I have two other properties in London too, which are easy to let and the rental income both covers the mortgages and make a small profit.
Buying the ones in Leicester was a big mistake. I listened to advice which has since been found to be incorrect.
Squad, yes I live with my partner in his house, but I don't really think there is much I can do about the two white Elephants in Leicester, except sit on them and see if the council will take them. I suspect they will not though, as there are possibly thousands of other people in my situation, who fell for the lies of investment clubs.
Oh well, you live and learn.
