Fixed-rate loans are the most common type of home loan, but there’s no reason you can’t use one to fix up a property and rent it out. This is a good way to get your foot in the door of the property market, especially if you have poor credit or little deposit to start with.

The main advantage of a fix and rent loan over a standard mortgage is that there’s no need to worry about keeping up repayments while you’re waiting for tenants, as long as you’ve got enough equity in your home. You can simply enjoy your investment until it’s time to sell it. To make the most of your investment, read our guide on increasing rental yields.
