Can someone tell me (or perhaps point me in the right direction of posts where this is already covered) the different expenses and payments that I will incur becoming a landlord. This may be a reality for me in the next year. My current mortgage is 1100 and the property will rent for that much (that is what others in the estate pay, and my house is much nicer ). So I am wondering what it is likely to cost me per month/annum. In my personal budget I am setting aside 1k per month to cover all costs associated with this, but am hoping it will come in at less than this. I have no idea though. Is there a professional body that can give me assistance re form filling and agencies to sign up for?
