• You only need ONE house to live in, making a living from renting out a house with a paid off mortgage if you already have a house should be taxed way more imho.

    Same for these property magnated that buy more and more houses as they have assets to loan against, pricing others out and increasing rents because whatchagonna do, private property rules.

  • I think we should look to France and their rules around only permitting one mortgage per person. I.e you can't buy another place unless you've paid off the first one or buy in cash

  • They have a scheme as well where you get government cash to do up properties BUT you must charge social housing rent afterwards. Pretty cool.

    But you still have the "second houses" problem with people buying holiday homes and pricing out locals...
