There are heaps of Opportunity in Buy-To-Let
Big companies are investing billions of dollars in buy-to-let. You may say that you're jumping out it because it's no longer what it was but neither is pension and shares. Do you jump out somewhere else or do you ride the big companies who are pumping billions of dollars into build to rent?

If you look at things like you know going and doing development and the risks associated with it.

And this is the problem you can say well I'm jumping out of buy-to-let because buy-to-let is no longer what it was, no but neither is pension neither are shares neither of that.
