Why Smart Investors Are Leaving Buy to Let for Supported Living
🏠 Why Smart Investors Are Leaving Buy to Let for Supported Living | Kamal Fared
Is traditional buy-to-let becoming less attractive for UK property investors?
In this episode of the Ohms Property Podcast, I sit down with Kamal Fared—property investor, developer, civil engineer, and entrepreneur—to discuss why more investors are exploring supported living, assisted accommodation, temporary accommodation, and social housing as alternatives to conventional buy-to-let investing.
Kamal shares how he built a portfolio of 160+ properties across Kent, London, and Essex, why he actively buys properties that most investors avoid, and how his engineering background has helped him create opportunities from structural problems, distressed assets, and complex developments.
We also discuss:
✅ Why supported living is growing rapidly in the UK
✅ How investors can secure long-term leases with providers
✅ The truth about guaranteed rent schemes
✅ Temporary accommodation vs traditional buy-to-let
✅ Social housing myths and realities
✅ How to identify good supported living providers
✅ Structural defects that scare off other investors
✅ Buying below market value through problem-solving
✅ The future of UK property investing
✅ Why lending and finance remain the biggest challenge for developers
Whether you're an experienced landlord, property developer, or just starting your investment journey, this episode offers valuable insights into one of the fastest-growing sectors in UK property.
