How not to be a Property Developer(Comments RSS)
I'm watching some tv and finding this "How to be a Property Developer" show informative.
Mr McCausland is coming on all strong man with his pointless, after the event, so-called sodding "advice" about how the participants have screwed up. I've just watched him commentating on the admittedly poor performance by a couple of girls buying a crap property at auction. What does he expect? - they are total amateurs. He winces as they are taken for a total ride by an unethical auctioneer who takes offers "off the wall" to get them to bid up to a silly price. Okay, it makes good tv but why not tell them a few things beforehand? It seems cruel and it annoys me.
The deal must be that the participants agree that they won't get much in the way of advice. Or is it simply that they are just arrogant and don't bother doing their homework or look for advice?
Still, the good news is that we punters are so much the wiser now.
Property developer Gary McCausland follows the progress of two couples who have been given 250,000 pounds and six months to see if they can make money from buying and selling property. Will it be easy as they think to make a quick profit, or will they make some horrible - and costly - mistakes along the way?
The question, "Will it be easy as they think to make a quick profit, or will they make some horrible - and costly - mistakes along the way?" has to be rhetorical.Mr McCausland is coming on all strong man with his pointless, after the event, so-called sodding "advice" about how the participants have screwed up.
