Climbing the Property Ladder
Olly Newland
Veteran investor and best-selling author Olly Newland's book Climbing the Property Ladder shares valuable lessons he's learned over 45 years as a property investor ... and some horror stories.
This book covers some of Olly's amazing adventures as the purchaser, landlord, or vendor in a property deal or as a consultant for others.
The stories have the common threads of real estate and property investment and the common human failings of greed, fear, naivety, carelessness and envy. Some have happy endings, some do not. Many are about raw human emotion -- property just happens to be involved along the way.
More Details
In these pages you will read about those who may have started with nothing and made literally millions. You will read about the crooks, cheats and downright criminals who are attracted to big money as moths to a flame.
In his usual take-no-prisoners entertaining style, Olly shares valuable lessons, rules and insights -- and some breathtaking true stories about how property deals have changed people's lives.
"Every story in this book is true. I should know -- I was involved in all of them in one way or another. Only the details have been changed to save needless embarrassment to the innocent (not to mention lawsuits)."

This passionate and opinionated guide will help first timers avoid costly mistakes by arming them with insider advice and knowledge. Turning the property sections in the bookshops upside down, How to Make Money From Property is upfront, candid, jargon-free and utterly devoid of bull - packed with the concrete facts from which readers can learn exactly how the best deals are brokered and broken.
