10 REASONS TO INVEST IN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES WITH MIDLAND REGIONAL INVESTMENTS

1. Investment gearing. Property is one of the very few investments for which you can borrow up to 85% of value. This means that with an 85% buy to let mortgage, if the property value increases by 10%, the value of the cash invested will increase by 66%.



2. Low entry cost. MRI property prices range from £60,000 to £95,000 With an 85% buy to let mortgage you could own your own investment property for as little as £9,000.



3. High rental yield. Gross rents on MRI properties average around 6% per annum. This will adequately cover the annual interest on a buy to let mortgage.



4. Proven investment success. Over the last 60 years residential property has increased in value an average of 9.8% each year. Since 1968 that figure has risen to 11.3% per annum.



5. Investment in an up and coming area. At the moment property prices in The Potteries are below the national average. However, this will change with the full effects of the M6 Toll road and other local road and infrastructure improvements.



6. Rental income for life. By purchasing a residential investment property on a repayment buy to let mortgage, when the mortgage is paid off the rent from the property will provide an income for life.



7. Strong local rental market. Well presented and maintained properties are easily let in the local residential market.



8. Investment in a strategic national location. Outside of London, The Potteries are located midway between the 2 largest population centres in the whole of the UK; Birmingham and Manchester.



9. Build a property portfolio for retirement. As the value of the property increases it will be possible to remortgage and release cash to put down as a deposit on another residential investment property. This process can be repeated many times over.



10. Fulfilling a social need. By providing rented accommodation for low income individuals and/or families.
