Help me evaluate whether buy-to-let or property investment could work as a side income stream.
Capital available: [AMOUNT FOR DEPOSIT]
Current property: [OWN / RENT / MORTGAGE]
Location: [AREA]
Knowledge level: [NONE / RESEARCHED / EXPERIENCED]
Provide:
1. **Honest Assessment**: Is buy-to-let still profitable in my area? How to check
2. **Numbers Check**: Mortgage costs vs rental income vs expenses = actual profit?
3. **Stamp Duty & Tax**: The additional costs of buying a second property
4. **Mortgage Options**: Buy-to-let mortgage basics and what I'd qualify for
5. **Area Research**: How to evaluate an area for rental demand and yield
6. **Costs Breakdown**: All ongoing costs (management, maintenance, insurance, void periods)
7. **Management Options**: Self-manage vs letting agent — time vs money
8. **Legal Obligations**: Landlord responsibilities, safety requirements, and licensing
9. **Risk Assessment**: What can go wrong (bad tenants, interest rates, market crashes)
10. **IMPORTANT**: This is educational — consult a financial advisor and solicitor before investing in property.
