2900 a year. Considering the property will, and already has from the refurb, appreiciate in market value over time (because that's the market trend in Darlington) its a "good example of how to keep busy" whilst getting RICH.
Jack Hirst Sadly this is not the case. Property prices in Darlington (as with much of U.K.) have FALLEN since this property was purchased. Darlington is in the top 20 per cent of UKs most deprived areas (source gov stats). This is not and has never been an area of significant capital growth... similar houses were selling for £60k to £80k 15 years ago! It’s all online look for yourself! Zoopla and market stats broadly show the house has fallen in value by around 8 per cent or £5k within the last year. So it hasn’t even kept up with inflation so compounding the capital loss. A property like that is a btl with 80 per cent loan to value maximum so on £75k value £60k mortgage with a rate of 3.5 per cent and an arrangement fee of 2 per cent or £995. I go back to the salient points - he hasn’t added enough value, the market prices have subsequently fallen, it’s an area of social deprivation and the rental income after mortgage is £2k a year before maintenance. Deals like this simply do not make any money.
@@c11yan Point taken on the capital loss, Ive been looking into Darlington for the last few days and you make some good points. However, I think he would still breakeven and get a little extra if he sold the house. Also, he is earning a passive income and he refinanced the property so, he can invest again, so I do think he has made a good deal, regardless if he only breakevens on the capital appreciation of the house. Not a bad deal.

Please note any landlords reading this. If you’re renting out a property, a fuse board like Sam’s in this video is not sufficient. You now have to have an electrical certificate to rent and that board wouldn’t have passed. Makes me laugh a bit, he goes on about the kitchen being done but a decent landlord would always focus on safety first and foremost. Gas and electricity can both kill you in your own home!
I agree, I have a small portfolio but still think BRRR is achievable but at a minimum you would need ECIR (for peace of mind), Electrical Safety Cert (12 months), Gas Safety Cert (12) months and potentially a housing license - selective or otherwise depending on the area. I don't live up north but I have heard things are a lot cheaper - so wonder if £7000 as a total refurb is achievable. If it is then kudos! But then you have SDLC and legals...no?
Circuit 1 & 4 had visible scorch damage. 😂😂 And the ‘test’ for the boiler is flawed. Most boiler have pre-heat mode. Some can be perfectly fine but take 5mins to heat up if the pre-hear mode has been turned off to save gas.

I know it'll vary somewhat depending on location and other variables but would be a useful benchmark. Can't wait to see you at the crash course this Friday!

You can't eyeball the fusebox and assess the electrical safety of the house. Landlords should take the time to properly assess the electrics with a registered electrician. You could be putting the tenants at risk.

Didn't view the property before he bought it then asked the letting agent what the area was like after it had all been done up. Pretty dodgy way to do things if you ask me.
He asked the letting agent after the refurb simply for the purpose of explaining everything on video, I'm sure he would have assessed the area before making any investment
@@krazykanos98 "Be brutally honest with me" he said. Sounds like he was asking for the purpose of the video. He hadn't even viewed the property so what makes you think he'd viewed the area?
Great video! Would love to see this as a brrr ‘series’ or maybe a new book! By my calculations (if you had bought the property on a mortgage) you could potentially do what you did here on a £64k property starting with £13-16k + refurb costs which would result in... - Approx £230-£250 net profit monthly recurring - Getting all your deposit and refurb costs back to reinvest as soon as works are done (with the right lender of course) - and Capital Growth! (Stamp duty, fees, legals etc not included!) Nice little strategy 👍
@@adym7201 Yes, I think he was a cash buyer for the £64k and refurb cost. Thereafter he is now in a position to refinance, as he has the leverage. He now wants to gather all that he has invested through a buy-to-let mortgage in order to follow the same process. It's a safe strategy as the bank can just sell the house if he defaults on his mortgage payments or interest payments. In the meantime, he is acquiring around over £3,5k per annum after management and other fees and the house is hopefully increasing in value. I think the hard part is getting the initial outlay to make the first purchase, once the funds are in place, he can then continue to use this strategy and own multiple properties and then perhaps sell them off in 5 years time when the market is at its best, but in the meantime, if he has say 4 properties, has a passive income pre-tax of around £14k per annum, around £1,166 per month.
Absolutely fantastic for someone who’s never dabbled into property before and doesn’t necessarily know what they’re looking for. Taught me a boat-load in under half an hour. Brilliant!
Hi mate, it would be great if you could provide some detailed info on the financials of these. From the deposit and purchase costs and the refinancing to give a good idea of the money side. Not sure what remortgage costs and penalties are and if you have any good advice or in the trade info around this aspect. Any further info would be great. 👍
Cmon bro its easy to figure out, will take you five mins!! He's told you what hes paid, the refurb cost, rental figure and resale. Stamp duty and legals are piss easy and EA fees don't vary that much as the cost is mainly a percentage...
Agreed, actual hard facts would be useful. Sure you can work out what it could be, or might be... But what were the figures for sure. Was it a 75 or 80% LTV refinance? At 4 or 5% interest. What did refinance costs amount etc etc. Because if you’re looking to rise and repeat your funds on deals like this all the little financial details matter to keep hold of your initial funds. Beside detailing the hard numbers it’s a good video Sam, thanks for taking the time to walk us through it bud 🙌
@@eztyson Where are you getting 4-5% interest rates from? My last purchase a year ago I got circa 2.7% within a Ltd company @ 75% LTV. My friends are getting even better deals @ 2.4% as mortgages with companies are becoming more popular due to tax reasons. If you've ever done a remortgage you will know the rough costs to refinance a property.
According to the land reg the price was actually £72000 so if you add stamp and fees total cost was £76000. Add renovations brings it to £83000. Refinancing at new value of say £95000 , 75%LTV means he would get back £71250, so he has about £11000 invested. On to the renting. Monthly rent is £525. From that deduct agent fee £58, contingency £44, repair £30, loan interest £131 equals passive income per month of £263. Which is an annual return of 28% on sum invested. Not bad! And don't forget, he might be sitting on a nice capital gain in 10 years or so as well.
@@markfitzy.86 purchased initially with his own cash then after refurbished and revaluation, freed up a large percentage of the equity with a mortgage.

Probably one of if not the best videos I’ve seen in a while so much detail has been put into this video and I’ve also gained a lot of knowledge from this, looking to see more videos like this and wish you the best of luck a long your way!
Yeah same I’m only 16 and I’ve always loved learning different way/strategies to get into property investment problem is I live in NZ and I know nothing about the market or anything like that.😅😅
Samuel. Wow. What you done to that house is amazing. I’d have moved away from my area to live their. Also you seem like an amazing Landlord. The kitchen and bath room are always the first thing I look at. Then it’s if the landlord is a good person. You’re a good geeza.
Really appreciate you taking the time to film this, educational and inspiring. Does it say in the video how much the deposit was for this place? £7k to refurbish? Edit* Did he put in the full £64k or a standard 20% deposit?
Great video detailing the process step by step. For folks doing this, note that with the tax changes, this only works being in a ltd company.. Otherwise the new mortgage on the higher amount wipes out the income.
Interesting video. Surprised to hear SLF blasting out of your car stereo - good taste, fella. Saw them live in Bristol back in 1987 - great gig, so much energy.
Loved this video, but it would really help out a lot if you could show all or most of the figures such as legal fee or the fees for refinancing etc, thank you.
Just read a few of the negative comments, sorry; "acerbic" comments! I don't know Samuel however, he comes across as a very enthusiastic and honest guy with a "can do" attitude! Irrespective of understanding of electrics and gas, as long as both are certified as safe, it doesn't matter if they are not bang up to date! The fact that someone has taken the time to do a "run through" on a start to finish renovation project which has covered the key financials should be taken as a positive and not a licence to "excessively / rudely" criticise......Merry Christmas everyone LOL
Thank you so much for this type of video! Buy, refurbish, rent is exactly what I want to get into, this was very insightful and informative of the process/procedure
His opinion on a "High Spec" certainly differs from mine... Buys property without seeing it before hand, doesn't mention legal pack, doesn't know the area and has to ask the estate agent about it, thinks he can just paint over wall paper, knows nothing about electrical safety, thinks you can renovate to a good spec in 2 weeks, his profit margins are a bit off too, I could carry on ...
Mate you are brilliant. Probably the most detailed yet short and simple property flipping video I have seen. Thanks for all the great advice. Wish you all the success to keep moving forward. Bless you. 😊👍🏻👌👏✌️
Great video, was encouraging to see someone say it's nothing to be scared of. Would like more videos on the refinancing process,, seems daunting. Cheers!
Brilliant video , thank you . Could you elaborate a bit more about the finances side of things please i.e what deposit, the cost of the refinancing and the profit you got back to start on another property? That would be really helpful thank you .
Fantastico, the energy & the passion is blatantly evident. My young son (Big Roc - 20 yrs) has been singing you praises, I have just been made redundant so Roc recently gave me your property investment book (buy low/rent high) making me promise I read it, yes I read it overnight and I must reiterate originally I was skeptical, however, the book has sown some seeds for me to re-view & re-analise my perception, therefore, I am doing my home-work (old school style - ha ha) and you young fella are very impressive, good job, well done & God Bless.
Just stumbled upon your video about BRRRR yours was the best one yet after watch five videos, personally even beat Bigger Pockets since you really went through the updates you did in the property!
I'm an electrician and a landlord . get an ECR done . you will need a new fuse box . from what I seen it has no rcd. I would never let a property with no rcd. rcds save lifes
Only got introduced to Samuel Leeds the other day and just from a couple of videos learnt a lot. He seems to teach all the most practical and real life advice! Thanks
brother could you please do one for a hmo rent to rent? would love you forever if you could, thanks again for great content and making the world a better place :)
That fuse board has not been upgraded in a long time, it does not comply with current regulations, I’d recommend a full electrical inspection condition report prior to any type of remedial/ refurbishments ( electrics arnt given enough appreciation )
have you seen what they've done? it's hardly a bargain for that kind of refurb, probably got paid to take that carpet off someone's hands it's fucking awful and that kitchen is a cheap contractors kitchen.
Mate, your videos are practical and provide lot of real world inside outs of property business. First video, first time, subscribed and would like to follow your path in couple years time. Cheers for sharing, Samuel.

As an electrician that house would never pass an Electrcial inspection and as a landlord you are responsible for making sure the electrical installation is in a satisfactory condition, for one not to invalid your insurance and for the safety of the tenants, furthermore every estate again I have worked with has required an electrical inspection for every rented accommodation. I would greatly consider ensuring that your properties all have a satisfactory EICR certificate, it needs to be treated the same as a boiler gas safety certificate. Hope this helps I'm trying to educate more people as many are un aware. Kind Regards.

Couple Questions: 1. How did you solve the damp wall issue by the front door/rough cost 2. If you're new to property and only own 1/2 properties surely it's better to manage yourself on the side of a full-time job?
If you buy a property from the agent then you give it to them to let and managed, the you go in next week to buy another property you're instantly at the top of the list when deals come in. You'll never have a passive income if you self manage.
Also, how do you get a 2.2% mortgage at 80LTV? Best I can get on a 75LTV is 4.59% as a new investor with Ltd company. That 2.4% difference would be an absolute game changer for me!
@@mcallister8893 carpet is dirt cheap bro. consumer prices are way inflated on this crap dude. If you know how to deal you can get all this crap cheap as hell
Hmm.. might be possible. Not a huge house. I'd estimate 9k overall. 1k carpets, 1.5k decorating, 4k kitchen, 2k bathroom, 1k fixtures and fittings, all inclusive of labour.
My application is for £90k, got the decision in principle but waiting on valuer to visit. Even if it’s downvalued a little I’ll still get money out as it’s an 80% LTV. Hope that helps. Will be sure to update down the line too!
@@SamuelLeeds if you do get that valuation looks like you will get your deposit and refurb fees out but not your purchase fees which could be around £5K including stamp, legals, valuation and mortgage/broker fees etc but still a good "little money left in deal"
I would sell it because it would take you 11 years to get your profit back as each month you get 500 and in 142 months you will have 71,000 the amount You totally spent of the house.
Very informative and down to earth video. I’m 21 not got enough money yet to invest in my first property but these videos really are inspiring to reach that goal.
The refinancing part is the bit I'd like to learn more about.
Agreed! You hear a lot about "refinancing", but rarely do they ever discuss it in depth.
I would say thats the easiest part. You can call up any decent mortgage broker and ask for a day 1 remortgage. You can usually get an 80% mortgage right away and the rates are the same as any other straightforward mortgage.

7k for all that refurb including entire house renovation and new kitchen and bathroom seems low to me.
You are my new property guru!!
I watched all the way through. Never been interested into property until recently and watching you makes me excited to get started on my journey!
Thank you very much!
Got here via Patricia...really useful ad I just bought my second house n looking to buy a 3rd..learning all d way

Looking to buy my first property to do up and resell -- these videos have been fantastic! I've gone from panicking to getting so excited!!
Didn't view the property before he bought it then asked the letting agent what the area was like after it had all been done up. Pretty dodgy way to do things if you ask me.
I think he works on numbers. If he loses big time he can at least do £10 work on it and sell it again for £10k more than he bought it
He asked the letting agent after the refurb simply for the purpose of explaining everything on video, I'm sure he would have assessed the area before making any investment
@@krazykanos98 "Be brutally honest with me" he said. Sounds like he was asking for the purpose of the video. He hadn't even viewed the property so what makes you think he'd viewed the area?
Darren Maguire For some reason I don’t like him.
Leo Mumford no. He gave. A rundown of property prices in that very street. He would have got what he paid if he was lucky
Great video! Would love to see this as a brrr ‘series’ or maybe a new book!
By my calculations (if you had bought the property on a mortgage) you could potentially do what you did here on a £64k property starting with £13-16k + refurb costs which would result in...
- Approx £230-£250 net profit monthly recurring
- Getting all your deposit and refurb costs back to reinvest as soon as works are done (with the right lender of course)
- and Capital Growth!
(Stamp duty, fees, legals etc not included!)
Nice little strategy 👍
You can’t buy with a mortgage and refinance onto a larger mortgage this quickly. You need to buy with cash or use bridging finance.
dmc Agreed mate, got a bit confused but your spot on
@@adym7201 Yes, I think he was a cash buyer for the £64k and refurb cost. Thereafter he is now in a position to refinance, as he has the leverage. He now wants to gather all that he has invested through a buy-to-let mortgage in order to follow the same process. It's a safe strategy as the bank can just sell the house if he defaults on his mortgage payments or interest payments. In the meantime, he is acquiring around over £3,5k per annum after management and other fees and the house is hopefully increasing in value. I think the hard part is getting the initial outlay to make the first purchase, once the funds are in place, he can then continue to use this strategy and own multiple properties and then perhaps sell them off in 5 years time when the market is at its best, but in the meantime, if he has say 4 properties, has a passive income pre-tax of around £14k per annum, around £1,166 per month.
Love these type of videos. Very inspiring and motivational. Thank you, Samuel, I appreciate your knowledge you share with all of us.
Absolutely fantastic for someone who’s never dabbled into property before and doesn’t necessarily know what they’re looking for. Taught me a boat-load in under half an hour. Brilliant!
Thomas Spence thank you! Please share with your contacts :) see you soon
Hi Samuel can I ask why this property says on zooplankton it’s hasn’t been sold since 28th September 2018 😃
Hi mate, it would be great if you could provide some detailed info on the financials of these. From the deposit and purchase costs and the refinancing to give a good idea of the money side. Not sure what remortgage costs and penalties are and if you have any good advice or in the trade info around this aspect. Any further info would be great. 👍
Cmon bro its easy to figure out, will take you five mins!! He's told you what hes paid, the refurb cost, rental figure and resale. Stamp duty and legals are piss easy and EA fees don't vary that much as the cost is mainly a percentage...
Agreed, actual hard facts would be useful.
Sure you can work out what it could be, or might be... But what were the figures for sure.
Was it a 75 or 80% LTV refinance? At 4 or 5% interest. What did refinance costs amount etc etc.
Because if you’re looking to rise and repeat your funds on deals like this all the little financial details matter to keep hold of your initial funds.
Beside detailing the hard numbers it’s a good video Sam, thanks for taking the time to walk us through it bud 🙌
@@eztyson Where are you getting 4-5% interest rates from? My last purchase a year ago I got circa 2.7% within a Ltd company @ 75% LTV. My friends are getting even better deals @ 2.4% as mortgages with companies are becoming more popular due to tax reasons. If you've ever done a remortgage you will know the rough costs to refinance a property.
Most of that 7k was the kitchen and bathroom because the carpet looks cheap and tacky
According to the land reg the price was actually £72000 so if you add stamp and fees total cost was £76000. Add renovations brings it to £83000. Refinancing at new value of say £95000 , 75%LTV means he would get back £71250, so he has about £11000 invested.
On to the renting. Monthly rent is £525. From that deduct agent fee £58, contingency £44, repair £30, loan interest £131 equals passive income per month of £263. Which is an annual return of 28% on sum invested. Not bad!
And don't forget, he might be sitting on a nice capital gain in 10 years or so as well.
Love this one. Had a good laugh at the wood flooring in the bathrooms. Totally what I'd be looking for.
Great video Samuel, would love to see more videos about the refinancing process 😄
definitely interested in the refinancing side of things as well
Same here. Isn't their penalties? Or was it a top up loan from the new value added
@@markfitzy.86 purchased initially with his own cash then after refurbished and revaluation, freed up a large percentage of the equity with a mortgage.
@@bainsk8 yeah but doesn't that increase your monthly payments?
@@bigdeano162000 Cheers. I need to look into this more. I'm sitting on a decent bit of equity and doing nothing with it. Thanks for reminding me 👍🏼
I love how Samuel didn't get upset with the property and lot of positive feedback from it 😂 thanks for the advise and all that it's been helpful sir
Watching this after watching Patricia's interview - super interesting
Blessing Marie me to !!
Ditto! Never heard of him before.

Stop exaggerating. 1 guy committed suicide because he took loans he couldn't afford.
You don't have to pay Samuel anything at all.
@@shaduwy show proof or evidence pls
your videos are getting better and better I really like the transparency and honesty of them
You have a new female sub from Patricia! Loved this video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Probably one of if not the best videos I’ve seen in a while so much detail has been put into this video and I’ve also gained a lot of knowledge from this, looking to see more videos like this and wish you the best of luck a long your way!
See you in London for the crash course
I’m 16 and really intrigued by property
Are you?
Sahib Chawla as a matter of fact.. yes Pancho
Yeah same I’m only 16 and I’ve always loved learning different way/strategies to get into property investment problem is I live in NZ and I know nothing about the market or anything like that.😅😅
@@togiasam8522 won't be able to do anything like this in NZ lol
@daniel hayes whys thats?? lol
Samuel. Wow. What you done to that house is amazing. I’d have moved away from my area to live their. Also you seem like an amazing Landlord. The kitchen and bath room are always the first thing I look at. Then it’s if the landlord is a good person. You’re a good geeza.
Great video. Awesome you completely detailed the whole process warts and all! By far the best way to learn. Definitely do more!
Samuel out here changing the game. I need to get my arse to one of your events asap.
Brilliant, this gives me so much more confidence to start investing in property
Please do more of these vids.. really good!!
Really appreciate you taking the time to film this, educational and inspiring.
Does it say in the video how much the deposit was for this place? £7k to refurbish?
Edit* Did he put in the full £64k or a standard 20% deposit?
I think he invested £64k of his own money and then paid £7k for the refurb. Total investment £71k
Great video detailing the process step by step. For folks doing this, note that with the tax changes, this only works being in a ltd company.. Otherwise the new mortgage on the higher amount wipes out the income.
I have zero interest in property but love watching these videos 🙈😂
Interesting video. Surprised to hear SLF blasting out of your car stereo - good taste, fella. Saw them live in Bristol back in 1987 - great gig, so much energy.
Loved this video, but it would really help out a lot if you could show all or most of the figures such as legal fee or the fees for refinancing etc, thank you.
It’s insane that you give all this information for free!! Keep it up Sam! Best of luck
Brilliant video! Could you go through the numbers how much of the £525 was being spent on mortgage repayments and management costs?
Just read a few of the negative comments, sorry; "acerbic" comments!
I don't know Samuel however, he comes across as a very enthusiastic and honest guy with a "can do" attitude! Irrespective of understanding of electrics and gas, as long as both are certified as safe, it doesn't matter if they are not bang up to date! The fact that someone has taken the time to do a "run through" on a start to finish renovation project which has covered the key financials should be taken as a positive and not a licence to "excessively / rudely" criticise......Merry Christmas everyone LOL
G S why?
G S I didn’t suggest or imply that it would be acceptable to leave an unsafe gas boiler in situ,, just because it wasn’t “bang up to date” !
Thank you so much for this type of video! Buy, refurbish, rent is exactly what I want to get into, this was very insightful and informative of the process/procedure
Awesome video, is there a minimum time from first buying a house to refinance it
The whole process can be down in about 4-6 months from the point of making an offer on a property. It just depends how quick you push things through
@@SamuelLeeds sorry samuel i meant when you take out a mortgage, is there a minimum time you need the mortgage for before you can refinance it
Samual do you have an email address or a contact number?
oh man.. can i have contact details of your contractors? i spent more than this on my bathroom only and they done shitter job 😭
@@drasticg you would need to buy cash and put a mortgage after the works are done 💪🏻
His opinion on a "High Spec" certainly differs from mine... Buys property without seeing it before hand, doesn't mention legal pack, doesn't know the area and has to ask the estate agent about it, thinks he can just paint over wall paper, knows nothing about electrical safety, thinks you can renovate to a good spec in 2 weeks, his profit margins are a bit off too, I could carry on ...
Mate you are brilliant. Probably the most detailed yet short and simple property flipping video I have seen. Thanks for all the great advice. Wish you all the success to keep moving forward. Bless you. 😊👍🏻👌👏✌️
Need one advice mate. On your video, how did you find the prices and the dates of the sold properties on the same street.
Maikel dealt with our tenancy through Bridgefords whilst I was living in Darlington. Super kind and professional individual.
I just subscribed! I hope you make more videos like this 🙏👍
Great video, was encouraging to see someone say it's nothing to be scared of. Would like more videos on the refinancing process,, seems daunting. Cheers!
Brilliant video , thank you .
Could you elaborate a bit more about the finances side of things please i.e what deposit, the cost of the refinancing and the profit you got back to start on another property?
That would be really helpful thank you .
I'm from the USA and thought you did a great job with the house except for the carpet color. But the BRRR method really pays off. Good job!
Get this done in 2 weeks...😂😂. He talks so much crap just to convince himself.......the wolf of property...
He will sell you a weeks course for £20k to tell you how to do it.....or not
Fantastico, the energy & the passion is blatantly evident. My young son (Big Roc - 20 yrs) has been singing you praises, I have just been made redundant so Roc recently gave me your property investment book (buy low/rent high) making me promise I read it, yes I read it overnight and I must reiterate originally I was skeptical, however, the book has sown some seeds for me to re-view & re-analise my perception, therefore, I am doing my home-work (old school style - ha ha) and you young fella are very impressive, good job, well done & God Bless.
Hey please can you tell me the name of the construction guys :)
Much love and respect for guys like this who dont want to be rich alone but share their knowledge
Great video. What I want to know is what were your payments on the original mortgage and what did they go up to when you refinanced? Many thanks
waiting for this answer as well. how much actual profit each month
Really love the refurbished kitchen and bathroom , really beautiful! Modern looks and cozier
I see you don’t know much about fuse boxes lol 😂
yeah that board needs changing and a test for sure
Doesn't know much about anything with the look of it
or boilers lol
Defo doesn't make a massive amount.
Really lovely refurb. Perfect finish.
Just stumbled upon your video about BRRRR yours was the best one yet after watch five videos, personally even beat Bigger Pockets since you really went through the updates you did in the property!
Best video I’ve watched yet! Really informative and a great insight
Great to see the beginning to end video, very informative. The fact you were singing to Stiff Little Fingers in the car made it for me!!
I'm an electrician and a landlord . get an ECR done . you will need a new fuse box . from what I seen it has no rcd. I would never let a property with no rcd.
rcds save lifes
@@steve11211 what are those?
Why have i not found your channel earlier. This is raw quality content. Well done sir please keep it up
Samuel you are an amazing person, so glad I got to meet you on the crash course and thanks for everything you do never change
Absolutely brilliant content! Would love to do your crash course. Keep doing great things.
This guy looks like the son of Heavy D from Storage Hunters
Yes or maybe Al murry pub land lord
Crash course is fantastic. Learnt so much. Strongly recommend anyone to do it. It is so fun too! 🥳
U could end school with the lowest grades possible and do this and become a millionaire

Only got introduced to Samuel Leeds the other day and just from a couple of videos learnt a lot. He seems to teach all the most practical and real life advice! Thanks
brother could you please do one for a hmo rent to rent? would love you forever if you could, thanks again for great content and making the world a better place :)
That fuse board has not been upgraded in a long time, it does not comply with current regulations, I’d recommend a full electrical inspection condition report prior to any type of remedial/ refurbishments ( electrics arnt given enough appreciation )
Hi Samuel, please could you explain how to get reasonable refurbishment quotes and explain how you did it for 7k on this property?
Thanks
have you seen what they've done? it's hardly a bargain for that kind of refurb, probably got paid to take that carpet off someone's hands it's fucking awful and that kitchen is a cheap contractors kitchen.
I think this will be a natural scale up to what I am doing, thanks Samuel I'll stay tuned. Subscribed
The job they’ve done is actually amazing! Well done
Mate, your videos are practical and provide lot of real world inside outs of property business. First video, first time, subscribed and would like to follow your path in couple years time. Cheers for sharing, Samuel.

Save your money. It's all a con........
The concept of buying and selling property at a profit isn't a con
Love it Samuel I am on my own brrrr tourney on my 4th property right now 👍
How long do you have to wait until you can re-finance your loan?
As an electrician that house would never pass an Electrcial inspection and as a landlord you are responsible for making sure the electrical installation is in a satisfactory condition, for one not to invalid your insurance and for the safety of the tenants, furthermore every estate again I have worked with has required an electrical inspection for every rented accommodation. I would greatly consider ensuring that your properties all have a satisfactory EICR certificate, it needs to be treated the same as a boiler gas safety certificate. Hope this helps I'm trying to educate more people as many are un aware. Kind Regards.

Couple Questions:
1. How did you solve the damp wall issue by the front door/rough cost
2. If you're new to property and only own 1/2 properties surely it's better to manage yourself on the side of a full-time job?
If you buy a property from the agent then you give it to them to let and managed, the you go in next week to buy another property you're instantly at the top of the list when deals come in.
You'll never have a passive income if you self manage.
I love the tip about giving a gift btw :D
Also, how do you get a 2.2% mortgage at 80LTV? Best I can get on a 75LTV is 4.59% as a new investor with Ltd company.
That 2.4% difference would be an absolute game changer for me!
Limited companies always higher I can get 2.99% all day off any btl provider
Are you going to the back room mortgage brokers in estate agents?
GREAT VIDEO! We were talking about this the other day.
7000 for a new kitchen new bathroom full decoration and carpets throughout I know it's cheaper up north but I smell bull crap
Sean Mcallister depends if you shop right you could easily spend £7000 on both
And full house decoration and carpets throughout I dnt think so especially getting in outside labour
@@mcallister8893 carpet is dirt cheap bro. consumer prices are way inflated on this crap dude. If you know how to deal you can get all this crap cheap as hell
Sean Mcallister super cheap fit out. Awful carpet, blinds. Basic paint job.
Hmm.. might be possible. Not a huge house. I'd estimate 9k overall. 1k carpets, 1.5k decorating, 4k kitchen, 2k bathroom, 1k fixtures and fittings, all inclusive of labour.
Great video.... crash course on the way !
This is such a risky strategy, and only for what, 100-200 pounds a month?
1. Cash Flow
2. Capital Growth
3. Mortgage Paydown
Thank you for these videos. I don't know where to start. You are true motivation Leeds.
What was the re-valuation figure Samuel?
My application is for £90k, got the decision in principle but waiting on valuer to visit. Even if it’s downvalued a little I’ll still get money out as it’s an 80% LTV. Hope that helps. Will be sure to update down the line too!
@@SamuelLeeds if you do get that valuation looks like you will get your deposit and refurb fees out but not your purchase fees which could be around £5K including stamp, legals, valuation and mortgage/broker fees etc but still a good "little money left in deal"
Definitely more of these videos, actual practical examples. perhaps you could look at your student's examples or alisdairs/russells too.
Hi Samuel how much did you remortgage for and what sort of profit are you looking at per month thanks
Thanks Samuel, I did not know how to do this strategy. Can’t wait for the crash course
I would sell it because it would take you 11 years to get your profit back as each month you get 500 and in 142 months you will have 71,000 the amount You totally spent of the house.
Lol you have no idea what you are talking about
The profit will always be there, the rent is an additional income till it comes to sell
If he did this same thing with 5 houses in his lifetime, imagine his retirement pot...
He's got dozens of houses plus a very good income from training and mentoring
Kitchen looks amazing!
Seed money for the average Joe? Money makes money. Refinancing is dead unless you have the initial seed.
This is actually fascinating! I had no idea you could actually take the money back out again via mortgage; without actually selling!
Glad you found it useful
Samuel Leeds thank you! Currently binge watching your castle series, it’s so interesting!
Samuel Leeds can you do this in other countries, like Ireland. Please
Yaw Aboagye yes you can
@@SamuelLeeds end 🇧🇪 ?
Very informative and down to earth video. I’m 21 not got enough money yet to invest in my first property but these videos really are inspiring to reach that goal.
