A Surfer's Guide to Property Investing

Since the first edition of A Surfer s Guide to Property Investing was released in 2019, the continued resilience of property as an asset class has been demonstrated despite a global pandemic and an increased cost to borrow money. The past five years have taught many of us (including the author) some important real-life lessons about investing. It s for these reasons that property buyer s agent, qualified property investment adviser and developer Paul Glossop felt it crucial to update and expand upon his original book.

Subtitled The Next Wave, this second edition weaves new information into the text to elevate its important teachings. There s an entirely new chapter where Paul dissects the impact of the pandemic and its aftermath, and how the economy and investor sentiment responded.

The book also covers:

Mastering the investor mindset

Budgeting and strategy

Learning and groundwork

Picking a location

Understanding investment options: renovating; house and land; commercial property

The secret to building long-term wealth

Exit strategies

'If you are an aspiring or seasoned property investor, you must read this book from cover to cover. Paul replaces confusion with confidence in all facets of investing in property and how to set your own life goals. It's no surprise that Paul has earned the trust of his clients and built a sterling reputation in his industry.'

Aaron Christie-David, Managing Director, Atelier Wealth

'Paul practises what he preaches and shows that his pragmatic approach can be used by all investors of all levels. Whether you are a time-poor professional or lack the confidence and knowledge to invest, this book proves it can be done - simply saying "it's too hard" is not the right approach. Paul shares how the mind is your asset and getting your mindset right is the start to building a successful portfolio. Further leveraging from professionals and not just the bank resonates the strategic and realistic way to enhance results and to ensure overall success with your property portfolio and happiness.'

Jeremy Iannuzzelli, Partner, Keshab Chartered Accountants

'This book is an essential guide for any property investor. It covers all the fundamentals of property investing and the life skills you need to ride the wave of your life.'

Ross Le Quesne, Mortgage Broker, Aussie - Parramatta and Rouse Hill

'A beautiful, passionate and personal journey from Paul, with years of wisdom and practical guidance... from beginning to sophisticated investors, residential to commercial properties, working through the mindset to budget, to compliance, to legal, to growth and exit strategies, micro and macro determinants - the book is full of tips and real-life balanced current examples. I strongly recommend this as a tangible and motivational book for people in any stage of their lives!'

Alex Veljancevski, Principal Eventus Financial

Paul Glossop initially studied architecture before transferring his focus to education. He started working as a teacher in one of the roughest, toughest schools in the UK. A series of fortunate events brought him back to Sydney where, over ten years investing in property, Paul amassed a portfolio focused on capital growth, development opportunities and cash flow. The success of his portfolio gave Paul the financial freedom to take a calculated risk to walk away from a successful corporate career and start something that he was truly passionate about: helping his family and others change their lives through investing in property.

As well as surfing, Paul enjoys spending time with his family and friends and working with a wide range of property investors to build their property portfolios and achieve their financial

and life goals.
