Hi Everyone, as a new member of the community I thought I’d jump in to introduce myself. I’m Doug and I am an investor based in Aberdeen. I’ve built my portfolio over the last ten years to include BTLs (currently fifty bedrooms - which I think is a much better metric than number of properties since I own mostly HMOs), some SA and whatever flips I can get my hands on. I currently have a flip of a two bedroom cottage in Aberdeenshire which I will post some progress picture of in a separate post. Please don’t let my location put people off from getting in touch. I have investments in Leeds and Wolverhampton and am keen to grow my portfolio outside the NE of Scotland. As anyone who is seriously into property knows, you can never have too big a network and I’m really looking forward to seeing and learning from the journeys of fellow investors. Who knows….we might end up working together on something. Outside of property I live with my partner in Aberdeen. We have six kids between us (all grown up). I’m a keen sports fan: I watch football and am an active road cyclist. The photo is of me at the top of Mont Ventoux in France last year having made three ascents of it in a single day
