About This Book

Cracking the Real Estate Code is your guide to staying safe when buying an investment property.

It teaches you everything from how to avoid suspect sales techniques, to understanding the real financials behind property you are looking at buying.

It might even end up saving you a fortune too.

My name is Michael Sloan. I'm a qualified Financial Planner, Mortgage Broker, Investment Property Advisor, and an external Property Advisor to National Australia Bank (NAB). I wrote this book for every day Australians who are wanting to make sure they don't get burned when it comes to investing in property.

I started my first business young. By the time I moved to Melbourne in 1999, I had more than a decade's experience and was lucky enough to land my dream job in real estate. However, I quickly became disillusioned with the questionable methods I witnessed (methods I was even expected to follow).

What I saw was manipulative sales techniques. Unethical practices. Pressure tactics. And the fact that "advice" is seldom impartial and in the buyer's best interest.

After a decade, I'd had enough and decided to launch The Successful Investor, a company that specialises in helping average Australians invest in property. I thought that by providing 100% impartial advice, investors could make the only the right choice - and my business would grow on the basis of providing value and being ethical in a largely unethical industry.

As a result, my team and I have now helped our clients buy over one Billion dollars of property, based on the principles found in this book.

This book is written for three types of people

1. People who don't think they can afford to get into property investing (you likely can)

2. People who are just starting out and want some independent, expert advice

3. People who have already started investing and want to better their skills and reduce their risk

Customer Reviews

“I was initially quite sceptical about the services offered. A colleague recommended Anthony and the team after purchasing a property through them... About a year later, we committed to a property, and another not long after. I believe they took the time to understand our wants / needs and helped every step of the way. I've been truly impressed with the service all the way through. Highly recommend having a conversation.”

“To The Successful Investor Team, or shall I address you as 'The Dream Makers?' As today you have made our dreams come true. You truly are Gods amongst men, Kings amongst peasants, Scousers amongst Mancs. Today I cheered for joy in the staff room, celebrating ownership of our first property, I explained to my work mates how exciting this was, and how The Successful Investor team (The Dream Makers) helped me achieve this. May all the Dream Makers live long and prosperous lives, our gratitude is with you forever. Joshua and Fiona.”

“When my husband and I attended their LOVE 2016 event, we were not very sure of what to expect, as we haven't bought a property yet and are still quite new to all this. But the event was very informative, gave us a good idea on what to expect and look for. Michael, Karen and the whole team are very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. We definitely will consult them when we buy our 1st investment property.”

I can't believe I was nervous and hesitated to move forward for so long, I should have done this years ago! Their knowledge and support was invaluable.
