Property Inventories
I have a few rental properties and I've done a few renovations.

Another lesson - I love what I do - don't get into it if your heart isn't in it.

tbh, this lady (friend of the family) needs a web designer/marketeer
mrs is perfectly positioned to help, but to do it properly needs to register...i'd get cash in hand if I could

Something I'd recommend wholeheartedly is HMRC learning courses
Really good - they'll tell you what you can and can't claim, what your status is and how to do it properly.

West Yorks and one nightmare North Yorks, mix of student and professional

I'd always thought I'd rather have higher end properties, less likely to get trashed
but, potentially more demanding tenents

Topcliffe - North Yorks
Looses me money consistently. It's the nicest gaff I've got by a long way - Edwardian 4 bed mid terrace - but it's always Army officers who fuck it over.

Let it work at your own speed then
I set up two years ago and expected too much - I was on the bones of my arse for a year but it's going now.

i'm impressed, with a mortgage, child etc I don't kn ow how I'd leave the warm blanket of PAYE!

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 13 May 2013, 20:47, Reply)

I don't have those encumbrances
And - without sounding pretentious - I had the security of my investments to fall back on.

Seriously, you will - or your Missus will - learn a lot of things about herself that she may not have known. This may be for the good or the bad, but it's a very life-affirming experience if nothing else.

Can't help there but books will be easy
If you don't buy and sell it's pretty easy to keep your own books.
