I didn't budget well for all the work required on the cheap wreck he bought.

A sensible person wouldn't buy a wreck without knowing how much work and expense was actually involved.

Bought my first house in the early 90's, spent a lot of pointless money on it, should have spent it having fun and travelling the world.

It quadrupled in price so made a fortune regardless.

my advice would be to buy cash. live in a sh!te hole for a few years if you have to

investing, like some of the blokes here do is all very well, but not paying interest is a guaranteed sure-fire way of making money

if thats not possible, then move oop Norf
