7 Steps to Wealth [EPUB ebook] 
The Vital Difference between Property and Real Estate

Secure your financial future amid Australia’s biggest real estate boom

When it comes to making a sound investment, do you know the crucial difference between real estate and property? The answer is land. Land (real estate) appreciates in value — but buildings (property) do not. This fundamental truth powers bestselling author John L. Fitzgerald’s masterful investing strategy in 7 Steps to Wealth. Adapting Warren Buffet’s secret of compound growth, Fitzgerald reveals the essential steps that Australian investors can use to grow their wealth. Uncover the facts and figures that prove residential land is Australia’s best growth asset — and will continue to be, thanks to ongoing booms in the property market and population growth.

7 Steps to Wealth shares John L. Fitzgerald’s own 40-year proven investing plan, supported statistically and with real-life case studies. You’ll quickly discover why 7 Steps to Wealth is the only Australian property book endorsed by three property billionaires!
