You’re here because…
- You have a listing open in one tab and a mortgage calculator in the other — and the rent looks like it covers the payment.
- Someone told you rentals "pay for themselves". Part of you believes it. Part of you is not sure what you are not being told.
- You have savings or equity you worked hard for, and you do not want to tie it to something you do not understand.
- You have questions nobody answers plainly: how much cash you really need, what the law makes you do, how to find a good tenant.
- And at 11 p.m. you wonder: "What if the rent stops, the boiler dies and the mortgage still goes out — all in the same month?"
This guide takes you from "should I?" to the first tenant moving in: an honest readiness check, the numbers with empty months and repairs included, financing in plain words, getting the home ready and safe, fair tenant screening, the rules and paperwork, and your first year — with a companion planner to do it step by step.
What it does for you
You have a listing open in one tab and a mortgage calculator in the other, and the rent seems to cover the payment. But nobody tells you what happens in an empty month, when the boiler fails, or what the law makes you do as a landlord — and you do not want to tie your savings to something you do not fully understand.
This guide takes you from "should I?" to the first tenant moving in. Start with an honest readiness check, then run the numbers the way listings do not: total cash to buy and set up, monthly cash flow with vacancy, repair and replacement reserves, and gross yield vs net yield vs cash-on-cash — all with the arithmetic shown. Then financing in plain words, a setup timeline, safety checks, insurance types, fair tenant screening with scripts, a landlord duties overview for the US, UK and Canada, a risk table and your first year. A companion planner (property check sheet, ready-to-rent checklist, first-year calendar) turns it into dated tasks. Educational only — not legal, tax, financial or investment advice; no return promises.
