4 - not having enough capital after the purchase
5 - often an eggs all in one basket approach
6 - buying off plan
7 - not researching enough
8 - not telling HMRC
9 - not realising CGT is payable on gains and income tax on rental and not budgeting for it.
10 - location. location. location.

They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
