Product Description

From AudioFile

Written by a real estate pro with many such books to his credit, this fast-moving abridgment offers the inside scoop on every aspect of real estate investing. With practical language, flowing examples, and no motivational hype, the author spells out the external and internal reasons that new real estate investors make mistakes they can easily avoid. He covers everything-property valuations, financing, options, raw land, commercial property, zoning, utilities, taxation, depreciation, rental contracts, and real estate agents-and his no-nonsense approach will make listeners think. His sobering advice on how to minimize risks is excellent. William Dufris's reading is well suited to this kind of material.

This review is from: How to Get Started in Real Estate Investing (Paperback)

If you are complaining about the book being too basic, or it did not give you info on what to do if you already own a home, read the title. This is a beginner's book. I have read the book and it was a great investment for beginners. It takes you through the beginning processes of investment and what you need to be wary of. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone thinking about real estate investing. I would not recommend it to someone who is knowledgeable about investing. Overall the book is very basic, yet detailed. It is not about pumping you up, but instead gives you valuable info about.. (get this)HOW TO GET STARTED.

"mmikey999" (San Antonio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Get Started in Real Estate Investing (Paperback)

This book is amazing! I own two rental homes, bought with difficulty, and never realized how I could have done it so much easier and with less money down.
This book's first chapter actually walked me from example to example showing how to find and acquire rental property. Then it showed how to hold them for long term or flip quickly for cash outs. I never knew what I was missing or how easy it is. And the later chapters deal with all sorts of high-end investing including industrial, commercial and land.
This book is a must read. I don't think it matters whether you're getting started or are an old investor. It's a money-maker!

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: How to Get Started in Real Estate Investing (Paperback)

the title is misleading.
I have some experience in real estate and decided to buy
professional book to learn something.
Big mistake.
The author never,yes,never gives you actual real life examples.
His experience looks like limited to California.
And US is much bigger.
Not many web sites mentioned at all if any.
Some facts that are most important to beginner are missing.
These facts are local taxes and neighborhood.
