All in all depending on your strategy if you’re looking to invest in rentals 4 the long term & want to start building generational wealth, a Ltd co looks like the best option. However, you need to be clear on your strategy. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ“" title="Memo" aria-label="Emoji: Memo">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ“" title="Memo" aria-label="Emoji: Memo">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ“" title="Memo" aria-label="Emoji: Memo">
Another thing to mention is that it seems like setting up the Ltd co before you get a buy-to-let will save you ££££’s

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ”‘" title="Key" aria-label="Emoji: Key">Key point also: Due to tax reasons it may be best to have separate Ltd companies if you’re flipping properties as well as a rental portfolio (seek advice).
