How to Build a £4 Million Property Portfolio

Lifetime Lessons of a Student Landlord

By Tony Bayliss

Investing in student property is highly lucrative. Rental yields of 10% or more are common and there is strong demand in most UK cities for quality student accommodation.

This brand new guide tells you everything you need to know about building a highly profitable portfolio of student properties.

The author, Tony Bayliss, is one of the UK's most successful student property investors. With over 20 years experience as a landlord, and having amassed a £4 million fortune investing in student buy to let, Tony has certainly "been there, done it and earned the T-shirt".

In How to Build a £4 Million Property Portfolio he reveals all his secrets - how he picks the best and most profitable student properties; how he markets his properties (ensuring they are rented out months in advance), and how he enjoys capital growth of 12% pa, year in year out.

The book's many anecdotes and fascinating real-life examples make it a real page turner. In fact, a lot of the wisdom the author imparts is enormously useful to anyone investing in buy to let, not just student landlords.
