The danger is that India close the loophole and sieze the property in the name of "fairness". The Indian people will support such a move and you will lose everything.

You have been warned.

Hey! It's only fair!

Retrospective change in legislation? Never!

Invest in an emerging market, my plan B is building holiday apartment in Goa India.

Interesting that. I thought the same when I was there, but I was told at the time, that the Indian government won't allow foreigners to invest in property,
unless it's done via a company or something, and even that avenue will soon be closed apparently. Do you know any different?

I am going for the 'bury my head in the sand and ignore the hell in handbasket scenario' ... working so far.

Plan C anyone

It might be something involving a bank, ski masks, a shooter and a getaway vehicle.

Though I'd steer clear of Barclays, for obvious reasons.

(Disclaimer : In no way am I advocating robbing a bank. Particularly Barclays. Because they're brassic. And um, yeah, robbing banks is wrong.)

Jog On, is there a way to leverage this easily (or with additional capital investment) in order to increase the amount it returns?

It depends on how what angle you go from, some people do affiliate marketing (selling other people's products for a commission), some people make their own e-products to sell (ebooks, software products), some people do clevcer things with ebay, some people do Google adsense (google awords ads on your site/blog that pay you every time a visitor clicks on them).

I've learnt that the most effective way to leverage is to build a list of opt in subscribers and market to them periodically, the larger the list and the more responsive the list the more money you make per offer you send out to them.

It's quite a large subject - PM me if you want to know more

Invest in an emerging market, my plan B is building holiday apartment in Goa India. The economy is growing, and there will be a growing middle class who will be looking to take holidays. I also expect the value of the rupee to increase over the next few years.

The problem with some development in Eastern Europe is the locals can’t afford to buy or rent the property. The property exists in a bubble that can burst at any time.

Well that’s my plan B for the winter months, now on to plan C for the rest of the year.

Plan C anyone

Yeah, good luck, maybe you can rent it to the abundance of street rats there.

So, having been contracting for 2 years, I've got no debts (aside from the mortgage) and am fairly cash liquid. What's everyone else's plan B? Skiing flats in Bulgaria? Chip shop? Extortion rackets?

Internet marketing - doesn't take that much capital either, just learning curve

I have a number of business plans that are ready for a cash injection and some additional resourcing.

in return for equity of course

[Charles Foster Kane]

Loan sharking. Just invest in a couple of Eastern European heavies and you're away.
