Hi Guys,

As a newbie I was just wondering what you guys think would be a good starting book to read? What were the first books you all read and how did it help you all become investors?

Cheers for your advice people!

Hi Ems,

The Richest Man in Babylon is a great book, most other wealth creation books seem to use the same concepts, but are not nearly as interesting to read.

Rich Dad Poor Dad was the first “investing” type of book I read. The truth is that its not about investing at all, but rather changing your mindset.

This book started it all for me, my wife and some of my friends. I would love to know haw many people are now financially free, years after first picking up this book….

Oh yeah,

Specifically for property investing:

Michael Yardney’s “Grow a Multimillion Dollar Property Portfolio in Your Spare Time” is a great read. Michael is a reknown Australian developer, so all the content is local. Good Stuff….
