Life advice....
Hey everyone,
I'm only new to this forum/ forums in general however it's proving to help me out allot with my property hurdles. So I thought I'd test the waters and see exactly how helpful you all are with life hurdles
I'm a 25 year old kid who works abroad at sea. I make great money and get to travel for with work.. So the lifestyle is pretty amazing, We do work ridiculous hours and allot is expected of us but I'm 25 and can deal with that it and all the crazy people.
My battle is this, I'm property mad. My dream is to one day own a development company, doing deals and giving the world functional beautiful and most importantly affordable property's to enjoy.
All my money now goes towards education on the subject and small developments of my own In low coast/poor economic areas. I'm learning allot.
Financially next year I'll have my property's neutral not costing me any money/ nor making me any. I could sell up and be left with 280k after taxes.
If I stay with current job for another 3 years I'll have 200k payed off my current property's and 3 more years of self education under my belt.
Now my problem is my mistakes, I'm not making enough being out of the loop and stringing small developments together. I feel I need hands on experience that I'm just not getting abroad. The process is very straight forward to for me in the current circumstance, find online, neg via email, buy land, drawings and approvals through architects, build, hold/ sell.
I'll do a duplex without even seeing the site!
What's everyone's opinion on this matter? As I'm young should I just keep going with a job that doesn't suffice in order to one day live my dream.
Or
Simply start living my dream?
