Review #1

It delivers exactly what it promises

This book is exactly what it promises. It is a beginner's guide to real estate investing. It shows you different ways to make money in real estate because there are many strategies. For example, you might want to flip properties or hold them long term for their cash flow. The book covers topics such as buying foreclosures and REOs, financing with little or no down payments, and adding value through various improvements. Chapter 11, More Sources of Bargains, is particularly valuable because the author teaches various sources of deals such as federal government auctions, sheriff sales, probate, and estate sales. You will also find Chapter 14, Twenty-One More Ways to Push Up the Value of Your Properties, useful. One example of increasing the value of your property includes converting a garage, attic, or basement into a living area that can bring in more rental income.

- Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market? Learn how to invest your money, how to pick stocks, and how to make money in the stock market




Review #2

Easy

This book is easy to sit down and read. It is motivating and informative. I love the way the other goes about informing you on the ins and outs of investing. Would love all books to use this format and tone of writing.




Review #3

Solid Basic Information

Eldred presents solid information on the topics he promises to discuss: how to find ways to pay for real estate, how to evaluate a good opportunity, not just by knowing your local market, but by doing the math, how to negotiate and write a good deal, and some basic tips toward "landlording". The writing is clear and to the point, not larded with "fluff" and stories. I borrow some books on the subject from the library. This one I own.
