Located in a fast-growing area of Liverpool with strong rental demand, the property produces approximately £600 per month net income after mortgage payments, representing an annual return on capital of approximately 24%. If market growth continues, rental income is partially retained and value-adding improvements are carried out over time, the property may also generate sufficient additional equity to help fund a future investment property while retaining ownership of the original asset. This makes it a good example of how a relatively modest amount of starting capital can be used to begin building a long-term buy-to-let portfolio.
Results
- Total capital invested: Approx. £29,500
- Net monthly income: Approx. £600
- Net annual income: Approx. £7,200
- Annual return on capital invested: Approx. 24%
- In simple terms: A Liverpool buy-to-let purchased with less than £30,000 of starting capital that generates strong cashflow from day one while retaining significant long-term growth potential
