Costs to Consider with Buy to Let

I am interested in buying a property, with a view of Buy to Let, as a long term investment. Currently I am renting, but hope to buy or build in the very near future.

The house I am viewing has a mortgage of approx £400/Month and current rental income is £700/Month, with long term rental a on this house a viable option.
I would hope to invest in more buy to let houses if this was a success.
What costs/overheads do I need to factor in which may have an impact? ie mortgage, tax, insurance, rates, etc

    Maybe you should do some research then ask specific questions, rather than let others post up your business plan. You will no doubt need a residential mortgage and your own property before you will be able to get a buy to let mortgage on a second property.

    You are probably better off forgetting becoming a landlord and buy yourself a house first and build up savings.
