 Great book for novice investors January 5, 2007

This is a great book that simplifies and explains the details of real estate investing. It explains how to begin and cautions against some of the risks involved. I think it provides straight-forward practical information that can help anyone get started investing in real estate.
 not just for dummies November 10, 2006

don't think this is just for dummies, this is a helpful book for almost all beginners. it covers a wide range of topics from flips to rentals. i also suggest reading other beginner's guides of specific topics you like. for instance, if you want to know about buying properties below market value through the government, you could buy this book and Investing Without Losing (ISBN 0978834607 NOT on amazn, other stores)

I bought this book some time ago and read it as soon as I got it. I'm a realtor in the Florida Keys and continually work on my education and training. I have never read a "dummies" book before now and I was very impressed. This book was a review of much of the material I learned and great source of information that's easy to follow. The content of the book will help you decide what type of property investment is right for you. It's a must have for anyone considering investing in real estate no matter what your background, and I strongly urge you to read with a Hi-liter for easy reference when you need it. [...]
MY FIRST REAL ESTATE BOOK! November 7, 2006
17 out of 21 found this review helpful
It was some time ago since I bought this book. And if you read all of my reviews about real estate books, you'll know I grade honestly (see my other reviews).
This book I give 5 stars because it truly explains everything to the average Joe. It isn't boring. You get to learn the different aspects of real estate investing. This was my first book and it made me get interested in real estate not because of the "riches that's promised" but the potential that this field has and so many branches of it. Real estate investing isn't limited to just flipping houses, you'll find by reading this book there's many more roads that's equally profitable.

I am only mid-way through this book but it has already answered so many of my questions (that another book did not)! I am new to real estate investing but not new to real estate. This book is layed out (like the rest of the Dummies books) in a very easy to follow format. It points out items to definitely remember when considering transactions and also points out warnings.
Also, since they have no agenda other than to help you understand the process, they did not try to sell you anything (i.e.; get rich quick schemes). This Dummies book gives it to you straight -- Why you should invest in real estate; How real estate investments stack up against other types of investments, such as stocks, etc.; The benefits of building your wealth by staying in for the long term; What cash flow to expect in the short term, including the possibility of negative cash flow.
