 Real estate investing that everyone can understand. May 20, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Friends, I was concerned (somewhat :-) when I saw the Esq. after the author's name. I was expecting that the writing would be a little hard to understand (read too complex). But my fears were unfounded. Larry Loftis has written a book on a complex subject but has written it so that anyone can understand.
This book is logically divided into four parts:
1. To begin, Larry builds the case for real estate investment.
2. In the middle, he covers both the buying and the holding and selling processes.
3. To end, Larry summarizes and reiterates everything previously covered but shapes it into a comprehensive wealth-building plan which can be modified for each reader's specific circumstances.
The book focuses on multi-family residential properties but seems to me a good part of the logic translates to most any real estate property.
I don't think Larry set out to write a motivational book on real estate investing as much as an informational one; but, he so thoroughly lays out the "whats" and "what fors" that this reader got excited about the possibilities. Read this book and I dare you not to get excited too!

The book is well written not a 5 because like most money makers he manipulates numbers to creat the illusion of wealth.
 Beginners Book April 10, 2007

This book is not primarily based on investing in duplexes triplexes and quads as it states. As I was reading through this book number 1 its very very basic someone who doesn't know anything about real estate should read this book, and number 2 it doesn't teach you about duplexes it teaches you about any type of real estate. This book is not worth it. Period.
The Best Real Estate Book Ever! April 10, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Stop reading, just buy this book right now! Mr. Loftis wrote a simple, easy to understand book that clearly explains how to build wealth from real estate. I have spent hundreds of dollars on real estate books that were not easy to understand or were just too technical or complicated. What makes me so happy about this book is the real world examples and financial calculations he presents as you read step-by-step. I am 37 years old with 30 years left until I will retire. I will use this book to build wealth and create the rent free lifestyle I so desire to have.
email this book to everyone you know.
CONFIDENCE IN REAL ESTATE INVESTING April 1, 2007
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book clearly outline the 4 main objectives in Real Estate Investing. Such was supported & reinforced with multiple theorem, principles, concepts & practical applications. The best thing about this book,(which I like the most), the author is a new starter yet he multiplied his fortpolio in a very short period of time.
Himself as a beginner, he advocated duplex, tri & quad to spread the RISK & ensure constant stream of cash flow. I endorsed such idea since in many times I was squezze hard with 100% vacancy in my single homes & Condo investments. I dreaded whenever a tenant gives a 30 days move-out notice since replacement of responsible tenant is not that quick to find.
I improvised his concepts in a Condo unit I have by changing the Tenant. Instead of renting the whole unit to a family, I opted to rent it by the rooms particularly to single people. It changed my cash flow from negative to positive and would not again suffer any 100% vacancy in my Condo.
Another bright concepts he preached were the means of increasing your equity after the purchase. He espoused multiple approaches & supported it by facts and no wonder in a very short period, he multiplied his portfolio dramatically.
Since it's a buyer's market, I'm excited to hunt tri & quads as an additional portfolio. I'm more confident now since I know more how to buy a property and make a commision money from broker/agent. This is fun.
This book needs to be read by all who wants to get into wealth building. Anybody scared to take the first step, this is the book to read. This is not merely a motivational book but full of real bang to ensure your success. It's a confidence builder book and will take away your fear!
