The Armchair Guide to Property Investing: How to retire on $2,000 a week

by Ben Kingsley, Bryce Holdaway

You may be surprised to learn that according to property experts Ben Kingsley and Bryce Holdaway, you don’t need to accumulate a 10+ property portfolio to create a $2,000 passive income in your retirement. And you’ll only need to spend approximately 10 hours per property a year managing your portfolio when you have everything in place. Sound easy? Well that’s why it’s the ‘armchair’ guide.  The Armchair Guide to Property Investing  is a comprehensive guide to the fundamentals of money management, risk assessment, and picking a winning property that gives readers a full toolkit to be a successful property investor. The authors also share 18 investment strategies that in their vast experience have worked for hundreds of their clients – and themselves – over the years. There are  insightful case studies where you will discover how six very different investors – a young single, a couple who started investing early, a couple who left it a bit late, a single parent and a couple with no kids – all built portfolios which will deliver $2,000 a week in retirement income!

Some good advice and case studies on using property to achieve a comfortable, preferably early retirement. The information is pretty broad tho and I can see it leads the reader into using their property services, which is generally not a bad thing. Seeking professional property can be beneficial. If you are expecting a step by step guide, including structuring of loans, this book is not that.

Fantastic clear guide with great examples

The book builds the knowledge step by step, and talk about specific strategies and case studies. Definitely enjoyed it and looking forward to put into practice

all in all good book, I appreciate how they laid everything out and broke it down. I don't really understand though why they haven't updated the numbers in it too reflect more recent pricing as it is becoming out dated.

Generally good advice. However, take the case studies with a grain of salt as the numbers area bit dated.

Great Australian resource

Some good advice

If you totally new to the idea of investing then worth a read. If not I don’t think you will get a huge amount out of this.
