    Exactly, Beagle! I'm not sure that everyone realises the gravity of the situation yet.

    You risk it every day you put money into something other than your mortgage and whether it is reckless or not depends on a number of factors including equity, salary and industry which I didn’t specify and don’t intend to

    Yes I agree except conversely gravity = potential opportunity for investors

    Reckless, had good a laugh. It's reckless to have all your money in property.

    absolutely, all these are factors that come into your decision making, including your degree of risk acceptance, your insurance cover, a 2nd income , no. of kids, which is why we can only go by the guideline - which is don't do it.

    If you know all these things and they are well sorted then you may be able to come to a decision to ignore all the advice , take the risk, and in 5 years time you'll be laughing your way to a mega portfolio - maybe.
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    I concur with you Peat.

    If I was taking risks relying on my income I would stump up for some sort of permanent disability insurance , and life insurance with enough cover to buy the portfolio outright and provide sufficient income for the wife and kids.
    Unexpected stuff can happen, and you should see these insurance costs as the price for taking on extra risk and mitigating that risk wherever it is possible to do so.

    The choice with money, to put it into your mortgage - or into another asset, can't ever avoid the risk of choosing the worst option.
