Thanks for this. I'm in the UK too. One of the things I was thinking of doing is buying a flat that needs work then selling it on or converting to buy to let mortgage. Ive heard getting three under your belt like this is a good time go full time on it. My problem is I'm in a full time job and I've got a one year old. I'd really like to use property as a way to become self employed and get out of corporate world.

What does your software business do (if you dont mind telling me!)

Also what's your profit margin on say a bathroom or a kitchen?
