Hello All,
I am in a position to add to my small portfolio of buy to let properties..Can anyone give me a bit of guidance.. Dont get me wrong...im small time but for once in my life im doing something I love - buy a house in need of renovation and do the work myself and let out the rooms. If you get the impression im coasting - im not!. But i do love this work & wake in the morning wth a spring in my step for a change. I have done the day to day slog of production line work for donkeys years just to keep the wolf from the door so now im happy at my work.
Im wondering if I can open a company and have my potential properties in the company. This would limit my liability yes? and also give me peace of mind that my personal assets would not be required as security? What would the tax implications be? My plan would be to buy properties that need work and carry out this work myself (outside of the qualified tradespersons I need) over 3-4 month. Then rent out the rooms etc and do the same again. Im an only son from a farming backround and dont want my home place etc used as security. I have great faith in my abilities but its the pease of mind of not having the farm at home etc used as security for my possible future ventures.
I have completed 2 houses of my own & 8 in total (6 for other people) so i know the ins & outs of the work involved. What ide like to gather is anything that you guys might think of or contribute.
Thanks
