 Best book - Always recommended November 14, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book (and the software sold by the author) provide an excellent strategy to look at and purchase income producing property. I recommend it often to my clients who come to me for real estate advice as part of financial planning. Most importantly, it shows you which properties not to buy. Of my 20 or so books used as reference material on real estate this is my most used and recommended book.
A Must Read For Anyone Thinking About Jumping In To Multi-Unit Investing November 12, 2007
Steve Berges has put together a well thought out and informative book for the beginning to intermediate level multi-unit apartment investor. He lays it all out: recognizing value, financial analysis, negotiating strategies, and financing alternatives. He also uses real world case studies to help the reader to better understand the principles he teaches. I've personally given this book to new agents in my company as a primer for them to get familiar with apartment investing.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I should say that I am an attorney, real estate broker, investor, trainer, and author of another unique and highly readable book on real estate investing that can also be found here on Amazon -- The WealthLoop Series Beginner's Guide to Building Wealth Buying Houses: The Foolproof Roadmap to Real Estate Riches Without the Risks and Hassles of Landlording. You might want to check out the companion CD too -- The WealthLoop Series Beginner's Guide to Building Wealth Buying Houses (Combo Audio/Data CD): Author's Audio Commentary Plus Downloadable 32-page Marketing Manual, Checklists, Spreadsheets, and Forms.
A related program that's well worth checking out is:
The WealthLoop Series Beginner's Guide to Personal Wealth Creation (Combo Audio/Data CD): Audio Seminar With Downloadable 40-Page Action Manual and Active Link Library.
I believe that Berges has written an informative book that's worthy of your time. Buy it if you are serious about making a success of multi-unit real estate investing.
A Great Introductory Investment Real Estate Overview May 15, 2007

I've read several realestate investment books and this is the most comprehensive. It covers all aspects of finding, negotiating, financing and managing apartment building investments. Additional reading and investigation will still be required; however this is a great place to begin.
Great Read, Extremely Valuable. April 22, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
With all the hype out there in the real estate investing space, it's refreshing to read a book that is honest, intellectual, and driven by a solid foundation in financial analysis.
Steve Berges does an outstanding job of walking the reader through general concepts, straight-forward examples, and detailed case studies. The financial analysis might be a little overwhelming to someone who is being introduced to so many financial concepts for the first time. If you don't have an understanding of finance, I'd recommend hitting Google or a Finance textbook to help get through the financial sections.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and thought it was packed full of valuable tips and information. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in adding apartment buildings to their real estate repertoire.
 If you don't yet know how you want to invest..... April 11, 2007

...this is an excellent read. I had never given apartments a thought until reading Steve Berges. Now they are in the mix. The charts in Chapter 8 are a bit tedious, especially to a beginner, but by the time you get to the end of the book, you will know if buying and selling (or keeping) apartments is for you. Pay attention to what Berges says about the value play (Chapter4).
