So I have had a big setback. I have been renovating people’s properties for over 10 years. This year I decided to go in to property developing myself, as in me buying run down properties and doing 80% of the works needed then put them back on the market. Just started adding value to my first property and bang, I have a car accident and end up with a fractured arm and torn rotator cuff, so basically need surgery on my shoulder and its going to be 6 to 9 months recovery.

Has anybody had any similar setbacks? What’s your advice going forward?
