Hi I am thinking about purchasing another property but I dont want to invest all of my money into it.
Is there a way to get a BTL without having to put down a 25%-40% deposit.
Thanks

Probably not, unless you can find a partner to pay the deposit and you fund your share with a mortgage.
You could try for an 80% LTV mortgage but you would be looking at 5.99% and £1,000 fees. Hardly likely to make the investment worthwhile.
It is worth pointing out that you are investing your money and your future money by taking a mortgage.
I smell a troll.

Could put down a 20% deposit, assuming you meet all the other criteria to get a BTL mortgage with a 20% depositI am a Mortgage Adviser

What are all the other landlords doing?
Do you have to put down a 25% deposit per property?
On average I would need £30k per flat then.0 -

Most Landlords won't be buying so won't need a deposit. Those that do buy will use their own money or equity from another property. If I was buying (and I am not), I'd use cash that is otherwise earning peanuts.
Looking at your other posts, I sense a troll.
