thanks Lewis, I understand - so if I was to choose your method what would I need to do? I may be able to get funding for this but need to understand in plain english ! :blink:

thanks guys - I dont have any webspace of my own to host the files on, I was kind of thinking of a web based application like yousendit.com but something that was password protected.

Karate & Martial arts - good for fancy kicks and general fitness Judo/Wrestling/Brazilian Jui-Jitsu - good for 'real life' situations as most fights end up on the ground MMA - A bit of both of the above. More agressive and the following is getting much bigger nowadays. Checkout Sherdog.com Oh btw dont miss 'UFC 73' 9PM Bravo tonight!

Well basically I have about 5gig worth of work related files which I need to be able to put online securely so other colleagues can download them remotely - problem I have is that they are quite sensitive and I dont want the info on the public domain - is there anyway to do this guys?

what a superb view!

Pablo - dont be scared of tennants not paying rent, yes it needs to be factored in but the return vs risk is positive. Breaking even on a rental is no problem at all, I have a property where I am paying £46 per month out of my own pocket - but guess what? since I had the property (approx 2 years) the increase in property price as far out weighed the £46 per month! Yes tennants are a PITA, yes it takes up some of your time, yes sometimes they dont pay - money is seldom earned without some kind of outlay from yourself. In 5+ years of tennanted properties (touchwood) I havent ever had to take anyone to court, make sure your tennants are proffesionals, meet them personally, get an agent who does correct searches and some even guarentee rent nowadays. With the finances you have explained here it seems pretty easy to get a BTL in your situation, and it will put you in much more of a powerful buying position for your next property also (i.e. nothing to sell)

....also worth checking if its had all its recalls including the 'vanos problem fix' BMW are good at sending out recall notices so they should be ok Also worth remembering Jap cars are second rate cars compared to prestige BMW mark (awaits onlslaught) lol

yes

friend of mine has a shisha bar on Edgeware road, the whole place relies on people coming there to smoke, the guys gonna loose a fortune

Pablo I buy and sell properties on the regular and its worth noting the following: 1) You say you cant afford a 'buy to let' on your current flat - why not? 'buy to let' products are treated as business loans i.e. the mortgage calculation will not have an impact on any sepearate (residential) mortgage you get. You can put down as little as 10% deposit as long as your rental income equates (or is greater than) your mortgage monthly. Your property looks like its worth circa 110k - this means you could do a 10% BTL, dont have eleven grand to use as a deposit? Take out a long term 25 year loan for 11k, this will cost you about 90-100 pounds per month intially but the return you get from the property will be much greater and you could sell the property and pay off the loan in a few years with a significant return. If you choose to keep it longer then as rental incomes increase your tennants will end up paying for your long term loan as well as your BTL - all the time equity will be getting built up 2) Are you still in contract with your estate agent? If not sack them and get someone else on, get them on .75% commision and 2 week contract, give them 2 weeks notice the day you sign up and confirm they have qualified buyers on their books who they can get through your door. Different estate agents may have different buyers on their books - therefore its worth changing your agent. If I was you I would hang onto the flat - you will also have a much more commanding position when you are buying a property as you will effectively be a no chain buyer. Its dead easy to build a property portfolio if you play your cards right, my final word would be not to look at BTL mortgages as 'loans' instead see them as 'business prospects' good luck

LMAO! Brings a whole different meaning to 'love muscle'
