Probably the key to that would be an efficient and relatively rapid train(which is probably no easy feat)

Just a note on my earlier post about property--When I said I didnt do it like some investors (over leveraged) I did have mortgages,but just made sure I had a high amount of equity--(none of this 95-100% of value borrowing)

I think the whole thing would work better these days in a place more like Hamilton or somewhere out side Auckland where the prices were more affordable--unless of course there is a crash.
