Product Description
Book Description
People who have followed the authors’ model have bought and sold more than $100 million in real estate over the past ten years.
Making great deals in real estate is one of the surest paths to financial and investment success. But with real estate, it’s all too easy to get bogged down with concerns about rehabbing, tenants, or bank financing. While the standard methods of investing-flipping, rehabbing, and landlording-can be effective, alternative strategies can create a much quicker positive cash flow.
In Making Big Money Investing in Real Estate without Tenants, Banks, or Rehab Projects, successful real estate investors Peter Conti and David Finkel share the money-making secrets of purchase option investing. There are numerous ways to invest using creative financing deals with little or no cash down. The co-authors’ field-tested tactics have worked for people from all walks of life-from stay-at-home moms to entrepreneurs. "If they can do it, you can do it," say the authors. They prove their point when sharing nearly 30 success stories and case studies.
Taking readers step-by-step through their model, the authors offer strategies and techniques, explaining what to do and how to do it. They share detailed checklists, marketing pieces, scripts, and forms-everything that investors will need to be successful. Each chapter is packed with proven advice for any reader who wants to:
• Negotiate the best price-including the actual wording that makes sellers say "yes."
• Overcome seller objections and close a deal.
• Build an escape hatch and otherwise lower risks.
• Buy property without ever talking to a banker.
• Sell for top dollar through rent-to-own deals.

Lots of Great Ideas, Easy to Read Book, Highly Recomended!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Big Money Investing in Real Estate: Without Tenants, Banks, or Rehab Projects (Paperback)
My friend recommended this GREAT book to me because it was nominated one of the Top 10 Real Estate Books of the Year by a real estate lawyer who writes a news paper column reveiwing real estate books.I read the book and really LOVED it. I'm relatively new to investing, but I have been studying up on it by reading a lot of books on the topic and this book really stands out as one of the better ones. It has tons of great content & information on how to invest in real estate, as opposed to some other books out there that I thought were full of fluff. It was very motivational too. I liked the easy to read, non-technical, plain language. It was easy to understand. I liked this book a lot, so I bought the authors' next book, on investing in foreclosures too, called "Making Big Money Investing In Foreclosures Without Cash or Credit." So far that one is very good too! I would definately recommend these books to any person interested in investing in real estate.

Buyer Beware,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Big Money Investing in Real Estate: Without Tenants, Banks, or Rehab Projects (Paperback)
I have read both of Peter Conti's books and received personal instruction from him at a seminar in Colorado.You will find no useful additional material in his new book. Their techniques only have a slim possibility of working in locations of the country where real estate prices are rising rapidly. The current economy makes this even more difficult to achieve. I live in a area of the Midwest where I didn't make a dime after a year of following Peter's strategy outlined in the book. Watch out for these guys, their techniques and false promises. The book can easily be summed up as follows: Lease options can trigger the "due on sale" clause of the mortgage which can lead to serious complications. You own personal finances including your home could be jeopardized. The reaction of Peter's company to critical book reviews in the past has been to E-Mail former students asking them to post positive responses to bury reviews like this further down in the list. They sent out an E-Mail to their students on July 16 ... notice how 'magically' 18 reviews were posted the same day? Buyer beware. I feel there are much better resources on Amazon than this book.

Going to try to make it work!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Big Money Investing in Real Estate: Without Tenants, Banks, or Rehab Projects (Paperback)
I got the book about a week ago. I have read it a couple of times and taking a few notes. It was an easy read.My goal is to have my first property in 3-4 months. The reason I picked so far out as a goal is because I have a new 4 mo. old daughter. Otherwise I probably would have said a month and a half... I will right back and let you know how it is going... On another note about all the reviews... It seems to me that all the students did 5 outta 5 stars and anyone who either hasn't read it or been able to buy any property gave the book a 1 star. It seems to me people who have not, at the very least, read the book, should not comment on the book... Ranting does not help anything. Anyway, like I said, I'll let you know how it goes... I'll write back in a month...
