Cyclone Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It was me that said he takes a risk not AO. If it's such a sure fire return why don't you go and join in? In fact, why not show us the numbers about how much of a massive profit you'll make if you're letting at HB levels. I can't imagine it's going to be a very attractive investment to be honest. I think PFIs are completely different and unrelated to private housing lets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have no monopoly, people are free to create their own, there can be an infinite amount of threads. Well actually technically there can't because however many people post, you could always post one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It's still not a monopoly is it. Much like land ownership. A monopoly is something that is owned or controlled largely by a single person or organisation. There are millions of land owners in the UK, there is no monopoly.

green Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Land Value Tax has to happen soon or we will continue in this downward spiral of big businesses land owners corrupting rents/subsidies. Also, you cant hide land in a tax haven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The banks are the biggest land owners in the UK. Its why our housing and business bases are soo unnaturally high. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erebus Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Cyclone you can buy a house in auction for 30/35K and let it out in rooms getting 5-10K back a year, so according to you a crap return. I personally do not find that inspiring, but many do. Why on earth do you think the government are introducing a cap on rents, 26K a year, ...................answer its easy money, sucking the tit of the tax cow. One can rent any piece of crap for any amount, no checks on crap property anymore, just parasitic greedy people exploiting a simple system. Get real, get out a bit more!
