Jan Somers, a former high school biology and mathematics teacher, is now an acclaimed author with several best-selling books on property investment to her credit. Her first book, Manual for Residential Property Investors was released in 1989 to a limited market in Brisbane. This manual was so well received that it was expanded into a second book, Building Wealth through Investment Property, and distributed Australia wide in 1992. It was an instant best seller, becoming one of the top selling self-help books of the 90s. Both these books were adapted and released in New Zealand in 1993. By the mid 1990s, economic conditions had changed in Australia, and with it came a barrage of 'what ifs' by the media and cynics who questioned the validity of the Jan Somers strategy in times of low inflation. In 1994, Jan released her third book, Building Wealth in Changing Times, in response to those questions. With hundreds of thousands of books in circulation, Jan became inundated with stories from people who had successfully invested in property - and some from those who could have or should have. As a result, 101 of these fascinating stories were published in 1998 in her fourth book, Building Wealth Story by Story, the final story being Jan and Ian's own, describing the types of property they bought and the kinds of finance they used. Ian Somers is a former research scientist with more than 20 years of experience in mathematical modelling and computer software design. In collaboration with Jan, he has written the internationally acclaimed Property Investment Analysis (PIA) software which makes difficult property investment calculations easy to do and easy to understand. Even novice property investors can find the answer to virtually all of their questions with just a few clicks of a mouse and the entry of a few key variables.
