ESR Bob Thanks for the replies. If I was to clear all the buy to lets it would generate an income of £16200 after tax and running expenses. I think you are probably right, I should sit on the money for 6 to 12 months and then have another look at the situation. I think semi-retired is also...

My figures are in pounds sterling - sorry if this has caused any confusion. I have been running my own company for a few years and have had a good offer and decided to sell. This has enabled me to clear the mortgage and left me with the £280K to invest. I got the investment properties 3 years...

What is the % split of your investments?

Hi I want advice on how you would invest 500K I want it to generate an income rather than capital growth. Can you give me an idea of what kind of return it would generate. I am new to investing and want as many different opinions as possible!! Thanks
