More people need to learn that renting and having a crushing mortgage are just two of many options. We need to spread the word about non-traditional property investment strategies like the buy to let mortgage and other lease options.
(PRWEB) September 19, 2013
During a recent interview, property investment mentor, Rick Otton, revealed that a report on the attitude of young people in the UK towards renting and buying property shows that many of them are avoiding the first step of the so-called “property ladder” entirely, and this is exactly why people need to learn about progressive property strategies.
A shift in property goals is clear in the report, with just three out of ten British young people under 35 working towards home ownership, compared to nine out of ten British people aged between 55 and 75.
Choosing uncertainty over a lifetime of debt
In 2011 to 2012, privately rented households in England were at 3.8 million, a 58 percent increase from 2005. Rent costs the average tenant 40 per cent of their income, and some two-thirds of renters have no safety net to cover their housing costs.
“Half of British adults under 35 years old live in a home that they don’t own, which to me says that half of young British adults have looked at the traditional bleak savings regime to get the traditional big deposit to sign up for the traditional lifetime mortgage, and they’ve said, “that’s not for me”. And fair enough, too,” said Mr Otton.
“But the answer doesn’t have to be staying in the rental market forever, with the insecurity that comes with that. There are other ways to move towards financial freedom. And I’ve made it my mission in life to teach people how to make the property ladder work for them,” added Mr Otton.
Not enough options
“Eight out of ten young people who rent haven’t been encouraged to sign up to the traditional property ladder by the government’s Help to Buy Scheme. To me, that shows that the initial premise is flawed. People don’t want a traditional bank loan, so a scheme to encourage them to get one just isn’t going to work,” said Mr Otton.
“More people need to learn that renting and having a crushing mortgage are just two of many options. We need to spread the word about non-traditional property investment strategies like the buy to let mortgage and other lease options. I’m doing that by making my property millionaire secrets available to everyone,” Mr Otton said.
