anyone investing in uk property?, page-8

Well each to their own and as Passive states whatever suits. Honestly how much do you need in income to retire. You need an income of at least $100k after tax. So you need rental income of 2.5k a week. How many houses fully paid off in S.A. does that take. Buying potential development sites and investing in Mining towns is the most riskiest of property. Sometimes plans change, councils delay or companies go bust. But when you do cash in it is lotto. I will not brag but investing in Scarborough, Midland and Rockingham in Perth have given me about twenty years of rental income. We are all individuals.
