Been watching this...its tulip.

You might think it's tulip, but what about the asian family who bought 2 council flats for 50p each, had the council renovate them and then are sitting on £160,000?

Or the school teacher who now owns 700 BTL houses worth over £160,000,000

Better than contracting!!!

Heh, "owns". By their own admission their rental yields were low, and they are relying purely on capital gains. It's nothing but paper money.

Oh, and isn't the Eurostar station in Ashford closing?

Yeah, but many of the houses were bought years ago for £100s, now they're worth £100,000s. Maybe paper, but it's still bigger piles of it!.
