Why Most Investors With £30,000 Get Stuck
£30K unlocks a £120K property — a decent 2-bed in Liverpool, Sheffield, or Nottingham. But you're still exposed to void periods, maintenance (avg £2,500/yr), and Section 24 tax relief restrictions.
£30,000 Over 60 Months
No mortgage. No tenants. No maintenance. Fully managed by specialist operators.
| Year | Projected Value | Total Gain | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | £33,742 | £3,742 | 12.5% |
| Year 2 | £37,951 | £7,951 | 26.5% |
| Year 3 | £42,685 | £12,685 | 42.3% |
| Year 4 | £48,010 | £18,010 | 60.0% |
| Year 5 | £53,999 | £23,999 | 80.0% |
