All Topics / General Property / Books for newbies??
Hi,
Can you please recommend the best books to check out.
Im a newbie who is keen to get my feet wet but i need to read as much as possible about it all first.
Cheers.
Hola.
Personally I found that when starting out it was good to read a couple books with broad coverage of the property investment field. From there I identified my target niche (development) and started picking up some more specific texts.
In the beginner’s department I found Dolf De Roos’ ‘Real Estate Riches’ (part of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad’s Advisors series) to be a great introduction. He waves the real estate flag pretty hard and omits a lot of detail but it’s a good overview on the property investment world and is pretty easy to read. If you can’t find it in your local try online sources.
The second book I found interesting and inspirational is Australian author and speaker Dale Beaumont’s ‘Secrets of Property Millionaires Exposed.’ Sure, it’s a slightly cheesy title but it has interviews with a dozen or so successful real estate millionaires. All of them take a different approach to property investment and it’s a great eye opener in terms of the different approaches to wealth creation using property as a vehicle (buy and hold, renovate for profit, development etc).
It also helps a great deal to check out the monthly magazine Australian Property Investor – well worth a look.
In terms of general investment you simply can’t go past the all time George S Clason classic ‘The Richest Man in Babylon.’
Best of luck,
