 Great for beginners October 18, 2008
Kongkom Hiranpradit
After all its the 'ABC', for beginners. Would take a couple more books to get to 'XYZ'. Its great for those who are interested in the real estate investing and want to know what its about (this book only talks about rental apartments, not houses or condos). For people who are already in the business this book will only point out the obvious. It doesn't cover all of the aspects of real estate investing. Well, no book does. It serves more as a guide, touches on the surface of 1) finding deals, 2) how to investigate a property, 3) how to come up with the price of the property, 4) a little bit on how to manage rental apartments. It doesn't cover on other important topics such as 1) funding, bank loans, financing and morgaging your property 2) taxes and 3) market researching.
How to run a real estate business. October 13, 2008
Scott Meadows (Fresno, CA)
This is more of a book on how to run a real estate investment business than what you traditionally find in real estate investment books. I would not recommend this book for beginners or even amateurs because there's no way you'll be able to raise the millions needed for investing in huge complexes from investors without a lot of experience. I certainly wouldn't give a million dollars to someone that's never purchased and managed a large complex so they could learn with my money.
I believe this, and his Advanced Guide to Real Estate Investing, are great books for investors that are moving from single and multi-family residences to large complexes. But I just don't bite off on any Joe Blow being able to raise the capital to do what he's teaching.
Excellent How-To book on buying apartment buildings September 23, 2008
New to Investing (Los Angeles, CA)
This is the first book in the Rich Dad series that actually tells you how to find, buy and manage apartment complexes. The author writes the entire step by step process of locating a good market and a good deal.
The disadvantage is that the step by step process is written in paragraph form, not outline form, so that makes it a little harder to go back and find the step you are looking for after reading the book.
 Crossed the "T"s and Dotted the "I"s June 10, 2008
DLS (Boston, MA)
This was a thorough book. The author has real-life experience doing exactly what he writes about. He gives excellent advice on how to find the diamonds in the rough, and how to do 99% of your research BEFORE you spend a dime. I recommend this book to anyone in the industry. Fabulous!
