Australia’s leading property expert, Lloyd Edge, known for his educational approach to property investment, is proud to announce the release of the second edition of his best-selling book, Positively Geared.
This is no ordinary update—it’s a complete rewrite designed to address today’s evolving Australian property market, featuring brand-new real-world case studies and equity creation tactics that reflect the latest trends and challenges investors face in 2025 and beyond.
From Classroom to Property Boardroom
Lloyd, a former schoolteacher turned multi-award-winning property investor, has built a $25 million portfolio from scratch. His journey from the classroom to becoming one of Australia’s most trusted real estate voices embodies his belief that education is the ultimate tool for financial freedom.
“Property investment is about creating a life of freedom, not just accumulating wealth,” says Lloyd. “I’ve rewritten Positively Geared to reflect today’s property market and provide readers with the education, strategies, and tools they need to take action in 2025 and beyond.”
