I was in BBOX a few years ago. A nice dull share with good dividends and lots of opportunities for rights issues at a discount.
I've thought about going into property directly, but it does tie up your capital for much longer periods than the stock market.
You also have to pay much higher fees and since the recent change to the landlord tax rates some seem to have dropped out.
Add to that you need to invest to maintain the property.
Not trying to put you off. But my daughters child trust fund increased by 80% in less than 2 year in leggs Japan fund.
No estate agents, no tenants, no lawyers.
What if you invest in property today and the market goes down 30% next year can you hold to recover the losses.
As with all investments DYOR.
