How would a PLO work for a portfolio landlord who's properties are all in his own name and is a higher rate tax payer and therefore cant off set mortgage payments off his tax return. How would it benefit him from a tax perspective as he would still declare the income he gets from the lease payment?

@mattparsons7884 you are correct and so if we are paying the mortgage for the property we would also make an extra payment of about 20% of the mortgage also to cover the extra tax they would have to pay, so the landlord is not out of pocket. Kind regards Simon
