Old garden centre... buy them, demolish and get planning.... like you say 5 to 7 times your investment... Or build out yourself... We're doing 33 units this year for 1 developer and have 2 plots we're building out as JV, plan to keep a couple of units as rentals ourselves.... With all the house building going on people need places of work, small start up units are cheap to rent, cheap to buy and fairly cheap/quick to build... there are thousands of new houses and it's a crowded market place...

You know my thoughts mate....I'm an all in type... you know the risks in most investments, theres no dead cert...bricks and mortar my old man always said....and I guess in the long term that's right...but you've got to take other risks to have quicker money imo.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyways fresh year and should be easier as kids are happy and healthy in school too and missus has gone back to work and a loan should be gone , so will catch up for rest of year and then have another go. I've never shied away from challenges and changes, but the last few years has kicked the shit out of me, so enjoying the mundane for now. I made a fair amount on property in my twenties and blew it on travel , women and beer, so there's an element of guilt to catch up and make things more secure for wife and kids, whilst also trying to recoup what time I've missed with them. But I feel excited for other folks and their new ventures and journeys. My folks always strived to improve, and did well in property and business unfortunately the last roll of the dice in business wiped out 30 years of graft and a shit load of capital, they're elderly now but I respect them for having a go and giving me everything as well as a good work ethic. Some of the most successful are those that can take a knock and go again not many entrepreneurs make it first time out. It's also important for youngsters to see people taking chances and grafting to give them some broader horizons and opportunities in life I think.atb Joe Very good post mate ... 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd pay off my house and buy the house my dads got sitting empty off him which wouldnt take too much of the million. Buy a better house for us round our way 200k would get you a massive nice place. then rent out the other houses. Whatevers left to splash on designer clothes, family holidays and dirtbikes. Dirt bikes are all my 7 year old girl goes on about . I know f**k All about them and I think it’s cause pinks daughter is always on them.
