FREE tenancy agreement

Landlords & property investors, this is just a brief introduction to what the Income Monkey is all about.
I'm an investor, a landlord, a surveyor, a speculator. Above all I believe in the power of property investment to generate a long-term sustainable income & a growing capital asset. My blog aims to introduce landlords to some of the alternative non direct ways of investing in property.
The advantages of holding property investments indirectly by: buying shares in a prooerty company, investment trust, fund, ETF, unit trust is that an investor has no tenants, no maintenance, no management but all the potential upside of owning an income generating property asset. I know Property Hawk is aimed at UK buy-to-let property. I wont be quite so focused and will allow myself to stray into international property investment opportunities given that one of the advantages of indirect property investment is that these are are all accessible from the comfort of your own arm chair.
I hope my blog wont be a complete monologue. Feel free to tell me i'm wrong i've missed the point, or that i'm just down right confused. Off course I will never admit to being wrong, but at least it gives the readers a chance to make up their own mind!

will be interesting to see what you have to say for yourself over the forthcoming months !..... however I would refer to the old addage of "don't put all your eggs in one basket" - or in this case don't put all your investements in one asset class (or geographical area). As a direct BTL investor I make sure that my other investments are spread into non-property asset classes.
I agree that landlords and investors should have a spread of investments but commercial property shares offers some real opportunities for the adventurous investor as a result of the credit crunch. Watch out for a forthcoming post where I show landlords how they can buy commercial property shares at discounts of 30-40% to their underlying asset value on a net yield of over 10% with a gearing of 80% and only pay 8.25% interest on the loan.
