"Investment Only"?

Forgive my ignorance - I've seen a house on Rightmove which says "investment only" in the details. Please could someone explain?

    I agree with David. I saw a gem of a flat once with Investment only on it. It transpired that due to the construction of the property and some sort of asbestos problem, lenders wont give mortgages on it, so cash only purchase from INvestors eg buy to let landlords who can raise CASH and not mortgages to buy it

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
