You've been to where I live I see

Last night on facebook local crime page near me someone had their whole garden path stolen! The old man got up to no paving stones. Can you believe that. Nothing is safe round here.

Keep in mind that house prices rise most at the low end of the market so our ROCE would be very good compared to the overall market.

The trick would be not to move but buy more low price houses. Tart them up and either rent them out or flog them taking the profit to be used for further investments.

It REALLY is that simple. Our son is well on the way to having quite a nice little stable already.

That's unbelievable - a garden path!

Bet you didn't realise how apparently lucky you are to live in such a desirable location!
