Review #1

Didn't really explain anything

I thought that she was going to explain to you how to invest in rental properties without going into deep debt for yourself. However, the truth is you need money to invest in real estate. So, there's really no way around it, which made her book redundant. She just gave examples of 3 people with 3 different investment strategies. In the end, the one with the most number of rental properties ended up with the largest profit growth. I really did not find the book useful for someone looking to invest in rental properties.




Review #2

A solid guide to turning a profit on small rental properties

How To Invest In Rental Properties Without Mortgaging Your Soul is a solid guide to turning a profit on small rental properties, which provice the safest and highest return on investment and can offer supplemental income or retirement security. Chapters address common myths about real estate, how to finance one's purchase, managing one's business and the basics of fixing up property for fun and profit, common financial mistakes that women in particular are susceptible to (such as treating clothing as a financial investment or being reluctant to take even small risks), and much more. An excellent all-in-one introduction to the benefits and pitfalls of the real estate world.




Review #3

An Empowering, Enjoyable Investment Guide

Mabel Armstrong has accomplished a difficult task with her book, How to Invest in Rental Properties without Mortgaging Your Soul. She has written a thorough, step-by-step investment guide with clear, accessible language and an encouraging, friendly tone. She explains basic investment principles in a simple, logical way, but personalizes the information she provides with individual case examples, many of them her own. To this reader, Armstrong sounds like a real estate investment expert; but because she provides stories of her own confusion and inexperience, I trusted her and believed I was capable of doing what she has done.

If real estate investment seems like a dry subject, be prepared for a surprise. Armstrong's guide has an attractive cover and layout, a wonderful chapter on social responsibility, and an overall personal style I found thoroughly enjoyable. I felt as if I got to know this likeable author through her personal anecdotes, and felt as if she wouldn't mind if I telephoned her to ask for advice. In addition, the book is an empowering read: Even when the details get complicated, Armstrong breaks them down into orderly, do-able tasks, so the reader is left feeling I can do this!

Though its focus is real estate, I'd recommend this book to anyone who is ready to learn more about taking responsibility for her money.
