Bueno Investments would like to invite all of our investors and clients to our first networking event of the year. It will be held at a central London location on Thursday the 6^th March at 7pm, details of which will be confirmed upon registration.

It will give us an opportunity to put names to faces and to talk everyone through our latest deals. As well as an opportunity for you to meet us and hear about our company a networking event is also a great way of meeting like minded investors to talk about the market and share strategies.

As well as our usual U.K based deals, we will be aiming to launch our New York State properties and an exclusive beachfront hotel site in Portugal. It really will be the fastest way of hearing about these deals and a great way of being first in line.

Not only would we like to introduce to our latest deals, we would also like to offer you a free glass of champagne, as a thank you for taking the time to come to the event.

We will also be around after to sit down with each investor to talk about all of our deals, but to also offer advice on where we feel you should or could be investing.

Barnsley Bargains

Our quest to find the right product for our investors took us to Barnsley. Our finder had told us about a new development nearly completed but still not being marketed. So we drove up to have a look at the site and meet the developer.

When we reached the site we were blown away, the quality of build was excellent and the location work well for the rental market. We took along our local lettings agent who was as excited as us. He said the flats would rent easily and he went through his rental assessments with us. With the rental details in hand it was obvious this was going to be a great deal for the investors and one we just had to have.

So after a few days of negotiation we secured the whole site at a great price for the investors. Our lettings agent was so impressed with the prices he took two himself! The first full week of marketing has been going extremely well. The two beds have sold out and the one beds are moving quickly with many investors shocked by the great deal we have provided.

Recently many investors have been nervous about new build developments as some discounts in the industry have been less than honest. We pride ourselves in realistic valuations and accurate discounts. In this case the development was only 18 flats this reduces the worry of flooding the market once the build is complete. This allows the investor to enjoy the new build markets positives such as reduced management issues, and highly desirable stock without the problems of capital depreciation, and lower rental yields seen in some large developments.

We have our finder searching out similar sites currently so keep your eyes on the website and news letter to avoid disappointment.

Here at Bueno Investments we try and offer the investor the best service we can, so when a deal for ten properties came up in Hartlepool we offered one of our investors the chance to come and view the properties with us.

So we took the 5 hour drive to Hartlepool with the investor (which was not as painful as it sounds, in this business you get used to the long drives pretty quickly) and met with the agent and owner, we gained access to all 10 properties made lists of any repairs that were needed, and spoke to the tenants about their future plans and how long they were looking to stay.

The streets in question had all been refaced and re-roofed by the local authority so all of the houses were in structurally good condition, although some needed internal work, something we negotiated on behalf of the investor with the owner.

We find that showing the investor the area especially if they are looking to buy a large number is a good way of not only educating the investor in the local market but also for us to learn exactly what the investor is looking for in there portfolio. Not everyone is worried about maximum yield some prefer capital growth areas and others aren’t happy with DSS tenants. Of course we discuss these issues on the phone but meeting face to face and showing the different options in person always helps with the process.

After the viewing the investor decided that he would like to make an offer on the ten houses. Unfortunately the offer wasn’t strong enough for the owner, but all was not lost, it was just the kind of portfolio one of our other investors was interested in and he decided to take the lot.

Although it was a long day for the investor and he bought no units it was time well spent, we learned what he needed for his portfolio and have now got finders looking for properties specifically for him. So he is getting a great service and we are regularly offering him opportunities suited to his needs, there is no such thing as a wasted meeting in this business!

If you are interested in an investor trip such as this please give us a call and when an appropriate site becomes available we will do our best to show you the area and find the best deal we can.
