Bill Barnett puts a lot of tips into this book, such as how to present multiple offers, how to sell via an online auction, and also goes into tax credits,and other tips that make it a worthwhile read. It is in a very easy and interesting style. Good Job Bill!!!

The price of this book should be higher with all of the info you'll be getting.Of course with all real estate books you should read more than just one so you'll have a better understanding of whats involved. I wouldn't expect to operate on someone if all I read was one book on surgery.You need to study and watch other people do it, and then when you're ready,you do it. Oh and the reason the other reviewer DANE S. FABER give it a bad review was because of what Mr. Barnett said in the book about real estate brokers, he called them Dinosaurs who have to to keep up with modern times. With all that said this is one Great Book! Read a copy at a library before you buy and believe me, you'll want your own.

This is excellent book packed with powerful advice. You would be dumb not to read it and even dumber not to use it. I found this book easy reading and very helpful.

The book is a wealth of advice for the novice investor. It details what you should do and offers examples that you can simply imitate. The only really weakness in the book was the section on raising money. Mr barnett does offer suggestions (including a script to use & the math on why approaching hard money lenders may make a deal more profitable); however he does not go into the details of how you can raise money if you've had no experience doing so (in every other facet of the buying and selling process he does). This book is a fantastic read and a must buy for every other begining investor out there.

I believe that this book is a great companion to Robert Allen's Nothing Down. The fact that Allen wrote the forward should tell you how Allen feels about this book.

Are You Dumb Enough To Be Rich is updated for the times and offers fresh material. I like the fact that the author offers information on tax liens and discounted mortgages as well.

Are You Dumb Enough To Be Rich is a great book. You would be dumb not to buy it and use it. Great book. Highly recommended.

I am a RE Broker. This is the most simplistic book ever written on the subject of RE.. Promise me that you will buy "Secure Your Financial Future Investing in Real Estate" by Martin Stone. You will be far better off!!! "Secure..." is written by two brokers rather than these hype type, think and grow rich folks. I always say there is more money in practicing what they pupport to know so why are they writing books rather than doing it? The Martin Stone book is written by guys who have done it and are still doing it. The book is a gift from them to you- buy it.

I have an average income, but, like many people, I have a burning desire to be more wealthy, so as to raise my social status above those around me. Books like this one seem designed for the purpose of informing people specifically how they could achieve this. However, although I'm no Einstein, it seems that this particular book's exclusionist nature may well leave me out. People like myself may only constitute a small market segment, but aren't we worth considering too? Why should I be excluded from the exciting wealth and investment opportunities referred to in this book? Perhaps the author would be wealthier from sales of their book if they had thought about this earlier.

One of the most common questions we get from our users at ForeclosuresMass is "Now that we have the foreclosure data, what do we do with it?" Well there are many different way to pursue foreclosures and when we first read "Are You DUMB Enough to be RICH" by G William Barnett II we thought Bill was reading our minds! In his book, he goes over how to approach people in foreclosure, what letters to send them, what to do once you meet with them, how to structure the deals, your 120 day step-by-step plan, how to find investors, and much, much more. In addition to foreclosures, he also goes into the many other ways to make money in real estate. Add on the forward by Robert G. Allen and you have one fantastic book!

Are You Dumb Enough is an excellent resource for brand new investors as well as experienced investors. It brings you back to the basics and reminds of you to stick to what works and not over complicate things. I was reminded of the techniques that had originally brought me success and was also able to pick up several new tips and tricks that have already helped increase our profitability.

Excellent book. Easy reading. Packed with powerful advice. You would be dumb not to read it and even dumber not to use it.

Outstanding for novice and experienced RE investors alike.
