2 questions arising from the thread so far:
(1) if I bought a small place now, would that give me more leverage later once I'd got together a second down-payment in a few years?
(2) Could I mitigate the risk of buying somewhere (theoretically, not considering where I would actually live) if I rented it out and used the rent to pay off the mortgage on a flexible 'account-style' mortgage? I remember Virgin offered a type of mortgage you could pay into and take out of. During good times, the high rent could pay off a lot of the mortgage, during bad times, poor renting market etc, I could just pay off the interest or even dip into the mortgage.Comment

2. Well if you buy somewhere to let out then you need a BTL mortgage and those don't tend to be of the offset type. The Virgin product you're thinking of was a flavour of offset. If you buy a property and don't live in it then you've got to lay out your own rent as well as pay the mortgage, even though you will get rent in you will have to balance the budget.Last edited by TykeMerc; 27 June 2015, 20:07.Comment
