Shah's approach flips conventional wisdom on its head. Instead of stretching yourself thin for a mortgage that'll own you for 30 years, she shows you how wealthy people actually think about money. It's not about property at any cost. It's about cash flow that works while you sleep.
The numbers don't lie: house prices have outpaced income growth by 400% in major markets. The old playbook is broken. But Shah's alternative isn't some get-rich-quick scheme. It's a methodical approach based on how investment professionals build real wealth.
