Do you want a secure financial future that starts sooner, rather than as you're approaching retirement? By investing in multi-let properties, you can double or even triple the level of rental income generated by single letting, and realise cash flow from the start. In this book, multiple business owner and investor, Nick Fox, clearly guides you through the steps to building an HMO portfolio that delivers both on-going income and a tangible pension pot. Having been self-employed since he left school, and now with a portfolio of more than 200 properties, Nick knows what it is to start a business from scratch and make it profitable, even through a global economic crisis. "As with any business, success in property investment demands careful preparation and hard work, and there are challenges to be overcome. By sharing my HMO business model and the knowledge I've gained from experiences, good and bad, I hope I can make it easier for other investors to achieve their own success and financial freedom." Nick Fox "This is essential reading for anyone wanting to build an income-generating property portfolio - Nick really knows what he's talking about." Neil Mansell, Portfolio Owner, Entrepreneur and Author

This is the first book dedicated solely to flights out of the hood. Based on his experiences managing the Northumberland Crow Falcons, Nick Fox has pulled together the theory and practice of classical falconry in modern times. For the large falcons in the West, crow and rook hawking are the main quarry available for the Height Flight, in which both falcon and prey climb high into the sky in aerial pursuit. The book describes the type of ground needed for classical flights, the potential quarry species, the falcons and horses and their management. It covers the human element of the equation, the Members and Falconers, and the tactics used according to landscape and weather conditions to achieve the best flights. Contributions from authors in other countries highlight the differences of approach needed to cope with conditions found in other parts of the world. Far from being a dry technical manual, this book is spiced with a wealth of personal anecdotes and excerpts from hawking diaries. The illustrations and photographs combine to provide a glimpse of the falcons and people as they undertake this most difficult branch of the falconer's art.
