Welcome to The Lazy Persons Guide to Property Investing
Or as I say, how to get wealthy the slow and easy way. Real Estate is, and always has been a great way to make serious money, It just takes a while.
These notes are to show what is possible, and how easy it is to make working for an income, just an option. If you love your job, that’s great, keep doing it. But by investing in property, you can keep your career and build up a substantial income and asset base. This gives you freedom rather than being chained to your job. Maybe you have realized the government may not have enough money for the increasing aged population and want a better lifestyle than the pension will allow. Then as long as you still have 15 years before retirement, keep reading. If you want to retire sooner, you can, but you may need to be proactive and not so lazy.
Let’s get things straight from the start. I am not a Financial Advisor. I have no qualifications other than my personal experience. These notes are based on my own observations and as such may be of no relevance to you. Please do not take what I say as advice as this is not my intention and you should ensure due diligence and get professional advice elsewhere.
Now that’s been said, let me introduce myself. My name is Phil, I am married with two grown up children and live in Melbourne Australia. My working life has been varied but mainly self employed in three totally different industries, Food Wholesaling, Photography and Property Investing. I have written this "Lazy Persons Guide to Property Investing" because I have found it to be such an easy way to get financial independence. While there are more right ways than wrong ways to make money in Real Estate, for some reason most people never really get into it properly.
