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
