Jamie McIntyre says," I can honestly say I was fortunate enough to have beconme a Property Millionaire, but not because of Real Estate Agents or by taking their advise, but because I found mentors who had produced real life results.

The majority of real estate agents are not trained in real estate investing; many are simply commissioned sales people, who will do anything to gain a sale, as this book will highlight.

This book has been prepared with the intention of enabling as many people as possible to learn and develop the skills required to become financially successful as I believe industries such as the real estate industry have been profiteering and taking advantage of people due to consumer ignorance around money for far too long.

Education is the solution to most problems especially financial ones.

This book is an education designed to inspire you to take charge of your financial future so you never have to rely on commission driven Real Estate Agents ever again!

What You Will Achieve From This Book:

How to think like a Property Millionaire.
How smart investors earn $35,000 per year from Investment Property -TAX FREE!
How to avoid losing in Real Estate and fall for Real Estate Agents tricks that can cost you thousands.
How to buy property virtually no money down.
How to use Property Options to make a fortune in Real Estate without using any of your own money.
How to retire in 10 years or less from Real Estate in your spare time.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Warrior Brothers By Keith Fennell

Keith Fennell

In 1995, aged just twenty-one, Keith Fennell was accepted into the Australian Special Air Service Regiment, the SAS. Over the next eleven years, operations took him from the jungles of East Timor to the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, from the Southern Indian Ocean to Iraq. What he learned about friendship, and about himself, changed him forever.

Fennell's missions forced him to stare death in the face many times. His experiences are shocking and confronting - but also inspiring.

His first book Warrior Brothers, an unflinching look inside the action and the fear, the tragedy and the bravery, of his service in Australian SAS, will be published in Australia and New Zealand by Random House in June 2008.

Keith is a public speaker and personal development coach. He lives with his family in a small coastal village south of Sydney.

A red-hot memoir from an Australian ex-SAS soldier, full of the action, fear and camaraderie of combat

For the first time, an ex-SAS soldier tells all: what it means to be a member of an elite group, the challenges, the highs and the lows - and the sense of duty, honour and brotherhood that never dies.

In 1995, aged just 21, Keith Fennell was accepted into the Australian Special Air Service Regiment, the SAS. Over the next 11 years, operations took him from the jungles of East Timor to the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, from the southern Indian Ocean to Iraq. What he learned about friendship, and about himself, changed him forever.

Fennell's missions forced him to stare death in the face many times. From dodging mines and bullets in Iraq's Anbar province to assisting the recovery effort after the Asian tsunami, his experiences are shocking and confronting - but also inspiring.

An unflinching look inside the action and the fear, the tragedy and the bravery of one soldier's service in the Australian SAS, WARRIOR BROTHERS is also an edge-of-your-seat adrenaline ride with a group of men you will never forget.
