Staffordshire Property Ladder - November meeting

Making Money from Difficult Properties – and How to Use Joint Ventures to Do It
Overview:
Jim lifts the lid on how he’s built a portfolio by tackling the properties others avoid — houses with awkward layouts, planning complications, or licensing headaches — and turned them into profitable HMOs and multi-lets.
He’ll share how to spot opportunity where others see problems, add value creatively, and structure Joint Ventures (JVs) so that lack of cash, time or experience doesn’t hold you back from doing bigger deals.
Key Takeaways:
How to identify the real value hidden in difficult or problem properties.
How to assess whether an issue is legal, structural, or just perception — and how to price it right.
Jim’s checklist for turning a “no go” deal into a winner.
How to find and structure Joint Venture partnerships that work for both sides.
What to watch out for legally and financially when doing JVs.
Examples from Jim’s own portfolio where a JV unlocked projects he couldn’t (or wouldn’t) do alone.
Perfect for:
Investors who’ve already got one or two properties and want to scale faster by working with others — especially when capital or confidence is limited.
