 Better than basic November 25, 2002

I don't know what BASICS (other review) is talking about. The financial models are explained, and it is not heavy on marketing his software. Outside of a financial textbook this is one of the better fundamentals books I have read. Stresses value play - in-out - approach, but the key financial ratios and it's points are very astute. If you are looking to get into the business this is a great introduction and, I would say, a must read.

This book is an easy read, but those who considered it the "best" real estate book out there may have been rotting their brains on no money down schemes (this book thankfully notes that beginning investors will not find a no money down investment property deal). If you are looking for Real Estate Investing 101, this is a good choice. If you already understand Cap Rates and NOI, and are confident in your ability to estimate the value of a property based on its financial statement, then pass on this book. All in all, the book is good but basic. Unfortunate that the tables presented in the text are not explained fully--the author prefers, I think, to sell you the software separately.
Excellent! October 28, 2002

Informative, succinct, ideal for both the novice investor and the more intermediate and seasoned investors who wish to reinforce these vital principles. I've read numerous real estate investment books and I must say this is one of the best ones out there!
The best book on real estate investing I have read so far August 23, 2002

I just received Steve's book and let me just say that I was totally blown away by the amount of info in this one book. It is clear that Steve is an expert on real estate investing- he doesn't give you any b.s info on the no money down approach but he offers a very sensible and intelligent approach to purchasing buildings. In no way am I an expert on the subject of real estate investing but i have read at least 10 books so far on this subject. By far, Steve comes across as the most experienced and seasoned real estate investor. If you are looking to invest in buildings, then look no further. Just buy this book...its all you need. Believe me, its that good. I am returning the "Income Stream"- it was a total waste of money compared to this book. You will not regret it.
Substantive and Well Written August 10, 2002

This is a well written, articulate book. It does not promise fabulous wriches or creative, bizzare financing to get rich quick with no money down. Instead, it offers systems of evaluation and analysis for investors in a real-life market.
