Product Description

Product Description
Wouldn't it be great if you could go into property developing knowing all the pitfalls in advance and avoid the common errors made by most first time property developers. Gary's television work continually proves to him how little the wider public actually know about his trade - despite its high profile - and he is fed up of seeing solicitors, agents and builders pull the wool over people's eyes. This passionate and opinionated guide will help first timers avoid costly mistakes by arming them with insider advice and knowledge. Turning the property sections in the bookshops upside down, "Make a Million From Property" is upfront, candid, jargon-free and utterly devoid of bullshit - packed with the concrete facts from which readers can learn exactly how the best deals are brokered and broken.

From the Back Cover
`Apart from winning the lottery there are very few ways of creating huge wealth quite like property...but a word of caution, you need to know exactly what your doing because its not for the faint hearted!'

In this passionate and opinionated book property guru and television presenter Gary McCausland presents an insider's guide to property development and shows how you can make a million from bricks and mortar whatever the housing market conditions. Packed with concrete facts and examples from his own successful business McCausland explains exactly how the best deals are brokered and broken - arming readers with all the essential information they need to make it in the cut and thrust world of property development.

2.0 out of 5 stars How to make money from re-publishing a book, 30 Jan 2009
By Pelagea (London, UK) - See all my reviews
It's interesting that the book's title was changed for the 2009 edition from "How to Make a Million..." to "How to Make Money..." I'm not sure whether this means that the author thinks that a million is too optimistic or too modest in the current climate.

I have several problems with this book:

1. It's really unhelpful that the purpose of the book is only clearly spelled out on page 164: this book is about becoming a property developer, not a landlord. It would have been helpful if people knew this before actually buying it, since this is not at all obvious.

2. Mr. McCausland rightly says that finding the right deal at the right price when you buy is what makes you most of the money. Unfortunately, other than "find the worst house in the best street" I did not find any useful tips as to how to do this. Which is disappointing given that this is the most important part of the business.

3. I find it amusing when property enthusiasts try to convince you that what happens in the wider market doesn't matter, all depends on how well you execute your particular deals. On a different page Mr. McCausland does admit, "I've had a really tough year", but he gives no further details what that means. This is curious, given that there are plenty of personal examples throughout the book, but not from the past year, which would be most relevant and most useful for prospective investors today. But this is understandable: the book (together with the initial assertion that the wider market doesn't matter) was initially written before the current crisis, so why spoil it with some unhelpful examples. What if it doesn't sell then?

I would have not given it even two stars, but I have to accept that I did learn some useful information from it. There is just not enough of it to justify buying this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last!, 28 Mar 2008
By Zab (UK) - See all my reviews
...a great fantastic property book with all the info needed to dabble in the business. Gary's bottom line of 'adding value' is a wake up call to those who think property developing is easy. His helpful insights, with obvious hands on experience, is invaluable. I'm buying a couple of more copies for friends as pressies its that good!

5.0 out of 5 stars Now is the time..., 2 Jun 2008
By Michael J. P. Smith (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There's an old saying: always buy when there's there's blood on the streets. The theory is that if you go into an area after there's been a war or a disaster, you can pick up huge bargains. Anyone who invested in Croatia in the mid 90s will vouch for how effective this tactic csn be. So this book by Gary McCausland is a timely reminder that there is still plenty of opportunity to make money from the UK property market. The rapid decline in prices will lead to nervousness and panic selling, or at least to the presence of many juicy bargains for the astute investor with the skill to pick and choose the right flats/houses/land. This book gives a pretty comprehensive run down of the skills you'll need to do well, and - more importantly - the expensive mistakes to avoid. I recommend it.
