2 of my btl's are on lifetime trackers! .19% above base rate. Keep the money rolling in.

Who cares about hpi when effectively i'm earning £500-£600 a month more than 3 months ago!

Great you managed to find a fixed rate :rotfl:

i said on 2 of mine. Not all of them. PS got better deal afterwards anyway!

i preferred to put myself into a position where i could pay for my children and still live comfortably. Are you arguing that everyone should have children and get married before they do anything else? Seems a bit of a stupid argument if you ask me.

I owe a lot more than that but thanks for letting me know.

Do you lot not have anything better to do! As for not seeing me on here for a while i do have a life! Have you lot been arguing about politics, btl slags, house price hpi, crashes, what we should and shouldn't do since i was last here?

Whatever happens me myself and i will always be ok.

There are peole who are more intelligent, more savvy, more street wise etc than you. Maybe you just havn't found out yet but we all have our own purpose in life don't we carolt.

You do come across as - how do I say this kindly - a bit of a prat? from your OP, though I recall your comments of old being a little less self-congratulatory and one-dimensional.

I suppose it's all about what you want from life, isn't it?

By the time I was your age, I'd paid for my wedding and had my first child.

You had your BTL's.

Know which I'd choose - but then we're all different, aren't we. Some put weddings first, some put BTL's first.

What a lovely world.

Carol - I'm sure that there are many people on here that have done just as much as the above and much more and actually gone on to run their BTL business. Does that make their world "lovelier"?

Four words.....woodwork, come out of. :rolleyes:
So you made a special effort to set up a thread telling everyone how much better you feel now your amateur BTL is not going to financially ruin you? Well done you. No, honestly. :rolleyes:

Yes perhaps but your two properties are losing about 6 times (probably more) that amount in value per month :rolleyes:

Not sure of your meaning here. My post was sincere.

It would be a very boring world if we were all the same.
My point was that I personally - contrary to the OP's fond imaginings - would not want to be in his shoes.

But then I daresay he would not want to be in mine.

Vive la difference!

Indeed there are.

Many, I'm sure.

Just as there people who are less grandiose, self-important and puffed up than you.

Just not many.

When I was 29 I had a girlfriend who was 19, inexperienced but in that 'experimental' phase.

I wouldn't swap those memories for all the BTls in the world!
