Investment Books

Im a Newbie on this forum too Investorgirl.

I havent read that book, but ive just finished Margaret Lomas latest” How to Maximise your Property Portfolio” found it very helpful for going through after tax cash flows. The parts in her book about Niche property couldnt have come at a better time as Ive just bought my 3rd IP which is very Niche.

You could look at Dolf’s website http://www.dolfderoos.com, or alternatively http://www.powwowevents.com.au also sells his stuff, robert kiyosaki’s, and john burley’s to mention a few.

Personally I found that Dolf’s other books were a bit thin for the dollars, but they had some good examples of what people have done, including himself. He has written two (I think) with Jan Somers.

A note to everyone reading this thread – Investorgirl claims to be the author of this book over at the Somersoft forum. To quote:

The thread is: http://www.somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?p=98207#post98207

While I applaud the concept of this book, I condemn the ethics of promoting it by pretending to not be the author.

It is particularly bad considering that the book is being published by a highly ethical organisation – the Australian Consumer Association!

I haven’t read this book myself & are making no comment on the content, simply on the approach taken in this thread to promote it.

Guys,

Bear in mind that I’m criticising the tactic, not the person or the book.

I’m happy to accept that this was a simple mistake by an author who wanted feedback on her work.

I understand the desire for this feedback. If you take a look at my site you’ll see my partner & I have had a number of books published ourselve – none property related at this stage

This is one of several reasons I felt so strongly that Investorgirl’s approach was wrong in the first place

Don’t confuse a single mistake with the value of the content of the work.

There’s a lot of negatives floating about on many authors, such as Robert Kiyosaki and others who have written on investing – as you can find here (http://www.johntreed.com/Reedgururating.html).

This doesn’t mean that the books won’t be valuable to you and provide you with the strategies, ideas or kick you need to get out there & do what it takes to become successful.

The feedback I’ve had on Investorgirl’s book is that it’s excellent.

I’ll certainly be looking for it next time I’m in a bookstore & deciding based on its own merits whether it’s appropriate for my (or a friends’) library.

Cheers,

Teresa,

I have your book and I really like it :o) I’m a fairly simple person, and I like things explained carefully and in plain English. Not that your book is aimed toewards simpletons, but I’m sure you know what i mean! I am really into accessibility, and your book provides that. It reminds me a bit of Jan Somers’ books actually, in its simplicity.

Best of luck with all your investing and further writing

Investorgirl,

Maybe you should throw in some free books for them to compensated. But for me I will buy it.

Kind regards
