Property 101 Now Available to Buy

AUTHOR: Matthew Gilligan

POSTED: 08 July 2015

It's been two years of hard work, but finally my new book, Property 101, has arrived from the printers. In this book I provide a fresh look at residential property investment from an experienced investor's viewpoint. It is written in easy to understand language, includes many case studies, and explains the ins and out of successful property investment. The book concentrates on buy-to-hold investment property, with a focus on Auckland.

I wrote Property 101 because I want to help property investors minimise risk while maximising their returns, and I share what I've learnt from over 20 years as a property investor and developer. At nearly 500 pages it is packed full of information, including:

How the property cycle works, investing strategies for each stage, and why it's important to be a contrarian investor
Why not all towns are equal, and how to choose the best ones
The benefits the Auckland Unitary Plan offers to property investors
What to do to get ready to invest in property
How to find property that will make a good addition to your portfolio
The importance of a property investment plan and buying rules
How to analyse deals before you buy to ensure they meet your investing goals
How to make an offer and negotiate successfully
Ways to lower your risk, including advice on structures
Traps overseas investors need to avoid
The due diligence process
How to approach property management and renovations
Ways to avoid common mistakes
How to choose your professional team and avoid spruikers disguised as advisers

To purchase your copy go to Property 101. I hope you will find it informative and helpful.
