I've actually been painting one of my properties today as the tennants have just given notice. I'm getting this one valued and may stick it on the market and re-invest in 12 months when hopefully the market wil be on it's knees
Like most things it's not as easy as it seems and the risks can be very high. In fact the coming months are going to be very interesting for landlords! I also developed property but stopped after one property sat around for 10 months while buyer after buyer fell through. The plan was to extend to new builds but it was shelved.
I'm now looking at more commercial propert as I have a healthy SIP sitting there soing nothing other than earning a small amount of interest.
