With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the Dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.

@@ericgrantl With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach. It appears that your investment advisor is highly skilled. Could you please let me know if you are still in contact with this advisor and, if so, how?

@@EdwinaLis Claire Robert’s Durand is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

@@ericgrantl I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.

"Overall, buyers hold a lot of the cards right now, and sellers are having to give out more concessions to close a deal." All the best, buying on sale is actually one of the best ways to invest in stocks, and advisors are ideally suited for such taskRead more

@@ericgrantl It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

@@EdwinaLis this sounds considerable! think you know any advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

@@DirkChristian-w2e There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Claire Robert’s Durand for about five aiyears now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

@@EdwinaLis She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.

Hey Marc, we can help you with that. Just book a call here: calendly.com/john-may-mashroom/30min?preview_source=et_card&month=2024-08

Exactly you can't The only way is to say you are selling ir moving family members or yourself in. This by the way would be mortgage fraud. Only a regulated mortgage permits family to occupy. If you have normal tenants then you may have a normal BTL mortgage. So you can't move in as that would be mortgage fraud which would mean that the lender could call in the loan. This is something the dopey Civil Servants haven't worked out yet. So a revised S8 will be of no use Only by increasing rents so that tenants can't afford them will S8 be able to be used for rent defaulting Even then there will be issues using rent defaulting as a reason to evict. With the eventual introduction of a revised S8 it will be a nightmare to evict tenants. Better to sell up!

Are you twelve?

Yep the dead hand of Socialism set to destroy the UK economy

in my case, upon hearing Labour had won the election. i have had 74 years of the labour party, I am totally underwhelmed with their performances.

@@coastalsandwich there are way more bad tenants than Landlords. Have you thought what happens to the tenants from hell when they finally get evicted? They have to be housed somewhere so they just probably move on to some other poor landlord and do the same again. If anything we need a national Tenants Register.

Unfortunately there will never be any Tenant Register. Govt cannot permit wrongun tenants to be readily identified. Govt need to ensure that LL take on the wronguns. That results in Councils not having to bother with the wronguns for at least 2 years as that is how long it will take to evict. So no Tenant Register will ever occur even though it would be great for good tenants and LL alike.

@alanfizzypop9607 Where will you go for your house when there are no landlords. Council will be busy dishing out properties to the people arriving in the boats

So enlighten us all what part of accommodation provision is in any way thieving!?

Yep all the boat people will be considered to be in greater housing need. So all those 1.5 million Council house that Labour proposes to build will be given to the illegal immigrants.

And free up homes and reduce the price of buying when they all sell up in your dreams

Why sell up when they can fill the property with freeloading gimmegrants for twice the rent courtesy of the tax payers and make locals homeless.

In your dreams! With mass immigration there are plenty of cash rich buyers most of them from HK. Anyone believing they can snap up BMV firmer letting property are deluding themselves.

​@@alanfizzypop9607 In your dreams will never happen

Most landlords are good. The trouble is you only ever hear about the bad ones!

Absolute twaddle you spout. You clearly have no idea of the implications of the RRB and EPC regulations.

Ha ha ha ha ha.you have no idea! But you will soon, once they get started, you will choke on your own words.

lol. to be as delusional as you must be nice

We didn't invest in property only for the tax relief on mortgage interest to change either... I can't think of any other business where you pay tax on turnover and not profit?

@@KayJohnsonArt That's because they want us all to set up as Limited Companies. It's just another way of monitoring you and to stop people, tenants and landlords, setting up private cash deals.

@@johnmore4155You wish. They hate at sight all landlords and everyone who works hard to get up the economic ladder

spoken as a true landlord

@@ganumaster6464 Depends how you climb that ladder.

Oh stop it. You’re talking utter bollocks.

Go for it then, there's literally nothing stopping you!

@BlackCrypt Then why are they means testing everything, now they're talking about means testing pension.

@@ganumaster6464 About time to why should rich people live in council houses on the cheap

​@@alanfizzypop9607 why should gimmegrants take president over locals and get get housing and everything else for FREE!!!

And I can't wait!

All 5 minor parties made representations about proportionate (sic) representation in their manifestos. Reform proposed a referendum on the subject, so perhaps weren't as committed as others.

@@kristenfarebrother6744 It is almost like people don't understand supply and demand... welcome to life on the streets former renters.

@@neddythened2698 Putting that economics degree to good use, I see

We will all reap what Labour party voters have sown. That's the problem!

@user-hs5pr5bt1v The tenant didn't victimise anyone. He had a legitimate complaint. It was the council who took him to court. How do you know the tenant can move? Many are trapped in their rental properties because the available properties have gone through the floor. 80% down in my area from before the pandemic. Rents on those that are left spiralling. This property - likely low-rent because of the condition - might be all this tenant could afford.

@user-hs5pr5bt1v Wow.. why doesn't Mashroom highlight this fact? What a disgrace for tenants to do this. They should have moved out.

Turkey voting for xmas - again. Don't understand why you would vote for Farage again who contributed heavily to UK's present situation, by pushing the Brexit agenda. Why vote for a self serving pro Putin grifter, who has no interest in improving your life? And net zero isn't just about reducing our carbon foot print, but also adapting to the coming climate changes.

And what if renters can’t afford to buy? Deposits required are huge, mortgage rates are crazy. If I want to sell, it’s far more likely someone looking to invest in a rental will buy it than a renter looking for a residential home.

@@andersalistair if someone is buying to rent it out, then renters haven't lost a property in the market have they? see the stupid logic of the argument. the house doesn't dissappear. if landlords sell, someone buys it to live in it or rent it out. so supply either way is same. and rental market is unaffected.

​@@zenastronomy, if you have no knowledge of the industry, yes it's a stupid logic but the world doesn't work like that. When you buy a new house, your cost is higher, so you are going to ask for more rent. There will be a vacant period during the process, which will cause problems in the housing market. Also people are buying houses as a long term investment betting on prices going up and not renting them. Vacant house numbers are rising, and rentable house numbers are falling.

@@andersalistair vacant houses is a vacant house issue. and nothing to do with this. it is easily remedied with a tax on empty properties. and also buy to let landlords leaving the market has no bearing on rent. As rent goes up irrespective of who the owner is sooner or later. and sales have dropped by 40%. so according to your logic that means it's actually better for rent. As rent will be lower with lower turnover rate in house ownership.

​@@zenastronomy They are selling up, buyers don't rent their houses, and vacant houses are not an issue. If this is your logic, nothing will affect the housing market :) I have two identical flats in the same building. One of them is 1500, the other is 1650 because the mortgage cost is higher on the one I bought later, and you are saying it's irrespective. You have some good ideas, keep up :)
