Investing Vs saving = only one winner for your money.
Of course there’s never a guarantee with any investment but we could also argue there is a guarantee with saving, at the current rate of inflation.
Saving at the current rate of inflation is 100% eating away at your money.

The easiest way to flip a house in the UK is to flip your own residential home.
If you buy a property to flip on an investment basis you usually have to put a minimum of 25% and get a bridging loan that can cost anything up to 1.2% per month.
By buying your own home to live in and renovate, you can put down a smaller deposit, renovate over a longer period of time and pay a lot less interest

For examples sake let’s say you have £100,000 in the bank.
Let’s say that the £100,000 is to be used to purchase 3 serviced accommodation properties each generating £700 net
This example is based on waiting 12 months
– Loss of income on 3 properties over a 12 month period = £25,200
– The Bank of England announced raising rates by 2% next year. 2% over 2 years because you will have to fix the mortgage = £9,000
– Inflation is at 11% = £11,000 loss
– Total: £45,200 loss
This means you will need to get higher than a 45% drop in property prices to make this worth waiting. Baring in mind it’s been predicted that there will be a 5% drop.
