He usually only has 2 weeks away a year & if I told him he had to go to the same place every year, he'd shoot me. In fact that was one of his arguments - that if it didn't rent, he'd be "obliged" to holiday there each year. So I have to prove investment potential all the way.  |
Ok, so rent it out to friends and family during the 12 weeks that are yours. The rental you get from that will pay for you to go on holiday elsewhere. Bottom line is, this is a win win situation really, at the end of the day you have a property which will be your capital, even if it did prove difficult to re-sell in the future, you're not losing anything by sitting back and collecting the rental! £5k to £6k per year is some interest rate not to be sniffed at, we've had £50k sat in high interest investment accounts for almost 5 years now and hardly made a bean!
In another 6 years he'll be ready for a new motor, guarantee it LOL 
If that doesn't work, try a nice candle lit romantic dinner and a massive steak (hopefully he's not vegetarian!)
Pleased you're enjoying the posts LSab
