That is such an open question that I'm not going to touch it...
Well apart from -
1) BTL is higher risk, and therefore the fees involved are higher as well as the requirements (i.e. 25% deposit and higher % interest).
2) From a tax perspective you need to act carefully in arranging this to ensure you get the full tax deduction for mortgage interest.
3) If you read around the subject more and come back with specific questions about elements of this type of investment then it will probably be more worthwhile and you will receive targetted and relevant advice...I can take no responsibility for the use of any free comments given, any actions taken are the sole decision of the individual in question after consideration of my free comments.
