While this book has basic helpful tips for beginners, I 100% guarantee there are far better books out there for those interested in investing in real estate. The two main areas that were helpful were the sections on the fha loan and 203k loan which only made up about 1/20 of the entire book. Other than that, the author references his personal website multiple times unnecessarily, tells us how he got his business started by then stating it is near impossible to do the same way because of restructured rules and etc, and lastly SO MANY ERRORS in his writing. Just the fact that nobody cared or took the time to look over this book to fix the errors is enough to tell me it is not worth reading. The mistakes included in the photo were just a few of the multiple that were found

Good content, horrible editing

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2018

I really want to like this book. The content is solid so far and there is a lot of useful information. However, the number of typos, errors, and distinct lack of care that went into producing this book is, frankly, embarrassing. Considering that the author is supposed to be the lead editor of BiggerPockets.com, it's rather ironic that this book is so horribly edited despite this being the second edition of the book. Even the back of the book, where one normally first decides if they want to buy the book, contains typos. It's honestly just distracting and a nuisance to have to deal with.

Probably meant for beginners like me

This was my first Real Estate Investing book to read and it was helpful. The way the author explains things is easy to understand, but this also seems like it's more intended for novice investors. I just finished Building Wealth One House at a Time and it got more into the numbers side of things, but still probably more for novice investors. I just started What Every Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow - definitely more advanced number crunching involved here.

I’ve learned a lot from this book. I was able to buy my four unit apartment with little money down since 4 units and smaller are treated as a single family home.

Great information...but:

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2017

Would-be real estate investors will learn a wealth of information in this well-written book. Several tools are laid out for you, and while some are a bit technical, the author uses plain English examples to make otherwise confusing tips and processes come to life.

Unfortunately, all great real estate deals rely on the initial seller getting a poor price for their property. Spin it any way you wish ("Clarence sold his home to a wholesaler and escaped the double mortgage payments that were drowning him!" He did, but got 60% of his home's value.), you cannot make money in real estate without somebody else losing money. Sure, there's the house flipping strategy where you buy cheap and restore the property, but even that's a situation where the seller loses because they can't afford the repairs themselves.

To the author's credit, he recommends strictly ethical practices, finding "great deals" notwithstanding. There are certainly a number of dirty tricks that allow a savvy person to take advantage of those with meager means or poor credit. The author warns sternly against these, and gives some genuinely useful advice for creatively investing without fleecing those who are down on their luck.

It is worth mentioning that the author seems genuinely motivated to teach, rather than trying to make his fortune by selling you and endless string of books to teach you how to make yours. Most of the additional resources mentioned are free, and other books mentioned are usually written by other authors.

As with any investment, there are numerous hazards and pitfalls; perhaps more here due to the "no or low money down" approach. But, the author does identify these, and gives appropriate words of warning. Anybody can creatively invest in real estate, but it is clear that not everybody should.

Great, quick read

Super easy read. I finished it in two days. I cannot count the amount of typos of grammatical errors on my fingers and toes (there are a lot...I really question who edited this book), however I still love it. It takes many concepts and breaks them down very practically and when possible uses real life scenarios and investor's experience in certain areas of real estate investing to educate the reader. I found it to be a very valuable read.

What a Great read

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

If you want to read a book about investing, I highly recommend Brandon's book. If you want to be lied to and sent on another guys gourney with no point of direction then this is not the book for you. Brandon does a great job in laying it in easy to follow direction for you to follow and the read was interesting the entire time. I think if it weren't for people like Brandon who actually want to see you succeed, the concept of investing would seem to only be for the rich, but Brandon definitely shows you that anyone with the passion can do it.

Excellent foray into real estate investing

I dipped my toes into the water of real estate investing about three weeks ago, buying my first course online. As a lifelong renter whose parents built their own house, I’m about as new to real estate as they come. However, this book takes you by the hand and walks you through some amazing (and amazingly easy) investment strategies - all with examples using real life situations to help make it click.

Some useful information about different ways to finance an investment property. Other than that it’s not terribly informative or unique, I probably had about 5 key takeaways (5 useful chapters in total).
