So you buy empty property just to keep it empty and get no return
This new fangled investing model is interesting
I think most people are missing a fact here.
The owner of an empty office is liable for business rates unless they find a tenant and so an empty business premise is not an investment its a milestone around your neck.
If there isn't a reserve the actual value of that building is probably 0 as it will cost you thousands a year until a tenant appears.

That's what I was alluding to- also you have to factor in security to stop the pikeys getting in and afaiaa insurers do not give void property insurance
Sooooo 250k from your bank account,no tenant on the horizon, overheads won't go away difficult to get change of use and knock down and turn into residential
Where is the upside?

Offsetable, tax relief and the opportunity to make a bundle in the future.
I was looking at a shop for sale down in Hampshire with a 13% yield. Of course won't go fo that, but then saying that the last one I saw(where I couldnt be bothered to go to the auction) was up for start £55k with a £7.5K a year rent with a long term tenant. It only went for £57k!
