Personally I wouldn't go there, far too much hassle and have heard many horror stories. Right now I'm looking at global equity funds which have sustainability embedded in their investment process, beware of the myriad 'greenwashed' funds out there, 3-5 year investment horizon at a minimum. There are also a few covid recovery funds popping but that's more of an opportunistic play.
Personal opinion, not investment advice.

Does anyone have any experience of buy to let as an investment. I know the ship has somewhat sailed for the high returns but that could be said for most things. I have the needed 25% deposit for a flat where I am or 25% deposit for two flats in a cheaper area where I don’t live. Pros and cons to both. Yield would be higher on two flats out of area but they would be out of area and two to deal with.
Or are there better things to be looking at right now?
