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!

i think that most of your posts are sincere Carol - don't agree with many but at least you are sincere.

you're a mother and that is the most important gift ever - BTL's or a business, etc... are secondary - i was trying to say that everything has it's place and for different people makes it more interesting.

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

the amount they go up and down is irrelevant as they are not for sale and i don't pay for them my tenants do.

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.

yes i did. there are so many on here ready to find fault with everyone. I was purely trying to show taht it can work and does has a place in a well balnaced portfolio of savings and investments. I have been doing it for over 5 years and have never had a misse dpayment, never had a void, never had any disputes, have never employed a letting agent, i'd say i was the opposite to amamteur but your entitled to your opinion.

I smell you were very worried not so long ago?

I am in a fortunate position of never having to worry about anything in my life so far......apart from maybe when i did loop the loop on the A1 at 70mph!!!

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!

Yikes!

Hope your wife doesn't read this.

Or is she now your wife?

The clue is in the name. Know many men called 'carol'? Or maybe you do?

What 'place' does your future wife know, or me?

Mystified.

No but i know a few called mel and kim!

surely as a woman you just know your place? Maybe im old fashioned?

I have 2 propertys! I live in 1 and rent the other out, Im not looking to buy any more, my second home is purely for my pension in many yrs to come. (Im 21) I have put property before starting a family but I suppose its down to choice of how you choose to live you life.

How many houses do you have DS1980, you dont seem very popular on this thread

that's because he's a BTL owner - they're not liked around these parts.
liked is an understatement too
