Book Recommendation for Beginners

Hey All, 

I've been meaning to mention this one for a long time. I read this about 15 years ago for the first time and loved it. It's an Australian book (you can get it on Amazon), so you don't hear much about it here. I was given it by a highly successful mentor (developer, Mobile Home Parks on massive scale) as he thought it was a great into for me. Having rear Rich Dad Poor Dad I quickly realized this was really a book about the execution of that philosophy approach. The guy explains how he left his job and went about stacking a bunch of properties. 

These days there are a lot of good books available such as those written by the BP authors. You'll see so many of the themes we see in those books in this book, but it's a personalized account of how it was all applied. You'll learn a few things, and it's a decent story. 

There is also a follow up book written a few years later as he expands. Australia is an insanely expensive market these days the these books span it's explosion from somewhat affordable to off the charts expensive (the whole country is like SFO). 

The Title is 0-130 Properties in 3.5 Years Author: Steve McKnight. 

I'd recommend it if you're just getting started.
