hello..
flats again..
Wanting to buy a flat to rent out. Wanting if possible to make the biggest gains possible:
So....
Where are up and coming areas?
Idealy edinburgh would be best. Close to manage, sort probs out etc. BUT edinburgh is pricey so looking at 120+ really for a 1bdrm flat, and about 500 a month rent.
So... cheap to buy, max profit in say 5 years ??!? where

students are more likely to live in bigger 3/4bdroom flats to be honest. I cannot afford that really.
Glasgow is an option though. Are these locations in glasgow central, or a fair hike out?

I also know people that are picking St Andrews, but i think thats very expensive.
Glasgow central, nearer the uni's and colleges

Adam, look at an area called Colinton mains, it's in between colinton and an area called Oxgangs, you could get a 3 bedroom house there for 120k.
Really close to a tesco, bus routes and napier university
