HOW IT WORKS

Model 1 in Dundee

Model 1 operators in Dundee target high-occupancy HMO properties in areas with strong rental demand. Rather than competing with local buy-to-let investors for standard properties, the model focuses on professionally managed multi-room units that deliver returns above the city's 7.2% average yield — without requiring you to own, manage, or even visit the property.
