Hi John, Thats the stage we are at right now. I have been analysing close to us based on knowledge of the area rather than a desire to invest here (cotswolds, south midlands). I see it as practising with the numbers in a safe area. The obvious places to focus on seem to be in the North based on the data I am reading (and hearing from the podcasts etc) so I will be turning my search soon to Leeds, Manchester, Stockport, Bolton, Newcastle & York. Cheers Greg

Great prompt. Was already following on twitter but hadn't thought about FB. Now on both

Hi, I presume by letting costs you mean both upfront costs + ongoing management fees (if going down that route)? gas certificate / epc?

Hi Uthman, Firstly good luck in sorting this through in your head - it can be quite overwhelming at the start....we're in the same place!

And lo and behold we realised that we had been focussing too much on the traditional criteria of success and not focussing on ourselves enough. We also realised that we had financial freedom within our grasp if we made some radical but common sens

Hi, Been following everyone's progress for a while now whilst plotting our entry into the property investing arena. We are about ready ready to get started now. We've formed a limited company and have a few properties on our radar to look at and potentially bid for. However we we are looking for some recommendations for a good mortgage broker who has experience arranging mortgages for limited companies.

Hey, we are complete newbies who are renting our main residential house whilst we take a mid-life gap year. During this gap year, we have read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and so have decided that a 5 bed house in a premium school catchment area isn't the best use of the assets of two childless people. We have made the decision that we are going to buy a smaller house in a less family friendly place to reduce our ongoing costs. The main residential house has 75% equity due to improvements, mortgage repayments and overall property value increases. Can anyone give any advice o
