No this is not a 'I am rich' thread, I am very much in debt And the bank owns all my assets, I just carry the risk
Maybe my post wasnt entirely clear as I didnt qualify what the 2.5k saving was made up of and after reading the post I can see that it looks like i'm basing the entire 2.5k saving on just the BOE rate cuts, considering that this is what the topic of the thread is I can see where the confusion came from. The rate cut is not the entire make up of the saving, infact its a smaller part of it - but since some of you guys are so interested I will explain
Example on one property:
On a typical 200k buy to let interest only mortgage with 15% down I was paying £715 per month mortgage, with the two .25% interest rate cuts this has gone down to £657 per month. My tenants pay me £975 per month. I bank £318 per month (diff between mortgage and rental)
We currently have 12 properties in the portfolio of varying size and 'mortgage vs rental' equation. The above example repeated across the range is considering rental income AND interest rate drops giving me a pre tax yield of 2.5k
In fact I was actually not bragging at all, I was just happy that BOE cut rates
CJ - I bloody wish I had a 10 mill property! ...we can dream hey?
