If you were a property investor pre 2007 there is every chance that over the last ten years you will have ran into difficulties with the bank paying mortgages when rents dropped and non payments became all too common. Back in 2007 we were running at yields of only around 5 to 6% and still there were plenty of investors in the market. I remember quite happily subsidising mortgages as the capital growth was so great that it was like having money in the bank only with much stronger capital growth.
