£220,000 isnt a bad wage for one year (time it took to build and sell)

True thats where the big money is but money can be made from letbys etc and sales on a smaller scale. Lot of hassle though if you don't have the contacts like anton has :)

i think its more of a fashionable thing to do just now.... a 'cool' job title if you dont like the real one....

One of Fee's mates was seeing this right 'plonker'. He said he was a property developer.... hairy muff

He was helping his dad do up a run down shop in an awfull area of edinburgh. They still havent sold it. This guy is 30 and works in telesales :/

go figure

Exactly what I was going to say, there are loads of big time buyers about there who sell/rent their propertys. I know of a few people who own 20+ houses and who have sold loads and made a packet. Unfortunatly it's now a difficult market to break into as everyone has seen the potential!
