For me he did 80-90% of the talking. In his world where do you go if you dont like the states rental? In a free market you can simply choose somewhere else 💁🏼‍♂️

[@scottfitzgerald5309]

I won't be turning left after hearing this guy's logic

[@johnwilkins5850]

This guy doing the interview is just trying to make a name for himself I.M.O. And you have twat of the year. Congratulations.

[@silverltc2729]

Thumbs down, because these authoritarian communists know nothing about human rights.

[@nozimoyo-giwa]

This guy is clueless, why should the landlord provide accommodation for free to a tenant. Even the council charges rent. You composed yourself very well, Sam.

[@vimbaiamoah]

I thought I was the only one thinking that. How thick can someone be. I don't even understand his argument. It's like landlords are forcing tenants into the properties.

[@sarahdaniels6078]

Instead of talking such ridiculous nonsense this interviewer should go and get himself a property and then rent it out to tenants and I hope that tenant doesn’t pay the rent so then he’ll be able to face the fact that he can’t pay the mortgage I wonder what his response will be then!?

[@snorttroll4379]

@@vimbaiamoah it is more like these monkey came here before me. why should they have more right to that place

[@stevehunter8596]

His argument was community housing with capital provided by building societies as worked previously. This was rented at cost, so there no profit. The argument against this is that people are less inclined to remain in their communities these days compared to the 60s so probably wouldn't be as successful. Building Societies will also need to change their business models back to the community-owned models prior to the banks owning them.

[@mast3335]

Couldn't say it better, the victim mentality of system men

[@thethinkingman2005]

Rental property is a product, the landlord finds a property, refinished it, cleans and decorates it, brings it up to safe standards, and maintains it.

[@niki-mars955]

Exactly

[@narellecowan1535]

This has boggled my brain. Renovating a property puts money into the economy and is landlords labour as he called it, but also Tesco's CEO doesn't hand pick the fruit or farm the meats, they buy that stuff super cheap and add a mark up to put in their pockets. So they take from farmers and labourers for a profit sat in their offices. I can't follow why he thinks this is any different. 🤷

[@atojaws5463]

Samuel, you did well to tolerate this. I really hope this guy was just playing the devils advocate. He’s on another planet.

[@Rich-ls5mm]

Elite emotional control 💪

[@td1297]

My god, that was hard to watch, I've been a tenant for years, and never once did I see it as anything other than a business transaction, I paid for a service I was provided, not even the Council give free accommodation you pay them rent 🤦‍♂️ First he says the supermarket argument is invalid as they are producing a good and stealing is then detrimental to the business then says the developer doesn't build the house the builder does, so should profit off the labour. Last I checked, Asda didn't have a mango orchard or a dairy farm out back. They are procuring the services of a farmer, supplier, distributor etc... and then profiting off of that labour with the service they in turn provide. Also, when building a house, who holds the risk ?, the developer, not the builder, the builder provides a service at cost so they do profit, plus if the project falls through and the bank and investors come knocking its not the builder or plumber they come after its the person who instructed the build, you take the risk, you reap the reward.

[@stevehunter8596]

He didn't mention free rent, he suggested their could be community-led housing development which could be rented at cost. This used to be common practice and does seem to be happening again.

[@pierre-edouardginape1840]

thank you @turnleft The only thing I retained from this debate is that: Sainsbury's should allow me to purchase food at the wholesale or cost price. How dare they try to mark up the food! They aren't the ones producing it... 🤣

[@beverleyknowles2946]

This guy is obviously highly educated. The problem is that he's pointing out problems with the system. Samuel operates within the system. He doesn't control the system. He has mastered the system but he's not responsible for it. Therefore, really, this guy needs to take his issues to the electorate. If what he says is true and most people would prefer a less capitalist system then its up to most people, ie the electorate, to vote for the system they'd prefer. Until then landlords operate within the system we've got. Survival of the fittest. Nothing more, nothing less.

[@lohar34437]

The host has a misunderstanding of basic economics and can't explain why BTL businesses are different from any other business. Any business adds a margin to its good/service. Sainsbury's also buys food cheap and sells it for a profit. Car rental companies buy cars and rent them out for a profit. The issue with the housing market is lack of supply (the host is also ignorant of the fact that we have fewer landlords than in 2016, which coincides with increasing rents). All of the host's suggestions would restrict supply and increase prices. Yes, it's possible for govt to provide housing instead of landlords. Given the way the govt arranges our other public services, I know which system I'd prefer.

[@snorttroll4379]

I think it is the property rights thing. that why should these monkeys have more right to an area just because they came before me.

[@drewhodge3820]

Without landlords where will these people live?

[@SamuelLeeds]

[@Sam123-yd2uu]

Christ you are thick as pigs shit. How about in the houses that landlords have bid up?

[@jonscobie1]

surely being a landlord is more important than most other jobs

[@nikbassi3608]

Good debate guys. Samuel is mature and clearly very knowledgeable in his trade. Before Margaret Thatcher some rented housing standards were appalling, adding a few more landlords has driven overall standards higher over the years. Anyone taking a risk to create new housing, provide jobs during a build, creating work for property managers after, stimulating our economy, paying taxes back into the system, and then putting in hard work and effort to make life easier for families, single people, people with mental health problems, and the many many people who do not want the responsibility of a mortgage or having to do repairs to their own homes, has my respect.

[@user-io9op3jg9j]

Is this bloke for real? If you don’t pay rent then the landlord should foot the bill? Why wouldn’t the tenant go to the work and pay the rent. Landlord serve a purpose and are not the ogre.

[@darrenrussell4906]

I need to thank you Samuel. I started watching you because i found you interesting and of same faith. I watched all your content and was fed up working 80 hours a week for the monetary return - never scared to work hard. I am excellent in hospitality so every business that was for sale i offered very little upfront money - as i didnt have a lot - but the promise of payment weekly. Everyone said no then i got a reply from a lovely couple wanting to retire but no buyer. I got a cafe making £1k profit a week after costs only open 6 hrs a day 5 days a week. The goods and furnishings would be £30k to replace new. I got it for £2.5k down and £100 a week for 175 weeks with a handshake that if i do really well i will pay it quickly. I was amazed to get it but it just shows deals are out there. As soon as i can i need your course so i can reinvest the money i make. I open boxing day 😀 Good luck my brother and thank you 👍

[@alex87013]

This is hard to listen to. Crazy to think some people are so entitled they think they should be allowed to use other peoples products they bought with their own money for free.

[@maryginger4877]

4 people need a house, Samuel Buys a house, he could rent that to 1 person and leave 3 people homeless.... OR he could do 4 EnSuite with wifi at affordable prices.. and the journalist, bless him thinks its better to have 3 people with nowhere to live and 1 person housed.... Couldn't make it up.

[@buildingbuildercip8292]

Thank god for men like Samuel…he literally gives hope to the hard working ambitious men out there who believe they can better themselves by working hard for it. Everything is within reach.

[@MarathonMadeGalatians5-22]

Its not my talent to debate so i'll just leave a review. Sam you have a really good mindset and i agree with you. Your not just a landlord your some what a developer. A team with multiple skill sets needs 1 leader to plan a project. Interviewer I dont agree how your social utility is having a podcast... but i like how your coming from a good place trying to find way to improve the country. Love to both of you :)

[@GraceAnastasia]

Why don’t people see landlords as that being their JOB? Don’t they understand that you have a mortgage to pay and that is your bread and butter. Also you worked hard beforehand to have that home, you wasn’t handed it for free. One word THICK 🙈🤣

[@TonyGetsFit91]

Amazed at how the people who call themselves woke or left wing at the most close minded individuals in society. Also amazes me how they are so intentionally ignorant. Always amused how they will rattle of as much crap as possible and add in as much fancy words as possible to sound clever. Because they know they have no argument so don’t want to keep saying, I don’t know, or I don’t have an answer for that. And yes you can paint them with all with the same brush for the most part.

Oh dear lord, this guy has no idea how the world works adn has always worked...free market etc. His view on risk and landlords is naive if not dillusional. Providing good quality products for a profit is an age old practice, regardless of the product/service - he seems to beleive that everything should be provided for him free...rely on the state - ha ha.

This guy is deluded and doesn't shut up. Well done Samuel for debating with him even though you couldn't get a word in edgeways.

[@TopsyTaiwo]

This was a brilliant debate. Great job on both sides to have a measured and insightful discussion about this (rare to see nowadays). This was fundamentally an ideological disagreement. Free Market Vs Statism: Which one works better? --- If you are ideologically against privatisation & more specifically the privatisation of housing provision in the UK, you will never accept landlordism as a legitimate business. Portfolio landlords (not all of them are perfect) are running a business that provides a product & service to a willing and able buyer. They also provide a service, generally to a higher quality than the public sector has done in the past (the state of a lot of council housing in the country is truly shocking). Landlords are incentivised to provide a higher standard of living due to the reward of increased profits (the state won't have this incentive) Today's unaffordable housing isn't a symptom of landlordism, it's symptom of a consistently low housing supply, an ageing population, more single households, an archaic planning system & high interest rates. To blame landlords for housing affordability is misguided. Build To Rent Developers, Government endorsed schemes like Shared ownership & Help To Buy have done far more damage to housing affordability than individual landlords have. Reducing landlordism won't solve the issue of unaffordable housing, if anything it could make it worse.

[@MarathonMadeGalatians5-22]

Lets go Sam! watching it from the start now :)

[@SamuelLeeds]

Hope you enjoy it

[@stefd2600]

And just the basic law of supply and demand! More houses, less price. Who supplies them is a bit irrelevant, although i do believe private landlords will do it much more cost effective and provide better service to tenants compared to the state. Thanks Sam for an insightful video

[@rhysjackson4508]

What a debate!!! Both of you spoke properly and politely and I saw both points of view! Well done guys I much appreciate the content.

[@mazkhan2182]

When he said get a job and pay the mortgage whilst ur tenant lives for free. BROKEE

[@russbramley1270]

Theres an argument of both sides here, yes as an investor you should expect returns, but those returns is reliant on the exploitation of those that cannot afford a mortgage, to either pay the landlord a profit, or float the mortgage for inflation to take effect so that a remortgage can be used to pull equity out. Those BTL mortgages are at a higher rate than residency mortgages so naturally the landlord needs to charge more to pay the mortgage, cover maintenance and pay there (now inflated against total rent) taxes. Really there no winner or loser here, both sides has problems both sides have valid arguments

[@beg6079]

Great Debate and lovely control from SL sticking to what you have tried and tested and now selling it with comfort. Academic arguments are exactly what they are and does not always work but very good for models. I struggle to see a world without landlords. SL is a clear winner. 🎉🎉🎉 SL 2 - 1 JNL

[@janbbarrett1]

Stopped listening after 15 mins, the man is a bell end or just disingenuous if he doesn’t see how providing property to rent is a service much the same as the Sainsbury’s example he provided himself 🙈

[@AKcoxy]

Im lost for words, the solutions this guy was talking about was either trust the government ( big question mark on trusting any government ) theres a reason labour got kicked out and a reason Conservatives are hated. Second building societies and co-operatives, can flurish under the capitalist society that we have now. And it speaks volumes when you asked him what he would do if he had £5million not buy a load of houses and rent them out cheap or free, he'd start a business, which the number one thing people need is cheap accommodation.

[@keithgeraghty5247]

My word Samuel I wish I could help write some answers for you - to teach this guy a few hard facts about economics and sociology. 1 Thatcher did not sell off council housing, she gave renters the right to buy and THEY WANTED to buy their homes and not rent so that they could have a capital asset and some inheritance to pass on to their kids, whereas if they just rented, when they pass on they have nothing to pass on THATS a TRUE VISCIOUS cycle 2. Social utility - what the hell is that, who decides it, we are back to Animal Farm Russian Communism, who decides, the Communist Committe -- this has not worked in any country in the world 3. He says we did not comodity food - WHAT - food is and also HEALTH, yes we have free health care, with 2 yaer waiting lists for hip operations, so should some people die if they have cancer instead of using their own funds to see a a private doctor? 4. This guy thinks you buying a wreck of a house and doing it up and bringing it back to the market, is not raising housing stock - WHAT - its simple maths. 5. Does this guy marketise his youtoube channel, I think his misguided thinking does not help society, what is his soical utility? seeeee my point Samuel, please get in touch if you want some points to use when speaking to these Gen Z liberal communists, who think its ok for tenants not to pay rent, and wish you the landlord to get a job ---- being a landlord is a job buddy.

[@iman-alibeg3849]

Just Listening to a few minutes of this podcast, all I can say is that I went to his masterclass back on November 22, and I can honestly say to him that this Sammy is 100% genuine! Not only that I had seen so many of his videos before I went to his masterclass and he really wants people from the lower class to wake up and get hold of the opportunity to get rich, before its too late, but the only problem here is also that SL has now become so famous that everyone is now on to him, we're just waiting for Lyolds bank to nab him just for sake of being one of the biggest landlords in the UK

[@qasim5279]

The journalist could have skipped this entire conversation, he is talking to the wrong person here ... landlords simply shouldn't give a shit, why should they ? They provide housing to those who can't afford to buy ... but if i was in government, as an example, I'd probably largely agree with the journalist because I'm in a position to actually change policy.

[@liamod3518]

🤔 how can you say providing accommodation is not providing utility? The guy basically keeps contradicting himself over and over

[@lukestevenson838]

People don't won't to live in shared houses or flats especially family's with children. We need houses. Also I know so many people that have been waiting 2-3 years in hotels and b&bs waiting for council housing. Also people on benefits don't get enough to pay for rent even if they work full time.

[@mejeff7478]

The guy said about how Samuel shouldn't kick the people out who aren't paying rent. So by his logic all poorer people should live for free off the richer people. So all we have to do is sit on our asses and not work and get free rent. And thats what would happen if it was allowed. It makes no sense at all. This whole thing was hard to listen to and his points are terrible.

[@lyndamcjannet6107]

Dear god get this man off his soap box 😅 I've never heard such rubbish in all of my life honestly I've been shouting at the telly for nearly an hour watching him dronning on and on 😂 if he had a mirror he could argue with himself 😅 he's got issues he came across aggressive and opinionated 😂 and clearly blames Samuel for everything 😅 he also lives in a fantasy world were his ideas of housing could never exist he's a dreamer with an attitude 😳 I've been on Samuel Leeds courses I've meet amazing people who encourage everyone there to be the best vision's of themselves I'm now on my own property journey to become a good landlord because of him 😅 helping my family and going into the social housing sector. That's what lots of landlords do give back 🙂 Samuel you handled yourself incredibly well ( when you could get a word in😅) you stood your ground and responded in a kind , compassionate and level headed way unlike like this crazy yappy dog who just went around in circles loving the sound of his own boring opinionate voice 😬😅

[@RabJ208]

Samuel, you missed a couple of tricks. You didn't bring up the topic of rising population and how this impacts the market and how the government aren't building enough to keep up with the demand. You could have spoke on how landlords like us fill that void. He would have struggled on those points because he wouldn't have had an answer.

[@Rossy440]

Who takes on the risk? Not a Tennant. That's what a tenant pays for, the privilege of living in a home with no investment because believe it or not housing doesn't grow out of the ground nothing is free in this world. It's fine to pay for a hotel or airb&b but for some reason landlords are just supposed to pay your way because how dare they ask for money for their service

[@2008alexuk]

Simple response to this attitude to landlords. If I buy a house, does anyone have any control or interest in it other than me? No? Ok, then what I choose to do with it, live in it, rent it, whatever, is absolutely nothing to do with anyone else.

[@SMOKEANDBONES]

This guy was essentially talking rubbish and you can see it on sams face 😂

[@SamuelLeeds]

I tried to be polite

[@gosskamperis2016]

I watched this video, genuinely open minded and open to learning how "lefties" can justify their position. What I learnt was how illogical the interviewer is. WE ALL make money by solving other people's problems. eg If my problem is that I'd like a coffee, a barista solves that problem by making me a coffee, for which they get paid. A tenant needs a roof over their head, a landlord solves that problem by providing a property, for which they get paid.

[@Arcklez]

"The Landlord isnt providing housing only capital, the workers produce the value and why dont they take 99% of the profits?" I dont understand this diminishing of "capital" as if it isnt an integral part of providing houses because first of all no worker works for free and secondly the materials they need to build the house has to be paid for in the first place with "capital" You can have as many workers as you want ready to build houses but not going to be as many people with the "capital" to actually pay for their work and resources needed.

[@successwithlewisanderson3673]

If it wasn't for Landlords, I would be homeless and on the street or begging from the government for housing. I would be in rough area where I do not want to be and my kids would be around people I don't want them mixing with. Landlords are good. As long as they are fair and cap their profits.

[@richardsaupe]

OMG, this journalist is definitely poor & lacks basic investment creativity!

[@goodgoldisrare]

Landlords do take risks. They pay a mortgage, taxes etc and have to pay for a refurb to be able to provide a decent housing situation (would the government do that for its people?). The interviewer doesn’t understand this. For him, it’s kind of unfair tenant are stuck being tenants. I’ve heard this before, not the first time I hear this. And my answer is, you can get yourself educated, learn about property (would you pass your driving license test without studying it? Of course not. So you learn it and practice driving a car). So the number of excuses I’ve heard is incredible. And yes, Samuel is correct. Most people are lazy and then blame the or their parties for being responsible. The true only person who is responsible of your life is yourself.

[@bridgetkirk7065]

The social security system keeps people poor, they risk losing their benefits if they do overtime or start a side hustle. What they lack is investment in education, health, training, childcare, business grants, etc. However I agree there is a 'woe betide me' mindset in our culture and many people lack knowledge about personal finances. People didn't save for a rainy day when life was less expensive.

[@richardsaupe]

WTF adam smith 17/1800 & Karl Marx 18/1900 LMAO he is quoting ancient history about Landlords... these were a different breed & monopolies controlling the work houses, land & property, and media narratives and I would agree with him based on that... OMG ttalk about searching the small print for confirmation bias sake!

[@6052rj]

I was a software developer for years and paid a wage. Do I get free money every time the software I wrote is sold? No. Someone put up the capital to pay me to do it. They are rewarded for their risk. People like this want all of the benefits with none of the risk.

[@richardsaupe]

Everything he says could be solved by property education, financial education, common sense with spending money... try budgeting :)

[@macgod42]

If you want more people to own houses let's bring wages up, decrease tax not just on wages but on ALL of the stealth taxes (there's a lot of them look them up!). Change the monetary system at the top level, stop knocking landlords. If you don't own a vehicle you will either rent one, catch a bus or train and, ffs, PAY, same for accommodation. Honestly this TL Media guy gets money for his podcasts, buy some houses with your money mate and give them for free then I'll take you seriously!

[@snorttroll4379]

more permitted development. the government is holding back the development. the big landlords lobby for it. so the solution is to remove the power to regulate how a property is used from the government.

[@Koop22]

Using fancy political terminology where half of the country prob wouldn’t understand doesn’t help create a plausible debate. “Social utility” is used many times but has no viable meaning here. If a landlord doesn’t pay mortgage because the tenant can’t pay the rent, the house gets repossessed and then the tenant is homeless. Then what happens? Also, to the journalist, if I want to stay in your house for free - why isn’t that allowed? But tenants can stay in landlords house for free is fine..?

[@MultiCamalot]

Guy clearly has an issue with success around landlords! You ask anyone what the best investment is, they will tell you its property. When you lease a car, you pay monthly, if you dont it gets taken away. You don't own it. Saying the buildings of the 48 houses should het 99% of the profit shows how withdrawn he is from the real world. 100% agree with Sam, SO MANY people cant afford houses, i thank my landlord for providing me and my family a home.

So if this interviewer went to Cineworld to watch a movie, would he complain that he coudn't take the movie away with him. Some businesses are there to offer a service, you don't have to take away everything that you buy.

Why did government and councils get rid of social housing in the first place?! Because social housing is a literal money pit. If it wasn’t for entrepreneurial property landlords, the housing situation would be much worse. The host wants landlords to rent at a loss??!!😂😂😂😂doesn’t make sense……..bad tenants contribute to the housing crisis. People who can’t afford to buy is not a landlords fault, it’s the fault of minimum wage, it’s a fault of the living crisis, it’s the fault of inflation and interest rise……

The left are so painfully wrong it hurts. I can't actually believe there are people who think they have a right to live in someone else's house for nothing just because the landlords name is on the title deed. "Go and get a job to pay the mortgage like the rest of us"...*rents a house instead of buying one like the rest of us*

I don't understand how he can say a developer shouldn't be entitled to the profit as it was the workers that added value and should get the profit when 2 of his 3 solutions were to use co-ops and building societies? I've never seen financial institutions plastering a wall and adding value in the way he claims workers do? Maybe I need to eat some avocado on toast and drink herbal tea and I'll understand

[@sarahdaniels6078]

I’m really not sure this interviewer has a clue what he’s talking about! Does he really think that landlords don’t have mortgages and expenses to pay on the properties they rent out? If a tenant doesn’t pay his rent and the landlord will lose the property if they the money to pay the mortgage! Then there won’t be any properties to let to tenants! He needs to really get a clue read a book before he calls himself an interviewer! It’s absolutely ridiculous scenario.

[@dmitrylivchak8421]

So, I'm 15 minutes in watching this interview, and the interviewer is talking crap 🤣🤣🤣. As a landlord, you bought the property (likely still paying a mortgage) so be a good person an let someone live in your property for free while you go and get a job. 🤦🤦🤦. Really? If people don't like paying rent, and they're single or a couple, get a caravan or a tent and live off grid. Much cheaper that way. And yes, that's exactly how I live

[@russelljohnsimmonds5203]

Sam is totally correct here.. simply a difference in thinking… socialist vs capitalist….. ying and yang. its all a choice we make socialism sounds great but it just doesnt work, free market capitalism does… and ironically, all socialists are capitalising on something or other… its a strange world we live in 🤔

Average rent near me £800/1000 pcm average mortgage £1200/1400 per calendar month for a 3 bed house, with a 20% deposit. People Carnt afford to buy, but can afford rent. This guy does not have a clue!

[@jonscobie1]

we used to have better quality housing

[@lewisg93]

Landlords don’t just magically acquire properties, they work hard, pay their taxes & sacrifice other things to save enough for the 25% deposit. I don’t think he realises how much work goes in to renovating & maintaining a property to a good standard. Also, if landlords take the mortgage payment & add on a profit as he claims how does he explain the fact that it’s cheaper to rent than to buy nowadays (especially in major cities). He should really educate himself better before taking such a strong stance & spouting his victim card drivel as fact.

[@marketanosek9419]

You should have brought examples of countries where the regulations chased the landlords from the market. All of sudden there were no properties for rent. Also the standard of living in soacilist/communist countries with no private landlords was very very low. All those socialist should test living in a pure socialist system. They would have woken up quickly!
