I am looking to grow my BTL portfolio in west yorkshire quickly and so considering buying existing portfolios. I can buy for cash and therefore offer certainty of a quick sale, in return I need a 20% discount. I want to hear opinions from landlords if this sounds like an attractive proposition? Where would likely be the best place to find prospective sellers? Finally, is it a good idea to take on whole portfolios or to cherry pick only the ones that fit my strategy? ---

Always Cherry pick. The last thing you want is properties that do not match whatever your strategy is. Aslo, hang on I would be surprised if property did not drop at least 10% in the coming year. ---

Thanks I would prefer to cherry pick but was thinking if the seller wants shut of the lot, then in order for me to achieve that discount I may have to take everything then perhaps package up and sell on the ones that don’t suit my portfolio. ---
