I bought a copy of the latest book by Margaret Lomas (How to Achieve Property Success) and skipped through the pages. This is a compilation of 3 of her earlier books and is fully revised and updated. Noel Whittaker has written the forward.
It is divided into three sections.
1. Starting out - the basics
2. Investing fundamentals
3. The Advanced investor
With 460 pages this book is packed with lots of information and I won't hesitate to recommend this book for newbies.
I should also point out that this book contains lots of marketing for the author's company Destiny and it is irritating. And she says that buy and renovate strategy won't work well and buying distressed/deceased estates is is hard. I should say that renovation strategy does work and one can buy deals if they master how to find them. So as any with book, the readers don't have to believe everything the author recommends.
(It is said in the book that the PPOR is not a financial asset. I just don't understand this. The PPOR does give the equivalent to the rent we will be paying to rent a similar property.)
