I'm sure that if you give some significant part of your income to a banker or pension provider every month he'll be able to provide himself with a pension.

Just tried and failed four times to meet the criteria to remortgage the property I just bought outright for BTL so I could build the second.
Penalised on
1) Time of ownership - Looks like you cannot buy a property outright and then try and remortgage it a month later - money laundering rules stop you. Got to wait a minimum of six months and then...
2) Even then one would not allow me to remortgage to build another property. The second didn't like contractors and a third didn't like contractors and also included your primary residence in it's affordability calculation of lending criteria which was 3.5 x Net Profit <= (Everything you owe on your primary mortgage, other mortgages and credit cards).
Nobody considered the rent versus mortgage interest on the property(like they used to).
And I can't even sign on!

Originally posted by mrdonuts View Posthow to build a pension of £25k a year when contracting is likely to have gone the way of the dodo in the next 18 months so need to build it with contractor earnings in this period
the stock market has been essentially flat for the last 12 years so is investing into a SIPP worthwhile?
do you instead try and start/fund a plan b
do you stash the cash and then try and move somewhere with a low cost of living upon retirement
get some BTL leverage and hope the arse doesnt fall out of the property market
whats the best option/mix or are there some options i have overlooked

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostSee, now that's a good return at 7%. So on my example, if you had a mortgage rate on your principal home of 1% then taking out the equity and buying another one for £105k would make sense. In fact, why not buy two at an LTV of 50% and take out a BTL mortgage at 5-6% for the other half.
Anyway that's my plan and that's why I've used my equity to go and buy some more BTL property.
Of course, if interest rates shoot up and there's a housing crash then I'm fecked. But that's the risk.
House price crashes are irrelevant if you ride them out. If interest rates go up, put up your rent.
