Book summary

How do you turn a $50,000 deposit into a multi-million-dollar property portfolio? Lloyd Edge joined the club to unpack the fully updated and revised edition of Positively Geared — from responsible leverage and cash flow to the practical choices that can turn a long-term property plan into lasting financial freedom.

Perfect winter read. Or summer. Or any month, apparently. Whoever flagged the recurring water imagery — thank you, I can't unsee it now. Already lent my copy out twice.

I annotated so heavily the margins ran out. The pacing wobbles in the third quarter but the payoff earns it. Five stars from me.

Perfect winter read. Or summer. Or any month, apparently. The dialogue is doing about four jobs at once. Solid four stars, and a full five for the ending.

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. Still thinking about that final line.

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.

This is the pick that made me rejoin the club, honestly. The secondary characters carry more weight than they get credit for. Thanks to everyone who posted here — made the read twice as good.

I came in skeptical and left completely won over. The pacing wobbles in the third quarter but the payoff earns it. Would happily do a re-read discussion next year.

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.

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.

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.

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. Bumping the author's backlist to the top of my stack.
