you can still combine income from rent with savings...heres an example. net rent income ( after overheads ) say--8,600 pounds so--its 18,600 income requirement less rents 8600 leaves 10,000 times 2.5= 25,000 plus 16,000 ignored threshold equals 31,000 savings required so--you see even a low income dramatically reduces the savings needed. ( sorry--my new chinese laptop keyboard doesnt have a pound sign )
