Lee introduces readers to property with the following line: “My first property transaction changed my life forever. In 12 short and exciting months, I made more money than I had earned working as a qualified professional for two years.” If that doesn’t grab you, then investing in property as a second income and reading this book won’t be your cup of tea.“My success story is merely one of many property-related success stories. I could tell lots of similar stories. I trust that after reading this book you will be motivated and equipped to write your own property-related success story.”
