Product Description
When Paul Ribbons first got involved in property a guy called Greg Georgiou said to him that 95% of this business takes 2-5 years to learn. The other 5% takes you all your life to learn and that's people.So he made it his mission to study people and has spent the last 25 years devoted to understanding what it is that makes people tick. This book lets you peek into a world of his property experiences in his very unique way of hustle and jostling. Having been involved in hundreds of successful deals Paul uses anecdotes and examples, whilst writing with wit and honesty and drawing from his extensive experiences. Having such vast experience Paul has developed systems and procedures that you can use in your property business. His people skills show through to allow the reader to benefit from all his knowledge, and the systems which he has developed including: 7 stages of negotiating, 5 golden rules, 7 steps to finding deals.
About the Author
Born in Plaistow, East London, Paul began a remarkable journey. He was educated at an inner London school, but having undiagnosed dyslexia, struggled at school and eventually left without completing any of the exams.After leaving school he worked within the baking industry and always dreamt of a lifestyle he knew he could and one day would attain. When Paul reached the age of 23 he realised he had lived longer than his mother had. This realisation had a profound effect as he made a decision never to accept mediocrity and to live every day to the full. Having bought a property at this stage in his life Paul took a gamble that was to change the direction and has shaped his life beyond his dreams. He managed to "hustle" his way into estate agency. Here he was in his element and flourished, working his way up to manager and eventually being considered for an area position. Paul's people skills came through and while working he met some of what he calls his inner circle of friends - the ones you can count on one hand. Little did he know one of those friends would become so influential to the point they are still doing partnership deals today. With the pressures of divorce and the big dream of freedom, Paul became frustrated at the restrictions of working for other people and made the decision to go it alone. He left estate agency to pursue a career as an acquisition agent with a distinguished list of clients. Then on one fateful day the partnership that became the foundation of Paul's illustrious dealing career was formed. Together they have done many hundreds of transactions, making huge profits as well as some losses. Paul's philosophy still shines through; nothing is beyond any human being; you just have to want it bad enough and remember you're in the people business and never forget it.Having a great understanding of people and their needs, Paul then met Simon Zutshi who encouraged Paul to share his knowledge. So Paul embarked on a speaking tour for Simon's Property Investors Network (PIN). Paul's no-nonsense style was well received and he became in great demand. In his seminars Paul now teaches hundreds of clients how to find profitable properties via the open market. The basis of his philosophy is still about understanding people.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book on the strength of the existing reviews but I was left disappointed. The book is, in my opinion overpriced both in terms of its size and content. Unlike other great property investment type books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad where you finish the book feeling like you really have learned something useful, this book left me feeling a bit conned.
It reads like a mishmash of afew property investment books mixed with lots of self help type books that focus on negotiation skills. While the author might have made money by buying cheaply and selling on at auction, anyone in the property game knows that this is a very difficult and time consuming strategy requiring a significant deal of cash.
Also, times have changed and the book does not address the fact that buyers can see on Zoopla what you have paid for a property ( assuming that you have registered your title) and it is easy to check out the purchase price history of any auction property online either through Zoopla or directly with the Land Registry.
The author admits that his potential future buyers for his cheaply purchased properties are primarily investors at auction. This means that he firstly must buy sufficiently cheaply to sell on to a profit hungry or clueless investor or an investor susceptible to auction bidding fever to make his living. As I said above a difficult, time consuming strategy with plenty of stress thrown in. Not the kind of easy life we property people strive for.

Format:Paperback
This book is a really easy read. Paul has written just like he speaks, which is good. It is easy-going yet well-informed and very understandable.
The book is broken down into logical sections, highlighting the different areas of knowledge that are required to buy property and the techniques that should be employed, within each of those areas, to achieve your goals.
Well worth a purchase!

Format:Paperback
Over hyped and not full of relevant property investing strategies and facts relevant to todays market. The book focuses on probably the hardest and most risky way to invest in property, and does not give enough details for you to feel you can do it yourself. Seems more like a PR exercise from the author. You get what you pay for I suppose, because if I am honest I have bought many of the cheaper property books on Amazon and have left feeling like they're all just railroading you in to their hype or courses or whatever.
