time to own up on the property forum??

I am approaching retirement and own 5 properties. No I am not in a topnotch job, but have worked very hard over a long time. Yes I have taken a few risks over time. I have seen the ups and downs with property for a very long time. As a young man I started with nothing,worked hard and had a go. Chased the girls, got on the grog and had a punt. Whats your story? Unless you are born with a silver spoon in your gob its hard. However we all have to start somewhere. When I say I own 5 properties I am not big noting myself. I am just indicating what can be done over many years.
