If you’ve ever wondered how to crack the golden chalice of property investment, Turning Crisis into Profit: How to Make Money in Asian Market will provide an enlightening read this Christmas. The book shares the secrets of property investment that helped the author, Tim Murphy build his property investment empire, IP Global and guides the reader through the challenging and complex world of property investment with an unambiguous approach and lively narrative.

Murphy fell into property investment when at the age of 22, fresh out of university, he took the plunge and applied for a mortgage on a house in the southern English town of Chichester. “You had to kick the back door to enter because the wood had swollen. The carpets were musty and worn, and the stairs creaked,” he describes. However, it is that rickety house that sparked a life-long passion for property. And it is this passion that drove him to establish IP Global in 2005 to help provide advice to others looking to venture into the property market.

Throughout the book Murphy acts as a mentor and guide for his readers, and draws upon nearly twenty years of experience in the property market, and a decade of living in Asia to illustrate how best to delve into this world. Turning Crisis into Profit is frank and explanatory, yet captivating - It reveals how Murphy took a passion and turned it into a life-long endeavour, which allowed him to not only build a future for himself, but also to assist others in doing the same. The result is a book that puts the otherwise perplexing business of property investment into cohesive and comprehensive terms for the uninitiated and the seasoned veteran alike.
