But it's a gamble, could work, could not, most likely won't be how you expected lol.Renting rooms might make more money, but again different challenges.

Since i've owned the property for more than 5 years i don't believe i am subject to capital gains tax for non residents ( could be wrong though) so that is at least a bonus for me should i wish to get my money out of the UK market. 

It's a gamble - and in our case, we weighed it against what we felt like were good odds and it worked out.  

Big day coming up, lets see what happens and if there is any Knee jerk reaction to the stock market. at list we don't "gamble" there hey! 

Hi,I'm form the UK and have properties in the US states of Michigan and Ohio.

You can gamble on appreciation but unless you bought the building 20yrs ago it isn't worth it for cashflow rentals.  

While you shouldn't necessarily gamble on appreciation in any particular area, but its obviously there.

They may have a restriction on gambling to, but I just found that humorous reading the language they chose to include. lol.As long as it is just notifying the lender, I don't see a problem with it.

I rather be in control over my money than having someone else gamble with it.

In the end I can only guess and a bit gamble on expenses that eat the rents away  AND then buy accordingly.
