I've had to update this section so many times due to, well, all kinds of crap. I swear, each version of this page just gets further and further away from the initial objective- 'to explain who I am, and what this site is about'. To make things easier for you people, I'm just going to answer a few questions that people have asked me.
Who are you?
Well, I'm just a foul-mouthed individual that occasionally has too much time to spare. I had a keen interest in property investment without actually having any property investment experience, so I decided to make things happen.
How old are you?
Who cares? But since you ask, i'd probably be called a peadophile if I slept with a 16yr old.
What's your full-time profession?
To be cool like Fronzy.
You come across as a cocky little shit..
That's not really a question. But yeah, I can see where you're coming from.
You look homosexual. Are you homosexual?
That has nothing to do with anything, unless you're male and interested. I'm not homosexual, nor am I homophobic. But if you're rich, I won't descriminate against your penis.
What's this site all about?
This site started off as a "property investment project"- the plan was to invest into property and become a landlord. I knew nothing about property investment (nothing, nada,siltch). The point of this website was to document my every step, so people (bored people) could read about my transition from clueless-property-idiot to landlord. I completed that task on the 2nd of March 2007 (I rock), so I am now officially a landlord. You can read all about that junk in my Property Diary blog category.
So, what now?
You see, I never really thought this project through properly, at least not the 'online' side of things, because I never even considered what I would do after I completed the project. As a solution, I'm going to be indulging myself in other property related investments, and I'll also be documenting about them on this website. Along aside my upcoming projects, i'll continue to write about my current experiences as a landlord; the perks, the misfortunes, the tears, and the smiles.
Why property?
I know many may disagree, but I think property is a low risk investment with high rewards (if you do it right). I heard somewhere (God knows where) that 20% of the UK rich list made their wealth with Property Investment. I like the sound of that (even if it's not true)! Basically...IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!
What if there's a property crash? There is going to be one, ya' know?
I'm in property investment for the longterm, not short-term, you ass. I'm using property as a means to secure my furture. A crash will only hinder the short-term investor (i'm not saying there will or will not be a crash). If you can be bothered, you can read more about My Property Investment Strategy.
What's so special about your site compared to other property sites?
Nothing at all, to be honest. The only niche I have is that I have documented my "real story", from property amateur to landlord. I've been to a lot of financial and property related websites, and I swear they're just crammed with technical jargon that no one really ever understands. Why do they do that? Because they want to sound like professionals (or probably because they are). I try to keep things real, in the sense that any normal, average person can understand what i'm saying. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but i've picked up a few useful things along the way, and this is where I release.
There are a lot of people laughing at Property Investors right now because of the expected crash. Does that bother you?
Fuck no. Most of the people complaining are old and bitter. I'm young, I have positive equity, I have a plan!! In 10 years time i'll still be young, but I'll also be rich. They'll be on their knees sucking my dick because generous people like me are paying their state pension.
You've made a few spelling mistakes, are you stupid?
Fuck you.
A lot.
Fucker.
Only joking, but seriously, don't disrespect me again. I'm pretty casual when I write, so I make constant mistakes in gramer and the problem is I don't care...
What do you want from me (YOU, the readers)?
This site is based on a blog format, and blogs are about networking. I want more Fonzies that are interested in property and/or financial investment to step forward and start getting involved- join my forum, start responding to blog entries, start emailing..etc.
That's all for now, kids. If you would like to know anything else, just hit me up by filling in the contact form on the contact page (duh)!
Kind regards,
The Property Amateur.
