Project 2- Reducing My Mortgage

I’m proud of this category because it contains the blog posts to my second documented property investment project. I go through every step I took to raise 15k, carrying with me the intentions of buying another buy-to-let investment.

However, due to the uncertain condition of the property market and the lack of desirable properties available during the time, I ended up investing the money in reducing my interest-only mortgage and converting it into a repayment mortgage. It’s the best decision I ever made.
