quote: Right say if you have a 5 bedroom house, you want to rent it out, who are you aiming at? plus the amount you'd be paying out would make people want to buy it off you rather than rent it. If you have a 2/3 bedroomed house, your aiming at a single mum with kids, students, a young family who can't get a mortgage, a divorcee who's just wanting something till they find their feet, a group of friends who want to live together and 'live it up'. It's more profitable doing the latter if you plan to maket a long term investment, but rather than have 1 property you'd be better of having as many as you can get providing you have the financial muscle to cope, because in simple terms, your paying 'anything' providing your tennants are paying up, if not.... well that's a seperate issue altogether and I've not got a tin opener for them Heinz Worms. :lol: | |

Some people dont want to buy why the market is how it is. Some people arent staying in the area for all that long so dont buy, etc. etc. etc. | |

quote: I don't understand this one. There is places around our way where rent is like £1200. If you can afford to pay rent at that rate, why not get a mortgage and actually have an investment. Dad says it's people here on business, with companies paying the rent etc. He's probably right, but still :lol: | |

If there's an investment opportunity and your guarenteed profit or atleast you know that your tennant will be paying the mortgage then go for it, if you wait around, opportunities exit. | |

Im doubting it will continue to fall for another 18months but it probably will do for the rest of this year. | |

Have you been looking at the figures for house prices recently? by December house prices will have fallen by 15% on the same time last year and the crash is going to carry on for at least another 18 months IMO. | |

The woman that is in my dad's business house isn't a student, and that is wrecked. | |

If it's a repo and ex-council then it's probably already a shithole, so students or benefit scum won't make too much of a difference to it. | |

I've been looking at terist houses as there are a few going cheap near me. I'm not to impressed with parking on a street though so could buy one to let off. | |

Good idea. Investment for the future. If the housing market is shit, you have free digs essentially, and if it's good, you can sell up and have lots of equity. | |
