The 2-bed box with garage I bought in 1983 should now cost £109K. However, similar homes are currenty advertised at £365K, usually without garages. How the heck would a newly promoted single aircrew Flt Lt, let alone a married airman (or whatever the latest woke word is) afford that??
Work for it !
So, a single Flt Lt teams up with his mate, or two, buys a dero, spends their otherwise spare tine refurbishing it, learns DIY as they go, sells for a profit and repeats and moves on!
Been there, done that!
