Oh, my days! I have a HUGE confession to make (shhh don’t tell anyone)… but I seriously cannot stand reading dull property press. You know the stuff where it’s dry as hell, you know it’s got a point, and YES you probably should be listening to it because it’s going to affect new regulation… But […]
Do you ever feel momentum dipping because you just don’t know where to buy the next property? It’s a problem I see in many investors.

This week’s Blog has been written by Heather at Advanced Bio Treatment… although based in the USA, landlords needs in the States are very much the same as the UK, as per their advice on the pitfalls first time landlords need to avoid.

It’s true. Putney, house prices have fallen by 15% in the last 12 months, that’s where I live… and own a pretty damned expensive flat… sad times. You read those kinds of stats and it’s enough for your neighbours to start gossiping about what they are going to do, your dog to start getting concerned […]
