Retire early retire wealthy

the long version

Roly Weaver quit his 'day-job' as a Chartered Civil Engineer at the age of 50 in March 2008 - fulfilling his long standing dream 'to retire early'. He was able to do this because in 2002, along with his wife Rachel, he started investing in UK property; he bought family houses and rented them out. By March 2008, the income from his property portfolio exceeded his salary. He had become financially independent. Self taught, using his professional skills, and learning from early mistakes, he designed his own robust rules, systems and processes to become a professional and successful property invester.
