Set for Life
Description
Your financial future is yours to build - and it's never too early or too late in life to start
Most of us were told to get a good job, buy a house, pay it off and hope for the best. But is a lifetime of mortgage repayments really all that lies ahead of you? Set for Life is about building something better: growing your wealth, securing your future and supporting those you love. In Set For Life, you'll find the step-by-step strategies you need to transform your financial future through property.
Award-winning buyer's agent Lloyd Edge used property investing to take himself from a teacher's salary to financial freedom at age 40. In Set for Life, he shows you how to buy and invest even in today's tough property market. Discover how to start your Freedom Fund: your personal strategy for passive income that grows into generational wealth, giving you the freedom to live life on your own terms. Lloyd maps out a clear, achievable path for success - wherever you're starting from and whatever stage of life you're in.
- Plan your finances strategically for long-term growth.
- Know what to look for in an investment property so you can buy confidently.
- Learn how proven strategies like rentvesting can help you get into the market sooner.
- Use existing equity to help your children and family, without jeopardising your own retirement.
- Build wealth that outlasts you, for your family, your community and generations to come.
Whether you're in your twenties and renting, in your thirties and starting a family, or you're planning for retirement, Lloyd meets you where you are and shows you the path forward. Grounded in real Australian stories, Set for Life shares the smart tools that will help you take your next steps in property - and build a life you're genuinely set for.
