Bio
Entrepreneur - Globally ranked Head Hunter for 40 years - taking a bit of a break at present as I got married and nabbed an UK big portoflio property who has moved offshore with Me and is loving it.
Property Investor for 40 years - The real return on UK property now taking into account everything is 2% - meaning it is not a good investment at all. And what you do make will be taken off you by the UK tax man
Selling up - one 6 Bed 12% ROI HMO still to sell - it's the best performing asset and I have great tenants.
Moved to Financial Markets investing which I now know hands down beats property investment

Would be good if it actually worked. I found out one immigrant was subletting a room of mine. But I suspect it was done via word of mouth so he would still havd gotten away with it.
