Ex High Street Bank Manager Shows Budding
Property Investors The Ropes In New Book
********************************************
Up until May 2004 Peter Stanley, from Manchester,
was a corporate manager for one of the big four high
street banks. He'd worked with this company for 14 years.
But, like many seemingly successful career people,
deep inside he craved the freedom to be his own boss
and do what he loved away from the corporate treadmill.
So, in his spare time he began building his own rental
property portfolio and, given the success he achieved
working just a few hours a week, he was quickly able
to jump ship and become a full time property investor.
Spurred on by his own success and realising many other
people were also sick of working every hour to make other
people rich, Peter set out to educate budding property
investors with his own "Property Made Simple" workshops
and programmes which have received wide acclaim from
participants.
His first book, by the same name, is written for
"absoulte beginners" giving readers the skills, confidence
and know-how to get on the property investing ladder so they
can sack their boss, and work the hours they like, too.
Peter says, "We've all watched the TV property programmes
and thought that it looks easier than going to the office
every day. And we all know at least one person who made
his money in property and retired to Spain. But many of
us never even try it ourselves because we have that nagging
doubt at the back of our minds…
'Surely, if it's so easy, everyone would be doing it?'
He continues, "Well even if it's not easy it can be simple
which is why I decided to write this honest, plain english,
little book that I wish I'd had when I was starting out."
The eBook launches this week (exclusively at
www.bookshaker.com)
and the paperback edition will be available at Amazon and
all good bookshops early in 2006.

——————————————
Peter recently resigned from his job with a high street bank
where he rose to the level of corporate bank manager over
the 14 years he was there. He previously worked for another
bank, but left after 3 years as things weren't happening
quickly enough. Despite a number of job opportunities in
other cities and countries, Peter has remained in his home
town of Manchester.
Over the last 5 years, Peter has researched property
investment, having seen a number of colleagues and customers
make money from property and after much deliberation and
procrastination, decided to take the plunge and make his
first foray into the "buy to let market" Since then he has
bought further properties in South Manchester and is looking
to expand his portfolio rapidly since his departure from the
nine to five.
His experience of property renovation started with his first
house, bought in 1995, because he wanted to live in a nicer
area than he could afford. He bought a house at a good
discount due to the work needed. If he had known then, what
he knows now, he would probably have passed on the
opportunity! Discounting the usual bathroom and kitchen kind
of jobs, he reroofed the house, replaced the ground floor
joists and floorboards, re-installed the cast iron
fireplaces, rewired, demolished and rebuilt walls, removed
lead piping, so that the only thing that remained the same
was the house number!
In his spare time, he likes to play pinball, throw
boomerangs, although it's usually a stick, fly kites, play
scalextric and anything to do with cars - probably to prove
that growing older doesn't mean growing up. His wife has
joked that he could talk about cars all day if given the
opportunity!
