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 investin Romanina; (2) someone who has been there & done it. So the advicein 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 really 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 all 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 bookin particular was the most useful one of those I read (5in 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!
