Lots of forumites share inspiring stories of achieving things faster than they ever anticipated (5 properties in 2 years). Great to read about those successes! But I'm in the opposite situation. I anticipated buying my second property within 18 months of my first (12 if I am honest!) because I know others have achieved this and more!
Building equity is hard going on a pretty average income (found there's a ceiling on what I can forgo day to day)...... although I have the concept of what is needed to build a portfolio my $dollars$ don't allow me to move beyond just the ppor I'm paying on my own............would love to hear from others with the willingness and focus but kneecapped by their income and can't move up yet (yet!)
Surely I am not the only one?
Love to hear from those in a similar situation.... this thread is to give each other support (or pm if you prefer).
