The first consideration needs to be property stock. First, you need to find out if there are suitable properties to-let. For example, if there are many properties available that can indicate how motivated a landlord will be and if there is an opportunity for you to help.

A BRRRR is when you're buying the property, refurbishing and refinancing. Some people like to include renting the property and recycling the cash, which is why there could be three, four or five Rs!
The BRRRR model is, buying the property, refurbishing the property, re-financing and then renting out the property. It's an extremely powerful model, for example, you could have a lump sum to buy one property, £50,000 - £70,000, typically you would be able to buy one property. Then you would need to save up to by the next one, but that takes a very long time.

This podcast episode is dedicated to the BRRR strategy. I specialise in Rent-to-Rent; however, I'm very strategic in how I spend the money I earn from my Rent-to-Rent properties. You need to be careful about how you spend your money. It's my personal belief that you should re-invest that money into assets. Once you have re-invested your money into assets, and those assets start to make money, then you can go ahead and spend the money as you wish.

I genuinely believe that there is a key factor to become wealthy and financially secure. You need to diversify, diversifying your income to not rely solely on working for money. You need to find ways to make your money work for you, making sure you are compounding your efforts and taking advantage of compounding interest.
