Jumia Books How to Retire on $3,000 a Week: The Property Couch’s Playbook for Passive Property Investing by Bryce Holdaway & Ben Kingsley

How to Retire on $3,000 a Week by Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley is a no-nonsense, results-driven guide to achieving financial independence through property investing. Building on the success of their best-selling Armchair Guide to Property Investing and their acclaimed podcast The Property Couch (with over 2,000 five-star reviews), this book distills decades of experience into a practical playbook for creating passive income that lasts.

Holdaway and Kingsley challenge the myth that retirement requires millions in savings or risky speculation. Instead, they present a step-by-step strategy for building a property portfolio that generates consistent, tax-effective income—enough to retire on $3,000 a week.

Inside, you’ll learn:

The 18 key principles of passive property investing

How to identify high-performing investment properties using data, not emotion

The importance of borrowing strategy, cash flow management, and asset selection

How to avoid common traps like overleveraging, chasing capital growth, or relying on market timing

Real-life case studies of everyday Australians who’ve achieved financial freedom through property

The authors emphasize long-term thinking, discipline, and education over hype and shortcuts. Their approach is grounded in behavioral finance, economic fundamentals, and a deep understanding of Australia’s property market—but the principles are adaptable for global investors, including those in East Africa seeking to build wealth through real estate.

Whether you're a beginner looking to buy your first investment property or a seasoned investor refining your strategy, How to Retire on $3,000 a Week offers a clear, actionable framework.
