I'm technically homeless, at a guess.
There are homeless people on the streets and under bridges.... but most homeless just don't have their own home and are on floors/sofas of friends/random people who take them in.
I see myself as "between homes" and I feel pretty homeless.... but I have a roof over my head and won't be thrown out... which is different for most homeless people
I just don't want to spend my house savings on paying ridiculously high rents.0 -
Quite right I reckon there's a lot of folk on here that are lazy BTL gits. This country sucks Napoleon said we were a nation of shopkeepers- 200 yrs down the line it's a nation of landlords(and serfs). 30yrs of right to buy got us into this mess, and after the first round of Friedmanite policies(selling utilities, privatisation, council house sales) we're in for the second- all out war on the public sector.

Will continue to rise sadly too, as rents are put up and up.0

Welcome to the new Victorian era.....
The bit in italics has no doubt helped get us into this position.
But why are BTL "lazy" "gits" IYO?
Haven't they just shown entrepreneurial spirit and taken risks in what they see as survival of the fittest.
No I am not a buy to BTL landlord."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
