    BTL is no different to running any business.  Those that it get it badly wrong are generally ill-equipped and uninformed. There's no easy was way other than to perform your homework properly before venturing into property letting. . 
    BTL is very different to running other business where the businessperson can expect to get full tax relief on finance costs against profit. The very limited offsetting benefit of finance costs on BTL is what makes this let to buy route impractical for many HRT payers.
