Convince George Peper to sell me his flat and play out my days trying to unlock TOC

That was easy.

9A Gibson Place

Purchased in 1983:
£43,000
($65,000)


Selling:
£1.5 million
($2.35 million)

"Full resident ticket" to play all 7 courses:
$270/year (not a typo)


Seems perfect for a GCA time share!

That's an 11% geometric return, ignoring the money he spent on renos and what he received in rent in the years that he rented it out.

I think the GCA time share is a brilliant idea. Count me in. Even if you don't qualify for resident membership, just the idea of a foothold in St A's is so attractive.

And we can add this to the 2.5 million pound estate at the northern tip of Scotland that comes with a Braid golf course

Exactly.

It is difficult to see how residential property can possibly give anything like these returns over the next 30 years. I suspect that his decision to sell now is very wise. The property bubble has yet to burst in the UK...
