Yields on buy to let seeing as its all about income

[jonny70]

As i was going off topic on another thread on pensions thought i would start a new one.

Am I correct in saying the yield is most important factor in a btl esp in a falling market than the pricing.

As house price growth looks to be very minimal and most will probably fall .seeing as we have too many threads about house prices i thought i would start one on yields of btl,.

Im knew to this and intend on buy a btl in the next 12 months hopefully im more interested in the income than capital growth (as it will be minimal at best )

does anyone have advice /tips experience on yields and income .


What are the likely costs of a BTL that will eat away the rent other than mortgage?

Is repayment /over payment the best ? ( I know Groak said it on another thread that repayment is the best and i tend to agree but want to hear anyone who disagrees)

I would be looking at the market of 40k properties that yields about £350 a month or a £60k properties that yields £500 a month witha 25-30% deposit. (anyone own anything similar give me a breakdown of approx costs they have and what profit they make on the rental,)



Thanks
