To demonstrate this strategy, we’ll use £50,000 as the amount of starting capital. This £50,000 won’t be enough to buy a decent chunk of rental income, even with HMOs. Realistically then, the only way to get an immediate income is to look at trading in property (rather than investing in property): buying, refurbishing, and selling on at a higher price. “Trading”, “buy-to-sell” and “flipping” are all used pretty much synonymously to refer to this process.
