Excellent and informative - the best place to start - By: DB, 18 Sep 2008 
This is simply the best introduction to the Buy-to-Let market available. The fundamental strength of the book is that David Lawrenson is (1) not trying to sell you one of his portfolios or convince you to invest in Romanina; (2) someone who has been there & done it. So the advice in the book is balanced, realistic & of immense practical use. Highly recommended.

Excellent book! The best I've read on the subject - By: N. Smith, 10 Aug 2007 This book is reallly good. It's very readable, in easy to find sections & he goes into a great deal of detail without lots of unnecessary waffle. He gives a lot of common sense advice & covers alll aspects of property investing, not just the merits of doing it, but everything else, from finding property to becoming a landlord & the legal side of that. A very good read, highly recommended.
Very useful source of information - By: Reader from Cambridge, 20 Jun 2007 Last year I started looking at buy-to-let opportunities & needed to gather loads of information. So I decided to purchase some books covering the issues. David Lawrenson's book in particular was the most useful one of those I read (5 in total). What I like about it is the practical & hands-on focus throughout the chapters. Also the list of websites/references has been extremely useful. Definitely a book to have if you're serious about buy-to-let!
