Bright New View from An Amateur Property Investor..., 22 Jul 2002
I've read business and personal development books since I was around 16 (I'm 38 now - just last week). This is the most personally affecting business book I've ever read. The main reason for that is the subject - investing in property.This is something that I've done since my mid twenties, and I have to admit I've done very well out of it. Or so I thought. I now deeply regret all six (only six!) of those undervalued residential properties that I so carefully sniffed out and bought, waved my magic makeover wand over, and then sold on for profit. And the only part of it I regret is the fact that I SOLD them. I will probably never sell one again. If I had read this book then, I would be wealthier to the tune of well over a million pounds today. (Half a million pounds of capital uplift on the properties I owned would have been absolutely guaranteed... and the rest I can only speculate. The positive cash flows on all those properties would have been used to buy loads of other properties! Who can say how many I could have added to my portfolio over that time?) Anyway, I'm not bitter. Just better informed. I'll be carrying on investing in property for profit. I'll be doing it an ENTIRELY different way now. I'll be following Dolf's methods to the letter. Starting now. If you are involved (or interested) in property development, buy this book. ... and good luck! (not that you'll need it)
