Think house prices are through the roof? We recently came across this poem about investing in property, and thought you might find it interesting. Once you have read it, and only then, take a look at the date of first publication. Makes you think!   

“PROPERTY INFLATION”

I hesitate to make a list

Of all the countless deals I’ve missed.

Bonanzas that were in my grip

I watched through my fingers slip.

The windfalls that I should have caught

Were lost, because I over-thought.

I thought of this, I thought of that 

I could have sworn I smelled a rat;

And whilst I thought things over twice

Another grabbed them at the price.  

It always seems I hesitate

Then make my mind up much too late

A very cautious man am I
