Where Hands-Off Investing Fits

Building a balanced portfolio around passive assets

The people who lose money in hands-off property usually lose it for the same reason: the promise of doing nothing persuaded them to check nothing. This final book shows where passive assets belong in a balanced portfolio. It gives you a six-question system for judging any hands-off opportunity and shows why a system beats a good feeling, with two assets run through the filter. You will see the professional team a passive investor needs, including what a regulated adviser can and cannot do. The funding chapter explains the borrowing that is often unavailable on passive assets, the two opposite mistakes of over-borrowing and leaving capital idle, and why tax-efficient wrappers matter. Further chapters cover overseeing the people you handed control to, tracking the whole portfolio, why yield is a warning light rather than a prize, position sizing and the particular fragilities of the student sector. It ends with a twelve-month plan to a balanced portfolio. This is the final book in the Purpose-Built Student Accommodation series.
