Income-led UK real estate
Two strategies, one discipline — co-living residential for young professionals and prime city-centre leisure — income-led and prudently leveraged across UK cities outside London.
Part One · UK Residential
Co-living for young professionals
- Acquire tenanted HMOs at a discount to existing-use value, with in-place income.
- Target UK cities outside London — Yeovil, Halifax, Cardiff, Grimsby — and around major public infrastructure.
- Cosmetic upgrades to the MARS Living standard: low capex, high ROI.
- Rental growth of 5–15% p.a. observed in target locations; occupancy around 98%.
- Tenants on 12-month AST contracts — a durable income stream.
Target net equity yield>15%

Leverage65–75%
