Will be interesting to see the RICS report tomorrow. Why not pop over to the thread below to see a sneak peak. Looks like that recovery is anything but locked in.

BTL is still a great long term investment, my family have alot of BTL and add a new property to the portfolio every 6 months, you just need a good down payment and make sure you buy in rentable areas e.g. type of people who rent cant afford cars so you need good public transport, they also might work in factories/shops so by buying close to these you can get these people long term.0
