    My house is rented out at the moment at £600 per month and according to Zoopla has made £7,000 capital gain....so in total I make that £14,000 in one year. Is that right?

    Subtract tax.

    I earned the same this year from my house, as I did last year........nothing.
    Stop dreaming, a profit is something you can put on the table, earnings are something you can put in your pocket.

    A rise in value doesn't buy anything. The gobsh!te about house prices equating to earnings in this thread is absurd..._

    What increasing house prices can do is lower your mortgage payments. For instance if you haave a 85% LTV mortgage and in two years when you remortgage prices are up 25% you will then be able to go onto 65% LTV deals which could mean going from 4% to 2% interest

    I think Zoopla is massively overstating mine, £21400 this year, doesn't seem likely.

    We're did you learn your maths, this is fantasy.
    Remortgage every two years and add up the arrangement fees.
    How does your foolproof system work if prices go down.
    What if interest rates go from 2% to 4%.

    And on top of that you still have to repay your debt, get some gorm.
    This sounds much the same as 2007 gobsh!te, in fact it is..._

    what sounds like what? All I said was if prices go down then clearly LTVs of existing mortages go up and higher LTV mortgages tend to be more expensive.
