To want to buy a second home just 20 miles from our current home?

[user1480355677]

When we were looking for our current home, we were torn between two areas and basically let the house decide so to speak, so which area had the perfect house for us. Still love where we live, love the house, the area, the community. But still have a hankering to live in this other location which is so quiet and peaceful.

We own 5 properties, 4 of which we rent out as holiday homes but none are in this other location. We are looking at buying another holiday home and a property has come up in this other location and I would absolutely love to live there.

Would it be completely crazy to own two homes just 20 miles apart? Our current home would be used monday to friday and the new home would be used at weekends and in the holidays (we're both teachers).

Loads of BTL/second home threads in the last couple of days.

Loads.

Depends, where will your butler live?

One of my best friends is a teacher and she can't afford to buy a house. I must tell her to work harder and then she can buy not 1 but 6 houses. She'll be over the moon and wonder why she never worked hard before.

So everyone who hates btl, do you never rent a cottage in the lakes for the weekend, or a villa in France in the summer? Do your student children not live in rented houses?

Or are you all just total hypocrites?

What's with all the threads being started by people with randomly generated usernames who then don't reply to the thread? There's been loads of these of late.

dealsouls yep, loads, - journos or random goady fuckers I reckon, although who is going to be getting their rocks off winding up poor people and hard working teachers I do not know. However, if 2016 has proved anything it is that the world is a fucking strange place right now!

Are they Wendy Houses?

Never mind OP, you'll be able to buy a hotel soon.

Hold the thread whilst I get my popcorn would you? Ta ever so much

would you nab some peanuts whilst you're there Charlie? Ta

you work har for your money?

so others dont do they

When will people realise that saying/thinking "we worked hard for our money" makes you much more of an arse than you otherwise might be??

I love the 'I work hard for my money'
I think the post is designed for goady fuckery but I'll bite in case it prevents someone else from saying it in RL..
My bin men (there are no women on our round) work 'harder' than my lovely brother who earns a six figure salary. For a princely 17k. My cleaner works harder than me.
Think about it

You mean your tenants work hard to pay for your 5th house.

is this house under a bridge?!

The struggle is real
