Among the library of investment books promising no-fail strategies for riches, Michael Bentley's "Build a Portfolio of Four Properties from just one initial deposit", offers no guarantees or gimmicks but overflows with the wisdom at the core of all good real estate portfolio investment.
The hallmark of Bentley's philosophy is not short term buy to sell, but buy and hold, through conservative and safe long term investment. In this respect this is a book for true investors, not speculators. He provides, "in a form suitable for the laymen, guidance in adoption and execution of the Ultimate Investment Strategy" (*). This strategy is for long term investment and requires a commitment of effort and a reasonable initial deposit to get started. He sets out in a step by step guide how the investor must use discipline, research, strategy and time. Bentley coaches the investor to develop a rational plan for buying reasonably priced Australia real estate, and shows the investor exactly how to use each property to purchase the next.
