Ten different ways to make good money in property investing in 2026 sounds simple until you try to run the numbers and realise how many investors get stuck using only one approach.
I’m Mark Fitzgerald, and I’m breaking down a full menu of property strategies so you can stop guessing, start choosing, and build a plan that fits your real life, not a highlight reel.
We start with buy-to-let and why the “vanilla” model has tightened as house prices and mortgage rates rise. From there, I explain how the same property can perform very differently depending on the rental strategy, including serviced accommodation (Airbnb and Booking.com) and working with social housing, supported living, and care providers. If you’re looking for a lower-capital entry point, we dig into rent-to-rent for HMOs and short-term lets, what costs you take on, and why margins matter more than hype.
If you like renovations and big chunks of profit, we talk flips, the risks of a stagnant market, and how assisted sales can let you profit from an uplift without buying the property outright. I also cover BRRR (buy, refurbish, refinance, rent) for building a portfolio, how HMO conversions can create value, and why checking Article 4 planning constraints is essential. Then we hit commercial property realities, the experience barrier with lenders, and how commercial-to-residential conversion can unlock value when planning and valuation line up.
Finally, we get honest about predictability versus upside with HMOs and serviced accommodation, including the tax and VAT traps that can wipe out what looks like strong cash flow.
