Rent to Rent (R2R)
RENT TO RENT (R2R) explained
The Rent to Rent (R2R) arrangement involves our company renting a property from the landlord on a long lease (typically 3-5 years) and subsequently subletting it to guests on a nightly rate basis (Service Accommodation) or on a room-by-room basis (HMO). The profit is derived from the difference between the rent paid to the landlord and the higher nightly rate or room-by-room income. As we have the freedom to make changes to the property, there is the potential to enhance its appeal to guests or tenants, thereby achieving a higher income than the rent paid to the landlord.
To fully grasp the Rent to Rent (R2R) property investment concept within our company, it is essential to weigh the pros and cons of the entire system.
PROS OF RENT 2 RENT - “OWN NOTHING, CONTROL EVERYTHING”
R2R property investment within our company requires significantly less capital, as the property is rented from the landlord at a lower rate than the market. Limited changes are necessary if the property selection is strategic, resulting in reduced monetary investment.
The investor's experience mirrors that of a landlord, offering valuable insights into property management, tenant interactions, marketing, maintenance problem-solving, builder and tradesmen communications, and efficient time management. Our company recommends finding a reliable and trustworthy sourcing and management company to make the investment hands-off.
Rent to Rent is accessible to anyone, even those with a poor credit history, as no credit checks are required.
The process is swift compared to property purchases. Our company can have 5-10 R2R properties up and running in the same timeframe as a purchase.
Substantial cash flow potential, with the ability to generate over £1,000 per month cash flow even with only one R2R property.
Possibility of obtaining a property for free - while R2R emphasises control without ownership, our company can still own an R2R. By negotiating an option to buy from the landlord at the end of the term, using profits to acquire the property is possible through a lease option agreement.
CONS OF RENT 2 RENT:
This arrangement is not conducive to long-term capital appreciation unless there is an option to buy in place. While you function as an investor playing the role of a landlord in this arrangement, it's essential to note that you do not have the same level of freedom as a traditional landlord. The limitations may restrict your ability to make decisions about the property without obtaining consent.
