De Roos, who lives in the United States but is coming here to stage seminars this month, said he was concerned about people borrowing too much.
"Many may leverage themselves too far to cope with any evening out of property prices and inevitable rises in interest rates that are bound to come," he said.
He said it might seem ironic for a property investment specialist to warn against the very vehicle he made his money from, but said people risked surrendering good investments at a loss or at reduced prices to escape from a difficult financial position.
