THE WATCHER Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Sorry to go on guys but do you think they might now think of this site as a money making site for STR's. Me and a hell of a lot of people out there and on this site just want our first home for a home.But when T.V people try to brainwash us into thinking that being mortgaged upto the EYEBALLS is the norm.It just riles me up Well,Well £4,000 in 5 weeks now some good news at last. p.s been on this site now for something between 5-6 months and now its our time (Thank God)Common sense prevails.

Teddy Bear Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 The one thing they didn't mention on the program was that the site was set-up by a first time buyer (sorry to blown your cover Webmaster) who couldn't get on the property ladder. The fact that STR's discovered it (until this site it felt like you were a complete freak) is irrelevant. We're still vastly outnumbered by the BTL (its too late to start an STR'ing now) and the fact that many of us are using the opportunity to take time out to go travelling and even do voluntary work while away makes us the lesser of the two evils. Yes there is a certain amount of guilt about selling to people when you know its about to crash but I'm not forcing them to buy so my conscience is clear. The fact that large number FTB will be get the oppurtunity to get onto the ladder in the not too distant future at sensible prices will be good for everyone (expect BTL's).

Bullish Bear Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I consider this site to be used by astute investors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Pasty Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Glad to hear about that Teddy Bear. I did my travelling when I was younger and missed out on buying a house. You're going to have a fantstic time. When you come back, we'll all be buying together (at the bottom). Yippee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilf Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Yes there is a certain amount of guilt about selling to people when you know its about to crash I'm selling to somebody who's going to Rent it out. I must say I don't feel in the least bit guilty. Whats FTB's need to remember is that by doing what we are, we are helping that crash along and in the long run that will help them out.

They deserve what's coming to them the plonkers. Sadly for me the people who have bought mine are gullible FTB's who bought into the fools paradise created by such programs as L.L.L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
