Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

You may be surprised to learn that according to this new book by property experts Ben Kingsley and Bryce Holdaway, you don't need to accumulate a 10+ property portfolio to create a $2,000 passive income in your retirement. Nor will you need to spend more than 10 hours a week managing your portfolio when you have everything in place. Sound easy? Well, that's why it's the Armchair guide.

Of course, when you've started your early retirement and are enjoying this level of passive income, you'll probably spend your time travelling, having fun with family and friends, and enjoying your sports and hobbies rather than sitting in your armchair!

The Armchair Guide to Property Investing is a comprehensive book. Readers are given all the fundamentals about investing, money, and risk management, as well as the tools to get them started in the first two parts of the book. In the third and final part, the authors share the 18 investment strategies that, in their vast experience, have worked for thousands of their clientsβ€”and themselvesβ€”over the years.

The last chapter discloses six case studies where you will discover how six very different investorsβ€”a young single, a couple who started investing early, a couple who left it a bit late (luckily it's rarely too late), a single parent, and a couple with no kidsβ€”all built portfolios which will deliver $2,000 income in their retirement. And it's written in plain English, in a friendly style that makes it an easy book to read.
