 good reading material for understanding real estate February 28, 2008
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
It helps me to learn something I have never heard of before about real estate. Although investing in real estate can make money, I wish the author had addressed the taxes and closing costs associated with real estate transactions. I would imagine a lot of the real-life stories might not look as rosy as the author claimed.

I've been reading this book since the end of Oct. 2007 & it has some very information & advice on Real Estate Investing. Not only that, Dean has a very good support system in place through his website [...]
Also, he just did a conference call on taking advantage if the current Real Estate market with more good advice on Jan. 22, 2008

 The completely wrong way to get into Real Estate December 13, 2007

Buy and refinance? At a time when home prices are plunging, with a recession on our doorstep and inflation in the wings? With monetary policy so out of control that banks aren't even lending to each other anymore?
Using real estate as ATMs is in great part what has brought on the 'credit crunch'. Advising people to do the same old thing that got us into this mess is just plain irresponsible. Advising people to do it in order to become "Real Estate Millionaires" in the face of the disasterous economic woes ahead is almost criminal.
Foreclosures in California alone are up 425% from last year because of the kind of thinking this book advocates. That's not a typo - 425% percent from a year ago, and that is just the bare beginning of the avalanche.
Read the economic news, not get-rich-quick snakeoil salesmen.
 A balanced review December 9, 2007

I'm a real estate investor and as an investor, you want as much information as you can get. You want to read books so you can be on your game. However, instead of information on how to conduct million dollar deals, financing, and other pertinent items on how to be a "real estate millionaire", I got something entirely different from this book.
PROS:
First, there are fundamental pieces of information in this book that is important. For instance, due diligence, that's a necessity.
CONS:
But the book itself doesn't offer anything specific. What I mean is, this is more of a book on how to have the proper attitude and the proper mindset. It isn't a step by step manual on how to conduct real estate deals you want in the high end market. If you are looking for a how to book, this is the wrong book for you. If you want to "feel" good and "think" rich, then this would tickle your curiosity.
ALTERNATIVES:
There are solid books that are less motivational and more actionable. Here are some starting suggestions:
