To borrow a line from Damian’s new book – the Chinese proverb – “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now”. The best time to read this book is now. Having been an avid residential and commercial property investor and advisor for many years, if you’re serious about building wealth – read this. The majority of our successful clients have included property in their investment portfolio. This is a valuable guide that covers many of the detailed practical aspects for you to build your portfolio to support your lifestyle.

Anyone who has ever heard Damian speak about property will know there are few people who have the depth of knowledge of the industry as him, and this book captures his years of experience perfectly. The different types of property investments, timing issues, cash flow management, growth, risk and tax – Damian covers all of this in a simple, easy to follow way that shows his passion for helping property investors at all levels. There is no doubt this book is a must read for anyone who wants to include property in their wealth portfolio to maximise both understanding and success.

Having read plenty of books on property investing, Collins’ pioneering, easily consumed approach to building wealth through property is as compelling a journey as Pape’s multi-million selling Barefoot Investor. It is a salient reminder that through moderate discipline, sound advice and a sustained eye on the prize, independent wealth creation via property investment is available to all.

I commend Damian on this easy to read and understand book full of good advice for aspiring home owners and investors. Damian’s tips and advice show readers how to start, continue and grow a property portfolio in all markets and conditions and a blueprint from which they can build their wealth with a carefully managed property portfolio. I know very few people in the property industry better placed than Damian to give advice on building a property portfolio. His business success is testimony to his reputation as a shrewd, knowledgeable and successful investor and I am pleased he is sharing his knowledge and advice so that others can follow this pathway to wealth building.
