James can talk you through the key sections. Or just read it at your own pace.

01 / Investor First

Property investing should start with the investor. Not the property.

Before we know what you should buy, we need to know what you are actually trying to achieve.

03 / Fit

The property has to fit you.

These are examples of opportunities we assess. None of them is automatically right for you.

05 / Real Return

The most important number isn't the yield.

Yield can look impressive while hiding what actually matters: how much cash went in, and what really comes back out.

APG cash-flow model

06 / Cash In → Cash Out

Count every pound.

Cash in

  • Deposit
  • Legal fees
  • Survey / valuation
  • Finance costs
  • Furniture

Cash out each month

  • Rent
  • Less mortgage
  • Management
  • Service charge
  • Insurance / maintenance

Real cash flow. Return on actual cash invested.

07 / Fundamentals

Start with today's fundamentals.

Future growth is a scenario, not a promise. The deal should first survive realistic assumptions today.

Rent-10%
Interest+2%
Valuation-10%
Service charge+20%

08 / What Next?

What could happen next?

01Future valueModel a valuation scenario
02RefinanceSubject to lender criteria
03Capital releasedWhat could come back out?
04Capital remainingWhat is still left in?

09 / Recycle

How many times can the same capital work?

The next step isn't choosing a property.

It is understanding your strategy.

11 / Location

Don't buy a postcode because you recognise it.

Buy the fundamentals.
