I'd always say both is best

@LiamR90 Месяц назад

I'm of the same opinion. Plus the general public (Mainly young leftys) hate landlords. There's too many cons to property. - CGT. - Stamp Duty. - Solicitor Fees. - Estate Agent Fees. - Properties can sit empty. - Require maintenance and repairs. - Evictions and bad tenants. - Lack of liquidity. - Forms part of your estate for IHT purposes, unlike pensions. - Insurance. - Can keep you in one location. Due to not wanting to be a long distance landlord. If I ever do it I'd do it through a limited company so my children can become the director one day. I'd just use the profits to fund a pension and pay for other benefits like pensions, life assurance, private medical insurance and even child private education.

I'm roughly 50/50 between financial and BTL net assets which works well for me. The BTL gives me a steady income so that I don't have to keep on drawing down from my equities. I use an agency (10% commission) to reduce the hassle of maintaining the properties. If you look after your properties well the costs are high (24% of gross rent n my case). The rental income has gone up faster than inflation but I do worry about interest rates and inflation coming down over the next 3 years.

@stevegeek Месяц назад

Thanks for the great video, Ramin! I ventured into buy-to-let early because it seemed like a popular way to make money. I didn't know anyone with a stockbroker or fully understand stocks back then. Now, with mobile apps simplifying stock investments, I've been tempted to diversify. It's nice to invest smaller amounts rather than wait for a property deal. Overall, I'm happy with my decision since owning properties and earning rent provide security. I agree with you-having real estate to rely on helps me worry less about equity fluctuations. While we tend to stick to what we know, it's good to step out of our comfort zones and learn, especially when we're young and have time to recover from mistakes.

Biggest drawback to the property market is that governments (especially here in Aus) are actively trying to reduce inflation in it to lessen the housing affordability crisis. So the past returns which we saw in the property market are very likely to continue. You can’t have houses 40x annual household income (it is already 15x), that just won’t happen. So unless wages miraculously start to inflate inline with property, there is no chance that property will appreciate at past levels. Buying quality companies at a good price is always the way to go.

The RoR paper volatility dif is illusory. Remember vol affects price return more than income; and property simply has a higher yield. You can get similar "fool's gold" like the fallacy of dividend investing. Related: equity isn't that swingy, you're just valuing every 15 mins / 1 second. Your property would look volatile too if you did that. Try looking only every quarter. Similar "fool's gold" with statement funds & private equity.

@aldoromano-be8su Месяц назад

This is so useful, I wonder what the correlation is between gold-property-stocks is? I personally have been put off property because of all of its pitfalls, and the leasehold stuff didn't help. But I feel if I were to invest in a small house as an investment, then it could be an interesting hedge.

@Banthah Месяц назад

Thanks for the video Ramin. There’s definitely a case for both equity and buy-to-let. If buy-to-let is your job then that’s fine, but if it’s a side hustle, like it is for me, then it is a very active way of making “passive” income. Dealing with tenants, updating decor etc, those Saturday night calls about the boiler. Stressful and hard work. The differences in return do not warrant this amount of effort. I’m currently selling my buy-to-let to invest in my pension and ISA, because I like sitting on my arse and not paying tax!

The main advantage of property investment: leverage The main advantage of stocks: liquidity If you have money, you should do both. Charlie Munger once said that his investment portfolio largely consists of stock market index and many apartments. In the medium to long term, this simple strategy will perform better than most 😊

@Kaizen917 Месяц назад

From my experience as someone that considered the possible idea for it, it seems that its mostly the people without the money or that never had to deal with a second or more properties that are super enthusiastic about investing in property to rent out. Especially among people that are renting and cant even save up for a 1st house deposit at first place as they tend to believe that landlors are living the dream with hassle free money raining on them. But spending more than 10 seconds going over the topic, it becomes apparent that its not the hassle free easy money that people think of (mainly for the reasons mentioned in the video). Overall, its not for everybody and one has to have something going for them either by knowing their way around the system or perhaps by being into decorating by trade in order to save themselves a lot of the building costs that will inevitably be needed (and then a question arises on how much we can view this as passive income).

@ChrisShawUK Месяц назад

I think you are spot on. The people who love property as an investment the most are those who don't have any investments at all.

@jacc88888 21 день назад

Yes, if you are expert at renovating and have time to spare then I think buying buy-to let property is an excellent idea. Investing is only as good if you have 30 or 40 years to invest to take advantage of compounding and or are on a high income and can afford to invest a lot of money each month.

@JohnSmith-gy8rc Месяц назад

The end of the easy money era means BTL is, if not dead, then still a very poor reward vs risk proposition. You ain't getting any significant capital growth, and yields are maybe 1-2% above borrowing costs, so the advantage of deploying a truckload of leverage that used to be property's ace in the hole is greatly blunted. Throw in unfavourable tax and regulation and its clear that the overlord are keen to dissuade property investors.

@Joe-fk3rf Месяц назад

Would investing into a property fund equate to a BTL but without the administration hassle?

Leverage is an important factor. I've made over 20% pa on my BTL over 25 years after factoring in tax if I sold. My initial investment was £5k including costs.

Thanks, this was really interesting and covered lots of aspects I'd never thought of. I've pitched totally with stack market which I now know suits the fact I'm not phased by it being intangible and it is less effort. The difference between buying to live and buying to let was something I'd not really considered and a second place to stay would be for the fun of it but very likely come with a cost ... as most fun things do.

I've always invested in property until I was 53. I then stopped renovating and development works. I now put all my spare money into globally index accumulation funds. ISA's first then SIPP, then JISA's. As and when mortgages come due, I will consider selling a house every 2-3 years to increase fund holdings in equities, which essentially mean easy access to money. If the markets are down, I will just put a mortgage on a property if I 'NEED' the money. Prob. a good time to put that mortgaged money into equities !!

Few more cons of BTL that were not mentioned 1. Taxation on Entry (Stamp Duty with Surcharge) and Taxation on Exit (Capital Gains Tax) 2. Endless Legislation (Such as Section 21 Removal, Renters Reform Bill) 3. Increased Costs eating into profits . (Interest rates , Repair Costs, Estate Agency fee etc) . With Section 24 , You are effectively taxed on Turnover and not on profits .With interest rates at the current levels, a typical Landlord with 1-2 properties will be lucky if he/she breaks even 4. General Anti Landlord sentiment by both political parties used for cheap political points scoring .

@Solihul886 Месяц назад

If you buy above average properties in above average areas you make great gains with a target tenant audience that gives you very little bother. In a good amount of circumstances you get what you pay for. The legislations aren't that bad if you have a good portfolio and management, and actually benefits you financially as more landlords get scared off meaning supply and demand gets worse.

@prasa1 Месяц назад

Section 21 Removal leaves landlords with no other option except going to courts for evicting problem tenants . I hope you are aware how over burdened the courts are . I used to own a rental property . Too much hassle for me . Sold off and invested proceeds in S&P 500 Core and Tech indexes under ISA tax wrappers . Not touching BTL again with a Bargepole

@Solihul886 Месяц назад

@@prasa1 I get that to an extent, but the need for s21 is completely subjective. S21 to remove lesser tenants, mostly goes down to poor screening. Selling the property, it's a long term asset. There are other measures to this, but the s21 won't be abolished at least until courts are able to deal with the backlog. I've never required the use of a section 21, again it mainly goes down to management and the type of portfolio you have. The disadvantages you mention by default translate to making more money due to the landlords who get scared out of the market creating a wider supply and demand market for those who remain, meaning higher rents for the ones who stay 25%+ ROI and very little bother with certain choice of rental portfolio over a 14% return stock is just a no brainer for my personal situation. But I like to do a bit of both.

Rents and House prices can only go up so much as people can afford. In Scotland, you already have rent controls. There is nothing stopping a future Labour government to introduce that to Rest of UK irrespective of costs incurred by landlords. Housing is an area where there can be a lot of govt intervention and I personally don’t like it

@Solihul886 Месяц назад

@@prasa1 you don't need everyone to be able to afford a low stock product, you only need the better prospects, you're always going to find someone who can afford realistically in this current market. Scotland is another example of rents skyrocketing because of landlords leaving the sector and ones who remain assessing risk by increasing aswell as tennants demand increasing which is causing further bidding wars. That's just confirming the point I'm making. It's all in the statistics, rent controls increase rents not stagnate them. Government knows this, but it makes them money to keep it this way. You're going to get risks and social issues with most investment or achievement, doesn't mean you quit because something isn't guaranteed. If that's the case, don't invest in anything at all since nothing is guaranteed to be rainbows and sunshine

I think the only addition for housing is how involved you would want to be if the property needed renovation that percentage could go up dramatically, if you ever watch homes under the hammer they are normally make around the 7% of the price of the property per year, but I've seen some that are 14%+ and when you think the person put in a 25% deposit and they are now gaining that much every two years from the property, which is just impossible with stocks in the long term the best investors in the stock market have ever have got close to that.

Personally I prefer to go all in with a global index fund and rent. You have diversification with real estate in there anyway, so you’ve all bases covered. Besides property is illiquid and many people don’t factor in maintenance costs, taxes and interest when running the numbers.

@DavidYoung81 Месяц назад

For property it depends on your country, where I live (Spain) there's a 7% sales tax when you buy a place (+ estate agent of 3% for the buyer). This means Global index fund very attractive - although there's no tax shelters here.

@mattlm64 Месяц назад

Owning your own home has comparable cashflows to buy-to-lets. When you have your own home, you do not have to pay rent, therefore you are making a saving which is comparable to the rent received if you were to let it out. Owning your own home has less headaches, less costs and is much more tax efficient. Though owning your own home is a balance between investment and consumption considerations and carries idiosyncratic risk by itself.

@Vikas-pv3ie Месяц назад

One thing which is in favour of property is that a low cost leverage is available. Whereas leverage for stocks would be high interest with usual high risk. Therefore if we compare property and stock with equal amounts of leverage built in, then property on paper may look like doing better. But bad tenants, maintenance costs may pull it down.

One could also benefit from the residential property market indirectly by owning the equity of home builders. This solves the cost of ownership and liquidity problems associated with direct ownership of a BTL, for example. There may also be ETFs that I don't know about. Furthermore, there is the commercial property market (rather than just residential).

As others have pointed out, the anti landlord rhetoric in the U.K. is very real. Increasing legislation and unfavourable tax position of btl also makes property a less worthwhile investment vehicle. I think if you are in the property industry (an estate agent, developer, mortgage broker, property manager etc), btl makes more sense. Otherwise it’s just too much hassle and too hands on.

@themusic6808 27 дней назад

If you take how an average home has appreciated in value over the past 25 years and subtract the cost of interest on the mortgage as well as all the costs of maintenance & property taxes it works out to roughly a 5-6% annual return on investment, which isn’t substantial considering that’s only a few basis points higher than inflation. I also figure the real return is lower when you consider how much money people actually spend on the upkeep of their homes plus the cost of renovating which doesn’t always increase the resale value as much as homeowners think (and they end up refinancing it to do so eating away at equity).

I've given this a lot of thought and I'm in both property and stocks. Stocks are better on most counts, especially with the recent tax changes to landlords. However this video neglects the fact that a 10% return in stocks is not a 10% return in property... Because of 4/1 leverage on property the return is far greater in property if you can be bothered with the hassle, poor tax treatment etc.. (buy property in a company name and you're better off)

Both leech off workers. But both can be turned to good. For equity, you'd re-learn stock picking.

For property, you'd do social renting: run a domestic violence shelter, a homeless shelter, land for GRT, etc. Ofc you could do neither and fund some cope to fool yourself into thinking you're a good person.

Stocks is an investment, BTL is running a business - stocks wont call you when your busy at work/evenings/weekends/holidays. They are always with you, and you can just pack up and leave - its in your pocket - no need to worry about changing legislation, elections etc. Did BTL and just not for me - I want my investments to reduce the stress in my life, not to increase it. And managing an agent is as bad if nor worse than a tenant, as its not their money and they dont really care, and at the end of the day - everything is landlords resoonsibility (courts etc). Plus - a lot easier to pass it on, when you go, do dont leave a massive headache to your loved ones (ie to remortgage within 6-12months etc) - everything a lot easier.
