5 houses in - carry on or slowly retire ?

I’ve breached my life goal a while back but simply shrugged it off and set the bar higher … there’s always bigger yacht.

Give it all away to charity and challenge yourself to build it all up again. Provided to you're up for the task and man enough to do it.

Where do you put a stop to this ? Just finished buying another house and my greedy nature is already thinking of next. My girlfriend wants me to stop and retire on Tenerife with small but healthy income in comparison to contracting.

on one hand I think I have developed solid investment strategy with loads of millions capacity. At a cost staying in this crap weather

on the other a place in the sun now…

I know it’s free advice but I’m interested what are your views on this ?

I'd seriously consider trading them in for a hotel

This does happen quite a bit but its usually down to misreading markets and getting the pricing wrong.
Poor occupancy usually starts and ends with poor pricing on these.
Second to this is location
Third is p*** poor general business management.
