    Lol love the hints!

    Ok this is not sounding like a very good plan... Back to the drawing board :(

    There must be a way that I can something... Need a business idea that I can start small.... Thank you all for the replies and helpful comments :)

    Get some money, buy things cheap and sell them not so cheap. You aren't going to win the property game without major funding.

    Sorry
  • What was your degree in? Can't you make money doing something related to the thing you've just spent 3-4 years studying?

    Aerospace engineering with pilot studies.... No experience = no jobs :(

    A friend of mine is an ATPL who spends his Summers flying to popular holiday destinations and his Winters doing FEA work, of which there appears to be plenty.

    Yes, experience essential, perhaps you could beg/steal/borrow some work experience at a small engineering firm and whilst you're on the airfield pick up some flying hours - maybe even get your FI rating as a means to getting free time towards a CPL/ATPL?

    As others have said, this property malarkey needs £££s behind you, not in front...

    Not necessarily agreeing with it... But your idea is possible
