Inside This Book (Learn More)

First Sentence
The purpose if this book is not so much to give you the "how-to" of real estate-although there will be plenty of how-to-advice-but to make you sit bolt upright and exclaim: "Wow, I never realized real estate was this good!" Read the first page

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing but fluff, Jun 22 2003

This review is from: Real Estate Riches: How to Become Rich Using Your Banker's Money (Paperback)

This book was a complete waste of money. Upon finishing the book (easily accomplished in under an hour), I quickly realized that it contained nothing more than pointless verbal cheerleading.

By A Customer

This review is from: Real Estate Riches: How to Become Rich Using Your Banker's Money (Paperback)

This is a motivational / inspriational book, and provides very little *actionable* advice.

If you are looking for information on "How to Become Rich Using Your Banker's Money" as the title indicates, you will be VERY disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction to Real Estate Investment, Jun 24 2004

By

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Real Estate Riches: How to Become Rich Using Your Banker's Money (Paperback)

I am a strong advocate of the entire "Rich Dad" Series, but was surprised in the limitation of scope of this book. It offered an introduction to the world of real estate investment, but didn't quite offer all of the "how-to" information that one has become accustomed to with other Rich Dad books.

For example, Dolf speaks a lot about buying commmercial real estate and how running them is easier than renting residential real estate. He only spends a few pages really delving into this topic when it could greatly shape how one invests in real estate. Commercial real estate has its pros and cons, but this book seems to lean towards exposing people to mostly commmercial real estate when that's not always within their best interests.

Furthermore, this book tells a lot of stories. If you like stories about how people get rich in real estate, read this book. It's a fast read and fairly small, so there shouldn't be a problem reading it in a weekend or less. However, don't turn to it if you're looking for an in-depth plan on investing in real estate. It is lacking in the "how to" department.

One final note, I have made lots of money by investing in real estate, both commercial and residential. I feel this is a good book to get one started in the world of real estate investing, and I hope everyone in the world does it. Just make sure you read other books as well to give yourself a broader understanding of the complexities of investing.
