Typical. The posters without pots to piss in, full of good suggestions again.

I own a rental property as well as my residential home.

Whoa there, I'm doing it to save for my retirement I personally don't like pensions so this is an alternative.

Yes, but why should someone else's home be your retirement?
It's an alternative, but should it be - or at least such a popular one? Is it sustainable?

No one is stopping you from cash buying as an investment and rent out to supplement your retirement income. Can't compare BTL to pension, last time i checked there weren't such things as 80% leveraged pension pots.

Get a proper job. Save up. Buy yourself a house & stop whinging.

For the young that is impossible.

Enlighten me. Why is being young an exclusion to getting a job.

Clean cut, no tattooes, well educated, well spoken, willing is no barrier to getting a job at any age.

Try earning average wage and buying an average priced house. Getting together the deposit despite university loans.

Nobody gives you nothing in this life (well apart from immigrants and dole scum)

I have a (modest) house, but many of my friends and family rent.

Hard work cannot keep up with HPI. When did you last look down from your throne?

Those companies were built on people's hard work and money. Borrowing 10X your wealth so you can get much poorer people to pay off your debt is not quite the same. Hence my suggestion BTL investors should have to stump up the bulk of the cash.
