Probated properties or repossessions are good and if you can move quickly there are deals to be had.........
I'd like to be able to do that, but with my dodgy arm, DIY can only mean Don't Involve Yourself to me :\
Honestly, I literally struggle to change a light bulb sometimes. So I'd end up paying through the nose to have someone else carry out any work needed. But it may come to that anyway. I suppose once I'm in a place, I can just get done what I can afford as and when. Just all depends on what comes up for sale when I'm ready to buy though.
TBH, all this property buying stuff, I'll be flying completely blind with. Never done it before. I've tried to find out what I can about it, but don't really know what I'm doing :lol
And throwing a job hunt into the mix at the same time, it's all a bit :eek for me!
