No one wants to move in next to a nuisance neighbour who makes a racket, blocks your driveway or is abusive, and this is the same for your tenants too.
Like homeowners the last thing they want to do is live next to someone who harasses them – they want to live in peace. But the [...]
I have always been fascinated by the property investment scenario used in Scotland. It is not just because homeowners can easily get you to bid more than 25% above their properties real worth, but it is the general mystery their property investment system has got to offer as a whole.
It is undeniable that the buy-to-let mortgage market has considerably improved in the last 4 months, yet despite these clear improvements these deals are no where near the quality they were in 2007.
It is a catch-22: impressive 100% buy-to-let mortgages on properties valued £250,000 and above or restricted mortgage deals on properties that are discounted [...]

Hey everyone,
I honestly don’t know what to make of this article by BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7855847.stm. It is either very original or very crazy.
You see the council are planning to build social houses out of Straw bales. Now whilst on the one hand I have got a clear image of the 3 little pigs in my [...]
Hey everyone,
I have learnt a great philosophy this week, one that I just had to share with you: ‘It is all about the cashflow’.
Now I know for the last few weeks, I have been harping on about going on a property course – well I have done it, and it was incredible!
I am actually shocked [...]
