As the other Richard has said, it is possible to keep a BTL - I did - 3 months out of BR - working and back to my old self - would not like to re-live the experience though.
I have a great family and they kept me sane!

I know from conversation with Paul that he is dealing with many (hundreds) of investment properties on behalf of landlords that have got into difficulty, it may be best to delay bankruptcy until you have spoken to him.
regards Richard
