Positively Geared · Property & Finance
Book summary
A practical guide to building a multi-million-dollar property portfolio from a $50,000 deposit, fully updated and revised for today's property investor. A club-favorite property & finance pick — our members spent a full month with Positively Geared, unpacking its structure, its heart, and the questions it leaves behind.
I annotated so heavily the margins ran out. There's a generosity in how the author treats even the awful characters. Would happily do a re-read discussion next year.

Second read for me, and it's a different book the second time. Whoever flagged the recurring water imagery — thank you, I can't unsee it now. Bumping the author's backlist to the top of my stack.

I had to pause halfway through and just sit with it. Every scene has a door in it. Someone in chat pointed that out and I lost my mind. Thanks to everyone who posted here — made the read twice as good.

Our little side-thread on the middle section was the best part of the month. It's a quiet book with a very loud ending. One of my favourites from the archive.

I had to pause halfway through and just sit with it. The prose does that trick where it's plain until suddenly it isn't. Still thinking about that final line.

Our little side-thread on the middle section was the best part of the month. Structurally it reminded me of last spring's pick, but warmer. Solid four stars, and a full five for the ending.

Second read for me, and it's a different book the second time. I loved how little it explains itself. Already lent my copy out twice.

This is the pick that made me rejoin the club, honestly. Every scene has a door in it. Someone in chat pointed that out and I lost my mind. Would happily do a re-read discussion next year.

Perfect winter read. Or summer. Or any month, apparently. The dialogue is doing about four jobs at once. Bumping the author's backlist to the top of my stack.

I came in skeptical and left completely won over. The pacing wobbles in the third quarter but the payoff earns it. Still thinking about that final line.

The structure is the argument here, and I don't think I clocked that until the discussion. I loved how little it explains itself. Bumping the author's backlist to the top of my stack.

Read it out loud to my partner in the evenings — highly recommend that way. It's a quiet book with a very loud ending. Solid four stars, and a full five for the ending.

Finished this one in two sittings and I'm still turning the last chapter over. The secondary characters carry more weight than they get credit for. Still thinking about that final line.
