Love Money journalist, Harvey Jones definately thinks so, giving prospective landlords seven valid reasons why they should avoid joining the landlord ranks.
I reflect on his arguments.
- Tenants from hell - " I've had plenty of those"
- There will be no future capital growth - " Probably correct in the medium term"
- Maintenance woes - " They do get you down"
- Lousy letting agents - " Some real stinkers out there"
- Pricey finance - " Yes, why is that lenders?"
- Red tape hell - " Gordon and his cronies scoring political brownie points "
- Easy street - " Cant argue that there are comparable returns out there "

It definately not for the faint hearted - but he is considering getting back into the UK market.
Maybe you can help him with his dilemma?

My personal thoughts are we are drifting towards financial armageddon in 2012.
Heh - ho!
