Real World Real Estate

Live your dream life

Is your retirement plan to be self-funded and not rely on a government-funded pension?

Do you think it’s too hard to enter the property investment market?

Do you want true financial freedom?

If you answered “yes” to any or all of these questions, you need to read this book.

The great Australian dream has always been to own our own home. But over the last few years the dream has shifted. Now we want to live life on our terms and find true financial freedom that will allow us to spend more time with family, friends, and on the things we love.

Is this new dream just fiction? No, it is possible – and veteran property investor, buyer’s agent and sales agent Simon Read explains how to do just that in Real World Real Estate.

This book provides a tried-and-proven purchasing guide for someone with limited or no real estate experience. With a step-by-step process Simon shows you how to successfully purchase residential property that will yield financially freeing results that could have you retiring early. You’ll learn about:

• passive income
• the buying process
• finding the right people to help you on your real estate journey
• the ‘rentvesting’ strategy
• the 7 deadly sins of property investment
• how to pay off your mortgage in half the time.

Imagine living life on your own terms, and breaking the daily grind to claim true freedom.
