What is an HMO?

Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) are properties that are rented out by people from more than one household on a room-by-room basis.

Because HMOs are rented by individual tenants, they're more than three times more profitable than standard buy-to-let properties.

And HMO landlords are able to avoid costly void periods, too - because when one tenant moves out, they still have the income from the other rooms coming in while they find a replacement.

However, although HMOs are more profitable, they're also more complex, too, with licensing, planning permission and huge amounts of legislation to comply with.

Why invest in HMOs?
