How I made my first million and the lessons learned. In this series Jim Parker and Richard Cook are going to take you through the steps by step approach that took Jim from homeless and unemployed in his early 20’s to retiring at 38 years old a millionaire and financially free.
This is the warts and all, laid bare story of Jim’s journey from the beginning. From his struggle with the school system, pivotal moments and key points that led to a change in direction, reprograming his mind for success, how he worked a full-time job while building a property empire as a side hustle and all the lessons learned from buying his first 30 properties including the massive mistakes and monumental victories.
Jim says, “Anyone could have done this, most weren’t prepared to pay the price. If my journey serves as a lesson to help other people get there quicker with less mistakes, it’s been worth telling the story. For some this will literally be a blueprint for success”

The shorter, darker days in January or February can make many of us feel down in the mouth.
But there’s a certain section of our society that sees winter’s long nights as a shameless window of opportunity – burglars!
So, with that in mind and with the mantra of ‘it’s better to be safe than to be sorry’, here are some tips from www.police.uk to shore up your home’s security:
The Fife housing market over the last three months is now becoming more ‘normal’ after the last couple of years of insane demand when the lockdowns started a race for space!
Even with the blackening economic doom-mongers forecasting a harsh slowdown in the British property market, the number of people buying and selling their homes is still very good for the time of year.
If the above questions sound familiar to you – you’re not alone and that’s because, according to the statistical website Statista.com, more than 365,000 people in the UK are actively thinking about moving home.
But what makes people want to up sticks to seek new pastures?
Below are six of the most common reasons people sell and buy homes in Fife.
More space – Growing families need more room. This is a crucial driver of the housing market – the upwardly mobile upsizers.
Less space – Older people downsizing from a home that’s now too big for their needs is a fast-growing section of today’s market. This has been fuelled by the cost-of-living crisis and how much it costs to heat and maintain larger homes.
Less noise – Nuisance neighbours, or to a milder extent, disagreeable people next door are another popular reason people move home.
More romance / No romance – New relationships are another common factor in people moving. The flip side is separation and divorce, meaning people need to move on.
Better opportunities – Be it a better school catchment area or proximity to work opportunities, this is another popular reason why people buy and sell homes.
Family ties – Moving closer to family, especially when young children are involved, is high on the list of what makes people move.
At Fife Properties, we’ve helped thousands of people move home successfully.
So, if you are thinking of moving for whatever reason, call us today.

It’s that time of the year after the most wonderful time of the year.
And with 2023 within touching distance, it’s time for those who enjoy making (and usually breaking) New Year resolutions to get busy with their wish lists.
Did you know that writing down your resolutions gives you a much better chance of sticking with them?
Dr Gail Matthews, a psychology professor at Dominican University in California, did a study on goal setting with 267 participants. She discovered you are 42% more likely to achieve your goals just by writing them down.
So, if you want to make some positive changes to your home in 2023, you might (or might not, it’s up to you) consider writing these seven ideas down.
Kitchen – Clean out the kitchen cupboards of all that out-of-date food and items you’ll never use.
Hallway – Organise your coats and shoes by investing in racks to store/hang them.
Storage – Maximise your storage by having a little stock check and only having one of each cleaning item.
Laundry – Use cotton laundry bags rather than laundry bins. They are often easier on the eye and more hygienic as you can wash them.
Cleaning – Make cleaning chores a little easier by having a simple cleaning kit: cloths, polish, etc., in each part of the home, especially bathrooms, toilets and kitchens.
Post – Keep up with any bills or letters that get to you via your postie. A simple designated area or rack can sort this.
General – We’ve all got a lot of ‘stuff’ nowadays but storing like with like can make our lives a lot easier. So, keep Christmas decorations labelled and stored together, group similar toys and games and have areas/storage set aside for seasonal outfits.
We were going to resolve to get teenagers to keep their rooms tidy, but that’s perhaps an over-ambitious New Year change for anyone.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2023.
