10 Rental Properties or Bitcoin? The Investment Debate Everyone’s Ignoring
This weekend on The Investor’s Corner, we explore property vs Bitcoin with Jason Deane. Find out why some investors are rethinking traditional portfolios, the impact of UK regulation, and whether property is still the best way to build wealth.
This weekend on The Investor’s Corner, we’re sharing a two-part episode looking at a big question for investors right now: is property still the best way to build wealth, or are things starting to change?
Ian Macbeth and Andy Brown speak with Jason Deane. Jason grew up around property investing and has owned rental properties himself, but in recent years he has shifted much of his focus into Bitcoin.
They talk through the basics of property vs Bitcoin, and why some investors are starting to look at things differently with.
Property vs Bitcoin: What’s the Difference?
Property has always been a popular way to build wealth in the UK. It gives you a physical asset, rental income, and the chance for long-term growth.
Bitcoin is very different. It’s digital, not controlled by any one country, and doesn’t produce income in the same way property does.
In simple terms, the key differences are:
- Property is more stable, Bitcoin can be more volatile
- Property can give monthly income, Bitcoin is more about growth
- Property is heavily regulated, Bitcoin is not
Why Some Investors Are Moving Away from Property
In the episode, they discuss why some investors are starting to sell or reduce their property holdings.
Some of the main reasons include:
- Higher taxes for landlords
- More rules and regulations
- Rising mortgage costs
Because of this, some investors are looking at alternatives like Bitcoin, which can feel easier to manage and more flexible.
The Impact of UK Regulation
Property investing has become more complicated over the years.
Landlords now have to deal with more rules around:
- Tenant rights
- Property standards
- Licensing and paperwork
This has made property more time-consuming and, for some, less profitable. It’s one of the reasons investors are starting to explore other options.
Is Property Still a Good Investment?
Property still has strong points.
It is:
- A real, physical asset
- Able to generate income
- Proven to work over the long term
But this episode makes it clear that it may not be the best fit for everyone anymore. More investors are now comparing it with options like Bitcoin.
A Two-Part Conversation
The key message from Part 1 is simple: the way people invest is changing.
More investors are:
- Spreading their money across different assets
- Questioning old assumptions
- Looking for new opportunities
👉 Part 2 out soon, where the conversation continues and goes deeper into what this shift could mean.
