Review of How to Beat the Credit Crunch by Toby Hone of Taxcafe

I placed my property on the market recently so I have had first hand experience of just how difficult the property market is , at least if you are trying to sell. Fortunately we didn't really have to sell . We were interested in one particular house which had become available. Unfortunately we didn't get it and like many others have decided we'll spend money on our own house and make it more like the one we were interested in.

"How to beat the credit crunch" similarly relies on first hand experience. It is written by Toby Hone, a professional property investor. Toby has been in the business for over 10 years and it seems he is the real deal. This is only to be expected from the Taxcafe stable as they have established an excellent online brand attracting quality tax authors.

The title of the book is obviously topical and has been cleverly chosen for maximum exposure at this time. If marketing wasn't a factor it could easily have been given any number of titles as in essence it is a how to book. All businesses to maximise profits need to find ways of increasing sales and reducing expenses. This book explores ways in which to achieve this, for instance the author details 18 practical ways to slash property expenses. However, it does do somewhat more than this. Every man and his dog seem to be saying that one of the major problems with the property market is lack of access to funds. The credit crunch is just that. The banks are much more reluctant to lend even to the very credit worthy it sometimes seems.The book deals with ways to overcome the mortgage drought and not only this but how to find the best deals where available.

One of the things that I truly like about this book is that it is not 100 per cent focused on the UK property market. Take it from me that as a UK professional tax adviser marketing online can be a massively frustrating experience. UK tax is specialist to the UK . It doesn't apply to anyone other than the people on this tiny ( but wonderful nevertheless) island. This means that my presence on the web is relevant for a minute fraction of the worldwide web audience. Thank you therefore Tony for including an analysis of the outlook for the UK property market and a comparison with the US market.

It's impossible to go through all the topics covered. I would have to rewrite the book. What I can say is this book is certainly not for everyone. It's not the solution to the credit crunch, the world and everything.It is specifically aimed at property investors and landlords who are looking at ways to survive and make money during the credit crunch. If you do not fall into any of these categories this book is not for you.

I know that my recent experience in the property market although not disastrous was not a happy one. It may have been more pleasant if I had read this book at the time.
