6. $1,000,000 In Property In 1 Year – Steve McKnight
This book by Steve McKnight takes you through the successes of the students in his REWARDS program. They set the goal to purchase $1,000,000 in property in 1 year, with the goal of the properties being positive cash flow. This goal was undertaken in a very bad property market, so success was not guaranteed by the market. Steve’s students had to earn their successes and this book will show you how they earned them.

7. How to Make Your Money Last as Long as You Do: A Guide to Money Management and Investing in Positive Cash-Flow Property – Margaret Lomas
This is Margaret’s first book and it is a solid read. It debunks the myth of negative gearing, which is so popular in Australia. I never understood why it is so popular to lose $1 and get 30cents back in the hope of making money through capital gains when you can earn money, pay almost no tax and still get capital gains. This book will teach you about investing and creating an income that you can live off without going to work.

8. Seven Steps To Accelerated Wealth – John Fitzgerald
This book doesn’t focus on positive cash flow as an investment strategy though it does endorse neutral cash flow (where expenses and income are the same so it doesn’t cost you anything). I read this book when I was only 18 and it gave me great insight into how property and equity can help you become financially free. A great read by another very successful real estate investor.

9. Rich Dad’s Cash Flow Quadrant – Robert Kiyosaki
Though not a book on property this book is one of my highest recommended books of all time! Robert explains the different ways people earn money and if you want to earn a passive income then this book is a must read. It will change the way you think about earning money and will give you great inside into how finances work in the world. A genius book that I own not one but two copies of.

10. The Truth About Positive Cash Flow Property Revealed – Margaret Lomas
Many so called ‘experts’ will try to tell you why positive cash flow property investing is impossible or how it won’t make you any money.

The world is ripe with people who will tell you that you can’t invest in positive cash flow property. In this book Margaret dispels the myths and teaches you the truth about positive cash flow property.
