Add Value Before Purchase

In this week's show, Simon talks about a concept called "Add Value Before Purchase", and explains how it can not only save you money when it comes to buying a property, but also ensure that you get a better return on your investment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Adding value before you buy a property is done through identifying an opportunity and securing it with a purchase option. Cash-only deals signify that the property may be un-mortgageable for various reasons. This generally means that the property will be available at a discount, and is perfect for the 'Add Value Before Purchase' principle. Fixing a problem with a cash-only property allows you to then secure a mortgage on it, but at the new value, which will be higher. Most traditional mortgage lenders will not lend based on value, but on the purchase price, which may be lower. Look for specialist lenders who will look at the value of the property, rather than the purchase price. BEST MOMENTS 'You buy it based on the higher value rather than the purchase price' 'You can find and secure these deals below market value' 'You are forcing the appreciation of the property!'
