This is the typical behaviour of anyone involved in a pyramid scheme.
No doubt, BTL is a fairly safe and usually profitable investment. Seems that it does tend to attract quite a few people who seem to think that anyone who invests elsewhere is an idiot, or should be mocked. It also seems to attract plenty of rather greedy characters. Anyone who questions anything about BTL investment is wrong. Full stop.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older.

Any other investors round here winning massively thanks to these ongoing, ultra low rates?The last of my BTL 5.24% fixes just reverted to base plus 1% and the amount of money my portfolio is making now is frankly embarrassing. When rates eventually revert to 'normal' it look like I'll have paid off so much capital it won't really matter!
On a side note, I see that even on the fool forum the bears are being marginalised. And the most rec'd comment on the last Guardian property article was at their expense too!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

My BTL trackers are:
4 x 0.68% over boe base
0.5 (bought with wife) x 0.38% over boe base

It's typical elsewhere too.
I've just been added to at least 2 ignore lists (that I know of) on the share boards for asking a question about the viability of the funding now oil is under the lower threshold level.
Apparently I want to deramp the share to buy in cheaper. I'm already in.
No one has actually answered my question though....which I believe to be quite a prominent question really. I'd say theres only 5% of the posters there who will actually look at this stuff, the rest are just bouncing off walls telling everyone that tommorow we'll be up 20% and today is the new low. They say it nearly every damn day.0 -

The recent boom in the buy-to-let market
The one that housing bears said was absolutely impossible.
That one?
Oh, OK then, just so long as we're clear.

That's just amazing.
Thank you for demonstrating my point so clearly.
You can post anything you like. But if you question anything ,and don't write "will be up tommorow, buy in today as this price, it's the new low", the rest of your post is completely ignored and a cheap shot ensues.
I take it you were trying to demonstrate my point? As you did a darn good job.0 -

Geneer demonstrates he's won every point too ~ simply by stating that he has. It's a bear trait I guess.
