Last time I checked, both Associations still "approve" that lease. http://web.offcampuspartners.com/files/user/107026...Please note that I didn't cross reference this version with the version I have.

I quite enjoy what I do, but I am attempting to use real-estate as a secondary income or at the very least reducing my monthly expenditures. 

Unfortunately, I don't.Ideally there would be some sort of sandbox space, like a subforum or thread that each user has, that they are the boss and dictator of - the way @Mindy Jensen is dictator controller of the forums writ large.

is there more investors buying in the area or home users?

so much so that many contractors use red wood 2x4's as plates for walls being installed directly on concrete, particularly if the concrete is directly on the ground or in a basement. 

I would love to use real estate investing to make anywhere between £1000 - £2000 a month as i also want to use my time to focus on my social media agency.

Ok...I get it...apartment investing is THE best way to use real estate to escape the rat race in a short-ish period of time.

Thank you all for the warm welcome, I am really looking forward to growing my investing and have already found Bigger Pockets and its users to be an excellent resource.

Some of these impact the rent your property can command. 

BP users say "check local suppliers" but it seems we end up at the big box stores every time.
