The 10 Best Property Investing Books for Positive Cash Flow Investors

I have compiled a list of some of the best property investing books for Australians looking to become financially free through real estate. Most of these books are slanted towards positive cash flow property as their chosen investment strategy.

I truly believe that there is no better investment that you can make than to invest in your own education. It has been my curiosity and thirst for knowledge that has led me to learn as much as I can about property.

Books are one of the best ways to learn about investing in property is through books. They go into lengthly detail but cost a fraction of the price of a seminar ($30 vs $3,000).

The best thing is that you only need to learn one thing from the book for it to pay for itself 1,000 times over.

Each of these books has a convenient link where you can buy it from Fishpond.com.au. Fishpond is like an Australian version of Amazon. If you want you can go into a book store but you will almost certainly need to get them to order the book for you. I find it more convenient to simply order online and get it shipped to me, it almost always works out cheaper too!

All product links in the post are affiliate links. It doesn’t cost you anything extra but a small percentage goes to keeping the free content on Positive Property Australia coming out.

Here is my list of 30 great property investing books. If you are keen to generate passive income through positive gearing then this list is perfect for you.

1. 0-130 Properties in 3.5 Years by Steve McKnight

0-130-properties-in-3.5years-bookThis is the book that first got me hooked on positive cash flow property. I always knew I loved property and wanted to invest in property but as a 16 year old I saw no feasible way that I could ever afford it.

I was in an airport lounge about to go on a holiday and I got my parents to buy me this book and IT CHANGED MY WORLD!

This book details the journey Steve and his business partner’s journey from owning 0 properties to (as you guessed it) over 130 properties in such a short time period. The book is also jammed packed with practical tips for regular investors like you and me.

2. CashFlow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki

cashflow-quadrant-audiobook

Although technically not a property investment book this is a MUST read for anyone considering investing in positive cash flow property.

I believe the most important thing that people miss when it comes to investing is setting financial goals. Most people don’t understand how money works enough to set goals that will improve their life.

CashFlow Quadrant will reach you how money works and the 4 ways people make money – Employment, Self Employment, Businesses and Investments. If you want to be rich you better start making more money in the Businesses and Investments section.

This book will serve you will not just for investing in property but any investments you make.

3. How To Create an Income For Life by Margaret Lomas

How To Create an Income for Life by Margaret Lomas Book ReviewMargaret Lomas is one of the leading teachers and trainers when it comes to positive cash flow property. I doubt there is any investor who has written as many books as Margaret Lomas and she also writes articles for the most popular property magazines in Australia.

This book offers a practical guide to safely investing in positive cash flow property and provides an array of tips and tricks on everything from borrowing to researching your market.

One of her latest books and definitely one of her greatest also.

4. From 0-Financial Freedom: How to Do It Today by Steve McKnight

From 0 to Financial Freedom by Steve Mcknight Book ReviewWe all know that what worked 10-15 years ago won’t necessarily work today. This is true for property as it is for any investments. Just because Microsoft was dominating the computer marketing 15 years ago doesn’t mean they continue to dominate as they did today.

So as time changes we need to change our strategies.

The goal stays the same – for most of us that is financial freedom – but the way we achieve that goal sometimes has to be altered.

Steve McKnight understands this and that is why he created this new book. This book details Steve’s new 2 step process to retiring sooner and retiring richer.

5. 7 Steps to Accelerated Wealth by John Fitzgerald

7-steps-to-accelerated-wealth-by-john-fitzgerald-bookThis book was given to me by Rohan Dredge, who was a pastor at the church I was attending and a successful property investor himself.

I asked him to mentor me in this area and the first thing he said was to read this book.

This book details a very effective strategy to generate wealth from investing in property. It is hard for any one book to cover every aspect of investing in property, and I found this book to lack in some of the practical ‘how to’ I was craving at the time.

But I strongly believe that understanding multiple investment strategies before choosing which one is best for you is an important step for every investor to take.

This book details a neutral gearing and equity strategy that has proven very effective for many. Well worth the read.
