Hello I am looking to purchase a property for short term let’s (week to week). I know people who do this on a standard BTL mortgage. However, I suspect they are likely breaching their mortgage terms.

Hi! I have been listening to the Podcast for a year or so and finally picking up the courage to introduce myself. I'm Kyle, I’m 30 YO and I have just relocated from Glasgow to Leeds . I have been keen to attend the networking meet ups for a while, unfortunately they do not have any events in Scotland. However, they do have one in Leeds - has anyone been to an event and can share what to expect? For a long time, my partner and I have had ambitions of building a property portfolio. Having just sold our home in Glasgow which returned a nice profit, we purchased a flat in Lee
