BTL alternative?

And where do you expect yields of 12% from?

Dunno no, I'm no fund manager. Laterally I don't believe an annual yield of 12% is sustainable and only achievable in central London and the like where value does not equal quality.

My BTL has a year on year yield of just over 5% since more or less 2008. I would also add that the rental income for that property covers the mortgage more than twice over.

If I ever retire the income will be more than sufficient to support my National Geographic subscription.

I think I need some loo roll.

Would only be a landlord in cities I've once lived in myself.

Anyway it's a long-term game. If you want yields of 12% don't expect it from BTL.

I had some very bad experiences with BTL in Lancashire 20 years ago.

Also I wonder why this guy is going public? Is he trying to get suckers in? If its that good why not keep it quiet and pile in?

Something for all newbie USA BTL landlords to remember - don't make visits unannounced in late hours ...
