    About £30 and you'll be worth millions before you know it.

    Great scheme but I have some Egyptian lottery tickets that will give you more. Just send me the cash and I'll let you know when you win:beer:

  • He purchased the house next door for £200k in 2015. Landlord has owned this house before 2015, but his houses on the street aren’t showing on Rightmove.

    Apart from putting in a new bathroom and kitchen extension, nothing has been modified. So an extra £50k?

    Not sure what there isn’t to believe?

    Old live in landlord was getting £1700k a month in rent for a £280k house. She could have rented an extra room as she had the space.

    As people have already asked, what constitutes a "living"?

    Your previous threads have asked about investing 40k

    Are these your only funds? if so you wont be able to retire to be a fulltime landlord yet.

    Of course this is notwithstanding your apparent complete lack of understanding of taxes etc and unwillingness to do any research...
