Everyone who buys real estate - whether as an investment or as a family home - wants to see the value of their property grow and grow. Achieving fast and strong capital gains should never be left to chance...and needn't be if you purchase a property in a real estate hot spot. An Insider's Guide to Real Estate Hot Spots allows you to view the market through the eyes of an expert investor, Kieran Trass, and to recognise the factors that signal an area is about to go through a period of rapid growth. The key to making money from real estate is to identify these hot spots early - before the rest of the market.
