Publisher's Summary

Fully updated for 2023!

Prices are hitting all-time highs, COVID didn't have the negative effect on the market that was widely predicted, and you're convinced that property could be your key to financial freedom.

And it could. But where do you start?

Do you invest near where you live, or wherever yields are best? Do you rent to families, or professionals, or students? Should you be trawling through Rightmove or lurking at property auctions?

This short audiobook, read by the author, covers the big questions you should be asking yourself before you so much as glance at an estate agent's window. It contains a jargon-free explanation of basic investment principles, summaries of the major post-crunch investment strategies, and advice on developing a mindset that will support your long-term success.

You'll learn:

  • How to pick an investment strategy that matches your skills and goals
  • The only three calculations you need to know to size up any deal
  • An overview of every major investment approach, from the most boring to the probably-not-a-good-idea-but-here-you-go-anyway
  • How to (safely and sustainably) stretch a limited pot of cash to build whatever size portfolio you want

...although you will need to endure some pretty shocking jokes along the way. Sorry about that.

Perfect Intro

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to anyone starting out in property. Keeping jargon to an absolute minimum, this book does a fantastic job of not only explaining the basics of property investment in general but also explores, compares and contrasts different investment strategies. A perfect intro.

Informative, interesting, absorbing

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed the structure of the audiobook. Ideal for beginners getting into property investment.

What does Rob Dix bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

You get a fantastic feeling of emphasis on his key take-away's.

Any additional comments?

A well written and well read audio-book. Rob is clearly passionate about property investment and it shows. Well worth the 5*s

Perfect Beginner Intro

Would you try another book written by Rob Dix or narrated by Rob Dix?

I would read another book by Rob Dix. however I should have just taken the title at face value. This book is for beginners. As someone who already does property investments, this was a waste of my time. I enjoyed his previous book more.

What will your next listen be?

Superforcasting

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Rob Dix?

Rob is fine

Perfect for complete beginners

I'm at the very beginning of my property journey and have found lots of videos and articles that claim to be for beginners but assume a certain level of knowledge already. This book assumes you know nothing, which is exactly what I needed, and I feel much clearer on how to continue my journey.

Good starting point

This book has been a good starting point to hear the different strategies, things to take into account etc. It might not be the most exciting listen but it’s educational and tells you what you need to know before making steps into property

Very useful for beginners in the British market

Would you listen to Property Investment for Beginners again? Why?

No. I was looking for a book for the US market, but the information about this book didn't have any information about its country of focus.

Have you listened to any of Rob Dix’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No

Any additional comments?

This books seems like a great book for absolute beginners especially around the UK market. If you have already done a little investment or are looking for property outside of the UK, look elsewhere.
