5 years' savings would buy a reasonably nice house eh. I tend to try and think a little differently though, in that when house prices settle down a bit then try to buy (cheaper) investment property every 2 or 3 years - in cash. That way, in about 10 years' time you could have 5 freehold investment properties hopefully generating around £3k income a month.Originally posted by Diver View PostAll IT contractors earn enough to save cash for a house in 5 years
