Debate House Prices
In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

The intelligent decision should depend on how cheap the individual property is.
If a bargain, then why not?
Define bargain.
Cheapness is not the only criteria though.
For me the intelligent decision is to invest in what you know and in line with your financial resources. I would neither have the time nor inclination to invest in BTL."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

If the property below, £2000 a month rental income, was available for 20k, and the only way for you to afford it was to take a BTL mortgage.
