Career


Do it while you're young then Dan, I've got a cousin who's flipping properties. He works in Morrison's as a manager and says that the bank is more than happy to give him mortages on properties, he's done three at the moment. He buys the ex-junky etc houses which have been reposessed and auctioned, does them up and rents them out to pay the mortage. If it all collapses all he loses is a motorbike and a few thousand, which is why I say do it while you're young and have nothing much to lose. He split one house into two apratments and the house was re-valued at almost £80,000 more!

This is true an good advice... I was thinking within the next few years or so start sorting out mortgages etc and doing exactly what your friend does. £80K more! See now that is just crazy :)

Why's that then? Some people love being a spark

I do enjoy being an electrician dont get me wrong and im glad ive always got that behind me now, ive just always been one to try and find more challenges/goals for myself, new ideas etc keep the brain ticking... Routine for too long is not for me even if it works.

Not only that there is BIG money to be earned and i like the idea of property development. I know all the right people and will sort out any electrical work needed myself. I will still do odd private jobs on the side from time to time if need be.
