I Told You So Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 TTRTR has nothing constructive left to say, all his arguments a can now be dismissed. Please make him REDUNDANT from this site he's clogging up the forum with his rants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Given Up Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 My other half says that if the stock market crashes, people invest in property. I don't agree so we have just pulled out of buying somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Immigrant Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 So you are saying that most BTL muppets who bought in the last 6 years or so are more stupid than monkeys? Agree. I bet you wish you'd BTLed 5 years ago. I know I do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tahoma Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I bet you wish you'd BTLed 5 years ago. I know I do. Are you kidding? I would be crapping myself right now, knowing that I hold a pseudo-productive asset with incredibly high transfer costs. Not to mention the fact that loads will be dumped on the market at once when the sh*t hits the fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Time to raise the rents. Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Maybe he does have a portfolio. And maybe hes profiting. But it really is irrelevant to the ongoing discussions on this forum. No one questions the validity of buying low, selling high. A monkey could understand the principle. That doesn't make now the time to buy. I don't need to hang out with back slapping bear buddies like you lot. I would much rather the stimulation of opposing views to mine. That's why I stick with you lot. Oh, and so I can tell you all how it IS possible to get out of the rat race, you just have to have a plan and apply it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would be crapping myself right now, knowing that I hold a pseudo-productive asset with incredibly high transfer costs. Not to mention the fact that loads will be dumped on the market at once when the sh*t hits the fan. Of course I'm not kidding. If I'd bought in the last year or two I might be worried but at 2001 prices, I'd be laughing even if prices do fall. They'd have too fall a helluva lot to get down to 2001 prices. They are just not going to fall that far. At 2001 prices the rental income would easily be covering my mortgage etc, so IR rises wouldn't be the end of the world. And if I bought at 2000 prices, well then I'd even be even happier. I really don't think anyone who BTLed in 2001 is panicking now. Recent buyers - maybe. 2001 buyers - no.

Even those who buy now with a big enough deposit and a 10 year fixed repayment mortgage will still get a house payed for by their tenants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
binkybonka Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Even those who buy now with a big enough deposit and a 10 year fixed repayment mortgage will still get a house payed for by their tenants. True, but remember that it will only ever be a boring, pseudo productive asset. And even if prices are double in 25 years time you still have the problems of voids, maintainence, management, spending the profits and finding things to fill your days when golf gets a little tedious.

BearLite Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 My other half says that if the stock market crashes, people invest in property. I don't agree so we have just pulled out of buying somewhere. Yeah, this is the new paradigm that we are in. Stock market crashing? Interest rates on the rise? Move to property as an investment? Nah!

geneer Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 and when did you become a moderator, to tell the rest of us what is and isnt relevant to this forum? Someone made me a moderator. Brilliant! And who are you to tell me what I can or can't say about what is or isn't relevant on this forum. My primary point is that TTRTR (or any other BTL) banging on about his returns on properties he bought some time ago is irrelevant. No one disputes returns will be better on a house you bought for £60K then rather than £180 now. The primary objective of this forum, I thought, is to furnish people with advise who would otherwise be thinking of buying now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why then is every post about gold, palladium, silver, unemployment, radio 4 etc etc. The advice furnished on here is biased. The clues in the name: www.housepricecrash.co.uk. You want alternative advice try RICS, Foxtons, The Halifax, Nationwide, The main stream media. I think you will find its not lacking.

My primary point is that TTRTR (or any other BTL) banging on about his returns on properties he bought some time ago is irrelevant. Then you should have made it better then, shouldnt you? Apart from the great kiwi parasite himself, no one on this forum thinks he is relevant (except of course his skirt-chasing alternative personalities who pop up every now and then to 'defend' him.

BuyingBear Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Does TTRTR realise that the property and mortgage backed market is simply part of the much larger financial markets? Wishing doom upon one will rebound quite sharply, especially if the markets are spooked by inflation and future rate rises... there is a flight to quality towards gilts and treasures, who will want to buy subprime MBS? BuyingBear is currently in sunny Brighton taking a break God, the advert posts really are fricking awful, Fubra really are taking the pi$$ now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
