Without knowing FA about building regualtions (sic)
Why is it that so many people seem to think that property
development is a licence to print money.

It's clear from the Property Ladder type programmes that
complete numpties can made money doing up houses and I thought it
was time to have a go.

Its also clear from the Property Ladder type programmes that
complete numpties *THINK* they can made money doing up houses.

What's so wrong with that?

Nothing, but to make a living from it is an entirely different
ballgame it takes many skills and a large portion of luck to succeed
in the long term. I started at 18 and believe me there are quicker
and easier ways to get rich quick.

Long term, I don't know anyone that hasn't made good money in
property.

What as a property developer with this as your sole income, as is being
suggested.
You must be another I.T. dreamer..
