I've spent the last 20 years breeding tarantulas and selling the young. More a hobby thing really but at times its paid well and helped us out when I've been made redundant a couple of times.
Just in the process of winding them up now, I've just had enough.

Anyone want a young spider?...good prices..lol

True. I go to local landlord association meetings and I am on a landlords forum. You hear of many a horror story on there. The worst was a landlord dealing with the charity Shelter. That charity supported a tenant who had got police and Council asbo,s, made the neighbours move out, trashed the place and never paid rent. It took 2 years to get her out because of Shelter.

Beats me how Shelter could protect someone one who is against the law, and society. There is a new threat which I won,t mention but all I will say is get Legal insurance in excess of £100k.

This is the minority though and most landlords I know have it ok. At the meetings you only hear of the bad stories but they are few and far between. Most of them are from the Asian landlords.
 
I hire out my 'semi pro' recording studio and vocal booth for a bit extra.
Also do voiceovers.

I ran a small finance company a few years back giving small loans to clients who paid back £10 - £20 a week. It very nearly broke me. And I don't mean in monetary terms.

do you do your own editing and mastering?
 
I am getting a very nice return on my money at the moment. I leant it to a friend who is a a very successful chap and he is paying me a monthly interest on it :-) which is very nice. He has it invested in a big project which will make him even richer :-) No luck involved he has worked hard for it :-)

I have my fingers in pies all over the place but itching to get into property but dont want a huge mortgage and ideally i would like to be able to take Jane out of work and have her work FT for me, but its only on Janes salary that we can get a mortgage :-| catch bloody 22

Yes I do.

Editings what I call fun, and although I don't profess to be a mastering engineer, I've been in studios when mastering, studied and experimented enough to get reasonable results.

Failing that I'll just provide a mix.
