INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Our Investment strategy
FFT Brave Property Investments offers property investment opportunities to Investors for short, medium and long term strategies. We are flexible and diverse in our approach to achieve the maximum returns for our investors.
There are many strategies to implement in property investing. I have listed some below however these are not exhaustive and the market is always developing with new ideas. The availability of multiple strategies helps manage risk and opportunity in a changing property market which provides constant opportunities not matter what.
Residential Buy to Let
This buy & hold strategy is the least innovative but most proven way to make long term cashflow and equity by buying common houses with good yields (cashflow) in local areas, that the majority of tenants would want to live in & can afford.
Buy to Sell
Buying, refurbing and selling property is known as trading and those who use this strategy are referred to as ‘traders’ rather than ‘investors’. If you are looking for bigger ‘lumps’ of cash in the short term, larger scale projects or you want the maximum return on time invested (when exchanging time for money) then flipping can fit your strategy & vision.
Commercial Buy to Let
Buying large commercial buildings & renting out office space to business professionals on FRI (full repairing and insuring) lease.
Rent to Rent
Also known as sub-letting or corporate letting. You rent an ‘HMO-able’ property from a Landlord on a single let basis, and then ‘HMO’ it yourself, renting out multiple rooms with a management agreement.
Commercial to Residential Conversions
With new relaxed planning laws, a specific niche opportunity has opened up. Commercial (B1) property (offices) are now much easier to covert into residential (C3) flats.
House of Multiple Occupancy
Instead of letting the property by the house or flat to one family tenant, you let out individual rooms to increase the income, cashflow & yield.
Real Estate Investment Trust
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income generating real estate. It’s possible for individual investors to earn dividends from real estate investments— without having to buy, manage, or finance any properties themselves.
Assisted Sale
An Assisted Sale (AS) is an extremely flexible property strategy and one of the best bits about this type of deal is that everyone can benefit. A deal is packaged up with the seller of a property and the profits are split with the investor.
Property Lease
Rather than buying a property and needing the big deposit, you take an option to purchase it. You take control of it through an option that excludes all other potential buyers, giving you the right but not the obligation to buy it, but you don’t ‘pay’ for it until you ‘complete,’ which could be many years down the line.
Delayed Completions/ Instalment Contracts
A variation on an option where you exchange on a property, thereby negating the risk of lost refurb costs. Once you exchange, you basically own it, but you can then ‘delay’ completion, or own in ‘instalments’ over a period of time, often many years.
Serviced Accommodation
Alternative to staying in hotels which provides more of a home experience on a nightly basis and where it provides a higher yield and return on investment. These are modern day fully furnished boutique’s and are becoming very fashionable for owners and guests for short and long term stays.
