Reply to: Biggest Mortgage

Bought my dwelling back in 1991 from savings from contracting assignments, since then its tripled in value.

So no mortgage, just wine women and song.

Time to flog the BTL?

[oxtailsoup]

£215k on family home (worth about £350k)
£210k on BTL apartment worth about £250k
£0 on villa in Spain worth about £180k (increased family home mortgage to buy it 3 years ago).
£0 on apartment in Spain worth about £75k paid for from savings.


New car and new kitchen has just pretty much wiped out any remaining savings bar the 15k I always keep for a rainy day.

Will start to build the savings back up again now and take a break from this investment lark!

6 bedrooms is kind of a limitation.

Just suck up to the walls of your tank!

"6 bedrooms is kind of a limitation." - I agree, but the gate house is the gate house. The Unicorns have free run of the main house, 30 of them in all and they all like their own rooms - but what can you do?

Whats a mortgage?

I did owe 450k on two BTL properties and my main property about 24 months ago but sold the two btl and paid my mortgage off.

I may take one out in a little while to get a bigger house. As baby has come along and friends/family keep staying then 6 bedrooms isnt enough.

Working from home and completing my work in about 30 mins explains that I'm afraid.

Ho hum, time for the next invoice.

Huh, huh, huh, huh, huhhhh!

You complete your day's work in 30 minutes do you?

Remind me, what is it you do?

No I just do a bit of basic HTML and sometimes a bit of simple scripting. That's about my limit.

Thought so, that explains why you can spend 8 hours a day on here.

Is that what you do, DP, Excel Spreadsheets?

So we're talking a lot of XL spreadsheets to pay that one off?

...you have no idea....

though with a suitably clever DSUM I have calculated it to within 5 decimal places.
