1 Short, Pithy, Practical-Thumbs Up!
This book is like sitting down and brainstorming with a roomful of friends and mentors who share their "good, bad, and ugly" stories about real estate investing. It is not only very accessible because of its short story anthology style, it has 100's of practical ideas for every investor. The stories inspire, without glossing over the very real difficulties of real estate investing. It is both entertaining and useful. I hope there is a sequel in the works.
2 GET THIS BOOK IF YOU PLAN TO OWN RENTAL PROP.
This is an excellent read to really get an understanding of how well and how poorly managing rental properties can be. It is a short read filled with stories of rental property owners. I've read several books over the past couple months. This is definitely worth your time. If nothing else, you will walk away with stories with possible solutions to reference for your future.
This does not cover financing properties much at all, but it is not the point of the book. I'm now reading "The Weekend Millionaire's Secrets to Investing in Real Estate"- corny title but this book is also excellent...it reviews financing more in detail.
