The major issues for a player are the same as with buying a main residence: the effective management of the properties. There have been instances where players have bought properties that have been left empty for three months, meanwhile the player is still paying for utilities. Whilst this may not be considered “big money” if a player has three or four properties, it can still accumulate into an significant amount of expenditure being paid on an empty flat. The perception of property portfolios is that they are easy to build. The reality is that it is very difficult for a player to manage unless they have a team around them and good organisational skills. Players also need to think of tax implications on their income and should always inform their accountant as mistakes can lead to costly fines from HM Revenue & Customs.
