In a recent book launch by one of Donald Trump's proteges, David Lindahl made the very astute comment that buyers should not wait until the market rises again if they want to make a successful investment.

Given that the herd mentality often impacts property investing as much as any other arena, it's interesting when I speak to lots of investors that a lot of people are "waiting to see what will happen" or "will be getting back into property next year" or "finance is so tricky right now I can't get anything to stack up".

Take some advice from a former gardener who has gone onto invest in more than 560 properties and taught across the USA: "don't wait, buy now".

Now is the best time that we have seen in the UK for tens of years to buy low, buy right and make the money today that you will live off for the rest of your live - take action today.
