I've also always wondered that myself actually. I don't actually know, but I did raise the question in our forum, and there is a lot of speculation.

I initially started this website because I wanted to document my every step from property idiot to property landlord,
in hope that people would find my site and help me along the way. I literally didn't have a clue about being a landlord
when I started this website.
