Heya,
My partner and I are looking to get on the property ladder. We have been living rent free at his mum's house. I earn 30k and he is on 28k. With a deposit of 30k. We are looking to rent out a room or 2 in the property we do buy, and live between his mum's and the property we buy.
We are looking outside London, so on my income alone I am able to afford a property. I want to buy a property outside London alone as a buy to let and he do the same and stay living rent free. Where as he wants buy 1 big house and rent out some of the rooms.
Would it be better to go for one big property or 2 small ones?
Last bit my mum is 58 on 26k a year and has 20k savings. She has expressed interest in living with us in the future, would it be possible to add her to a morgage to boost the amount I can borrow or would her age set me back?

Most lenders will not offer you a buy to let mortgage if you do not already own a property.
If you are buying to let you cannot live there.
If you plan to buy to live there sometimes and rent rooms that is different again.
