Its not as easy as it seems. Building work is expensive and it can take a long time to recoup your money. The biggest problem is borrowing the money to purchase to start with. Best plan is to get a good job, get a mortgage, possibly improve it or eventually buy another with the equity. First step - get a well paid job. Good luck with your studies - that probably is your first step. Sounds like you are young so be patient.

Dear J Hague,

As stated above a career in property development sounds great but the initial capital required is huge.

Not sure on your chosen studying path but experience in the building trade and on site will help you build contacts and skills that will save you stacks of cash over the long term

Haha, I've just asked almost exactly the same thing. Sorry to anyone who sees the repetition.
