 | "Wink & Growth Rich", Roger Hamilton, 2002
Very easy reading about a young boy who is sent to fetch a bucket of water from the well of wealth and the journal where he meets various people who impact wisdom and insight. I highly recommend reading this book.
The keys are in a story behind the story: A lesson behind the lesson. That means to find the keys, you need to become better at seeing. What you see will always be what you get. Each time you read the book, you will see a little better until, one by one, you take the keys out and use them to unlock the doors to your wealth.

 | "The Truth About Residential Property Investing", Duncan Balmer 2004
Here's a refreshing change! A book which demonstrates that all the alleged tax benefits of property investment are either irrelevant or compete garbage, and that, in most cases, the tenant does not pay the mortgage.
Residential property investment is examined critically in this book. Typical rental situations are analysed to highlight the uncertainties and risks involved in residential property investment.
Gearing and negative gearing are demystified, and real estate agents who hype up residential property as an investment are given the treatment. This book discussed how to minimise the risks of investing in residential rental property and suggests alternatives to residential property investment.
It is a must read for all persons considering investing in residential rental property, and for all existing property investors who are wondering what is going wrong!.
