But seriously, which uber bull isn't a landlord or owner of an investment property?

But surely the two are somewhat related - if you think that the price of property is going to soar/ not fall etc and you can find a way to buy as an 'investment' then its a no-brainer? Either could come first though (the belief or the investment)...

You'd think so. But it's not the case.

We have a few on the forum with the means to invest, who don't. It seems, the vast majority of those serial believers of increased prices are those already invested.

This isn't a generalisation, not until it's disproven anyway. I can only name one who isn't a landlord, though is of sorts, and keeps telling us he has the cash to invest and it's the best investment, but won't invest.

On the other hand, I can think of a few homeowners who believe prices are too high. The difference being they see a property as just that, a home.

I don't actually think we have that many renters who want to buy. I.e. the FTB priced out.

Not much, he's held on to one property as an investment.

i don't own any properties, let alone an investment property, and i'm pretty sure that property is going to keep going up from here, in london at least.

the only reason i haven't got an investment property is that i really just cannot be bothered. whenever i feel like taking on a bit of risk i just print out a list of all the small cap oil stocks and throw a dart at it. it works very well from a risk perspective, because i always lose money.

I've been described on here as an 'uber bull'. I have no properties other than my home.

I've been described as a bull. Not really sure why as I have no BTL and never will.

It's probably because I don't think property values are going to crash. Although of course what I think or say on here makes no difference in the real world so who cares?

Would it be anything to do with the fact that both yourself and Renoman paid top buck for your properties?

I wouldn't class you as someone uber bullish on house prices. Just someone who wants rates to stay low for as long as possible as you have taken a gamble with your home.

My point has been made though. No one can put any uber bull forward who isn't using property as an investment vehicle.
