House hunting

Wow, a real fireplace.

Clearly the latter may get filthy rich, but what are the odds?

It mostly depends on the individual in question - for you, I agree, those chances are very likely and your best possible route to still post tulip on CUK whilst retired is to engage in some low scale, primitive, real estate spekulation

Whereas the former is definitely going to end his days prosperous and wealthy without doing too much/or any work

That if you don't default on payments and lose it all. And that Govt won't tax you more - the asset is not liquid, it's not cash and can't be moved easily. Some other area in town can become more trendy in 15-20 years and it would affect your only asset - I say that because you clearly don't have brains and even if you have n*rk$ they are not the right kind...

HTH
