Very lucky if you get 300. I think if you work for the rhight people mite get it. My part of the world I'd never get that. I've worked for people whith money end ther very cautious or tight git whith ther money. I rember working for a bloke once worth 6 million in property he took a bag of pink left over from a job to get credit on it. And he was paying me s**t money. A decent bloke would told he to take the bag away

You don't have to work particularly hard to make £300+ in a day..

What you need to do is get day rates out your head and price what the job is worth.

Next week my earnings will be..

Monday - 1 ceiling - £200+
Tuesday - wall and a ceiling - £250+
Wednesday - 2 ceilings - £300+
Thursday - 1 ceiling and a couple of walls - £250
Friday - one ceiling and a couple of walls - £250

All taken no more than 8 hours, some a lot less.

Stop thinking day rates!

If you had ten houses you would want twenty and you would also worry about losing the ten you have.
Best just being happy.

in simple terms you buy a renno project and do the work yourself

Say £120k. Skim paint do all works. Re_mortgage it as new value. £140/150k

After 1 year of rental. Re mortgage again. Pull x amount out and get another one.

you then buy 4, then 6 etc.
