Are you a landlord?

In several threads, I hear the usual suspects stating this board is swamped by landlords. I disagree, but happy to be proven wrong of course.

So...let's have a poll.

As always, be honest as to not undermine the scientific value of this poll. It's anonymous anyway, so no willy waving!

I polled 1-5 (I have 4.5), which doesn't include our home (not part of the portfolio), nor my wife's properties (3.5), other than the 50% of one that we jointly own.

My name is Generali and I am not a landlord.

**Dammit, wrong meeting**

We're not enough in number on this board to get a sample that is statistically significant but it will be enough to knock over any argument that 'you are all ......'.

Unless '.....' is Spurs fans. From my sample of 1 person I can confirm that I definitely support Tottenham. I like to think that this is an ethical board, devoid of Gooners.

I think the title might bias it, eg make it more likely the landlords will view the thread and non landlords wont

I am a landlord but I don't wave my willy regarding it. I make no more money from it than I would make had I sold the house and put the proceeds in the bank. I'm self employed and since I purchased my house with a self certified mortgage lending requirements have changed and I can now no longer re-mortgage, upsize or even downsize without a full affordability calculation which I would always fail which is the only reason I keep my house and rent the house I actually want to live in.

I am also neither a landlord nor a Gooners fan. Somewhat ironically, my tablet auto corrects Gooners to Boomers. I'm definitely a fan of them. Great team, if a little over the hill.

I'm not. Not surprising really, I'm a pauper

Oh that sort of landlord.
I thought you meant did i manage a pub.

I am not a landlord.

I dont care what my house is worth (at the moment)

I dont think there will be a massive crash, or even a correct or a minor crash - I expect stagnation

I'm not a landlord, and don't ever want to be one. I would sell my house for a lower price to a FTB couple rather than a BTLer. Nothing personal, I just don't see it as a particularly respectable or skillful way to earn a living.
