My name is Vicki and I am often called The Property Mermaid because of my dual passions of scuba diving and buying the stinky houses that provide the cash flow to give me the lifestyle I love. I don’t have to work – I do because I love it – I enjoy everyday. Over the last two years I have have written two book; one about Using Other People’s Money and my new book called Make More Money from Property, from investor thinking to a business mindset.

Scuba diving is like investing in property, especially if you are on a dive cruise, you will need exceptional communications, manage your resources (kit, time and energy) and the ability to adapt to change. This is one of a number blogs on one of my favourite subjects, scuba diving. There is something so relaxing about being totally weightless in warm water listening only to the sounds of your own breathing as the bubbles pass by your ears. Read the rest of this entry
