    you missed property developer

    :D
    Ok i'm joking, there's nothing lazy about being one. But what do you think should be done to stop the rich from buying houses to rent out which in turn stops young people from getting on the property ladder? If indeed you think anything should be done.

    </p>

    The demand for rented accomodation dictates the rent values which in turn dictate property values viathe purchase price landlordsare willing to go to. In short the rented accomodation market is dictated by demand. If you somehow managed to stop buy-to-lets outbidding private buyers when market permits you'd be depleting the number of rented properties available at exactly the time when they're in most demand by those in greatest need of them.</p>

    Anyway I have two other professions as well, so there.</p>

    Don't you just love em...

    Leeching off the property market, hogging all the tradesmen and in it for the money. It almost makes you want the housing market to collapse just to land them in it.

    The house at the side of my mum recently went up for sale at price for a quick sale. It would have made a great buy for a young family taking their first steps on the ladder but no it went to a property developer who will now run a quick makeover on it and sell it for substantial gains. Don't get me wrong, they had as much legal right to buy it as anyone else... but morally... hmm.

    I suppose it's no worse than buying stocks and shares. Trying to make gains from someone's business without putting any work in. That's what investment is all about isn't it.

    Selling ringtones and such to gullible teenagers

    I assume it's teenagers that are buying these ringtones at £3 per week (£156pa).

    And who pays for that service where they text you the name of your future husband or first baby? Somebody is! Are they nuts?

    This has got to be one small step up from mugging people on the streets.
