Buy-to-let landlords - how much do you expect to earn on your investment?

A question to the BTL landlords out there. How much do you expect to earn on your investment in order to decide whether the time and hassle involved in BTL is worth it? Overall I am taking a long term view - i.e. I am focussed on obtaining capital growth over the next 20 years or so. But earnings do play a role and I am wondering what others consider an acceptable return (and how they calculate it). Thanks!:)

I'm earning 4% on one house that I became an accidental landlord on. This will be getting sold next spring, I don't want to let the tenants know just before Christmas as the are decent tenants but I've just made my mind up that I could use the money better else were.madeupname1 wrote: »A question to the BTL landlords out there.

On my other BTL I get around 9.5% and that's been held. Again, became an accidental landlord after doing my SL a favour and buying the fire damaged house next door to do up and sell with her OH so she didn't have to live next door to an eyesore. Though he pulled out at the last minute so I went it alone. Thankfully ended up with a small profit though doubt I could sell it if I wanted to.0 -
