       WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF PROPERTY INVESTMENT

      In The 3+1 Plan I am offering you an answer to the great challenge that we all face at some moment in our lives. If you are like me, this can be summed up in three simple questions:

      •How can I achieve a more secure financial life for the time when I want to work less or to start retirement?

      •How can I achieve this without it taking up too much of my time?
