Read ArticleHello Matthew, I am just wishing you the best of success with your excellent book Property 101. It is very rare that I come across a book on real estate that is in the league of other financial securties writer's.

Kind Regards, - Chris Kerr - The New Kids On The Block Pty Limited - October 2015
