    Thought i would start again..

    Possibly leaving work in a year, and thinking to use the savings to invest and try to build on the money.

    I had looked at houses, budget would only allow for a flat to be bought, and looking at the number its more of a long term investment and the returns are low.

    Other options, i was thinking of buying a running business - chicken shop or something.


    Any one got any idea's?

    all depends how much your talking about investing,what your risk level is,wether you need to able to access the money,time period of investment etc..

    tbh this isn't really the place,speak to a good financial adviser,they can give you a much better idea+options.

    Have you thought about looking at properties outside of London and getting more for your money ?

    true...last finance advisor i spoke to just wanted my money
    I actually want to move out of London..One day...

    but yes looked at property outside London - but decided on London, as property price would go up more in London the out..

    and if buying out of London, it will cost more as i will need to get someone in the middle to manage...and more properties needed to get the same money as in London..

    + i read somewhere the government is looking to tax rental income?

    Don't know this game Sam, but I must admit I thought rental income was always taxed (in line with personal allowances and tax bands) and subject to allowances for costs such as interest and maintenance etc.

    you have to declare rent as taxable earnings,you can offset it against mortgage,upkeep etc,but thats where a good accountant comes in.

    well of course a FA wants your money,the more you invest,the more they make,but in theory,so do you.

    You could be right, 8 rounds for racing 3 days for each race and then lots of regular track days. I think 30 rears and 10 fronts might be about right so a cheque for £6000 would be welcome scooby:D

    There has to be crash damage, as we know crashing is slowness leaving the body bike and mind and trying to get to BSB pace crashing is a must:)
