We have an old family friend who made millions of pounds through smart investing in property.  He began working in a regular job and made a normal salary but was able to spot good opportunities when the market was at a low point. From then on he continued to read the signs and follow them and over the years reinvest whatever he made to the point where he is already retired at a young age. When asking the question which property mentor should I listen to he was one of the first we talked with – he has proven himself a savvy investor after twenty years in the game.
