About the Author

Brett Alegre-Wood is a property expert, property investor, opinion leader, blogger, educator and entrepreneur.

I have updated my view of this book to reflect its readership. It is clearly a title and concept that has attracted people and Brett writes in a way that clearly inspires people to want to invest in property which in current condition is clearly a leap of faith, so I applaud Brett for exciting that faith. I applaud the number of write-ups this book has had and so whilst my reservations remain, it would be petty of me to ignore the following that this book has generated, although I would be more impressed where reviewers have a breadth of comparable reads. I try in my reviews to serve the reader and not the writer. Probably half of the books I have read have followed reviews and recommendations of others and I regard reviewing as a collective teamwork of enthusiasts. There now follows my original review:

I rushed to buy this book the week it came out and looking at the reviews I am startled at how many good reviews it has. What I thought I would be buying is a cutting edge book with up to date techniques and a real grasp of the property market. It reads like a 2004 book. Buying off plan and developer properties is a very lazy and turnkey strategy and the author invites you to make even less effort and let him take care of all that for you. There are a lot of crooks ( not an accusation I am aiming at the author) past and present who will offer you a lazy route to riches. I have seen both fortunes made and personal despair over bad purchases (more common) and whilst the author is honest enough to admit an off plan purchase that loses money but will come good someday, I could list 4 genuine trustworthy guides and 3 heartless bandits who also offer advice. The book starts with a flawed 3 property strategy and doesn't take long to tell you there is a better way, ie more properties and interest only rather than owning 3 properties outright. ie the author shamelessly uses a catchy strategy to sell the book. If you are really serious about property you need more knowledge, experience and training than this book offers. Go carefully.

Format:Paperback
this book is amazing, for such a small book there is soo much information in here, statistics, facts and figures, gameplans and achievable goals. The best property developers handbook out there, i should know i have bought at least 6 others, but this really is the most easy to read and terminology is broken down into a language you can digest. Also Brett re-iterates what he tells you a few times so it sinks in.
Basically you first ned a healthy deposit and then you need to read this book and maybe 2 others to educate yourself before you take the plunge.

Awful, just awful 9 April 2012
By Richard
Format:Paperback
This book is just terrible. It is to books what Plan 9 from Outer Space was to films. Where do I start, well how about with the last page which is signed by the author... I mean talk about Derek Trotter's guide to property investment or what?! The wife and I had a good laugh at when it referred to property investment in 'Britain and Wales' and the almost comical list of reasons you might want to become a property investor which included having a massage at home. However, it's the constant stream of catchphrases like 3+1, Set and Forget, 1, 2, Stop (or something like that) which always appear in bold and make it feel more like your watching an infomercial for the 'Abdominizer 3000' than reading a book about property investing.

The book also suggests you buy off-plan through a property investment club (the author runs one coincidently, surprise, surprise) and basically spend no time thinking about buying or managing your portfolio. This might have flown in 2006 but to be honest I don't think it's the no-brainer it was and a lot of people got their finger burnt like this in 2008.
