A Surfer's Guide to Property Investing: How to achieve your financial goals

Paul Glossop believes the mark of financial success isn't about getting bigger, better, faster or more. To him, success is freedom - freedom to spend more time with his family, or giving back to his community, or as you may have guessed from the title of this book, just more time to go surfing. Paul took a calculated risk when he walked away from a successful corporate career to start something that he was truly and holistically passionate about: helping his family and others - and now readers of this book - change their lives through investing in property. Paul's approach is quite simple and straightforward. You need the right mindset to start off with, to surround yourself with the right team to support you and then you need to educate yourself. And this is where this book comes in. In plain-English, Paul will teach you how to: * find the best locations to invest * understand different investment types * renovate for profit * develop property * invest in commercial property *build long-term wealth * plan your exit strategy. Paul started his working life as a teacher, working in one of the roughest, toughest schools in the UK. A series of fortunate events brought him back to his home city of Sydney where he embarked upon a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry. A life-long learner, Paul taught himself about property investing. Once he'd landed that first piece of real estate, he was hooked. He'd found his passion in property. Fast-forward 10 years and Paul has acquired 17 properties worth almost $9 million.
