The buy to let market is booming and this could provide an excellent opportunity for people wanting to purchase a property and make some money. This is largely due to the rental market being so strong, as people are turning to renting rather than buying. If you have enough money to put down a good deposit on a flat or a house, you are in a very strong financial position.
Buying to let has a lot of benefits for you. It will make you money immediately and as long as the property is decent, it should be very easy for you to find tenants. The rent you can charge will all depend on the area but as a general rule, it should cover your mortgage repayments and make you a decent profit as well.
Bear in mind that renting a property out takes a lot of work. There are lots of regulations to meet and every time something goes wrong, it will be your sole responsibility.
