    Buy to let/Second house to rent out questions

    Do we have anyone who knows about this sort of thing ? Anyone done it recently etc I can Google so much but real world and knowledge first hand always worth more. If we do I’ll post more details but basically wondering if I can/should and if it’s worth it etc. Thanks Tom
