There is a time to buy and hold property for long-term results, and there are times when opportunities to fast-track your returns will present themselves. Readers of this fascinating new book by property expert Peter Mastroianni will learn how to recognise these opportunities and profit from them.

The Property Investor's Buyers Guide is for all investors. Whatever your situation, there is a strategy that you can adapt that meets your lifestyle requirements and risk tolerance. Many investors just don't realise that:

- Property is not a one-size-fits-all investment - there are many approaches to property investing

- You don't need to own your own home to start investing

- You need to invest for both cash flow and capital growth.

The Property Investor's Buyers Guide covers a wide range of important topics often overlooked in other property books, including developing, subdivision and investing in a joint venture partnership.
