Summary: OK ok ok ok
Review: This book was ok, some good points ok, the part I do not agree with is having a property manager so you can run out and find more deals. Really I have experence with bad property managers what a joke. This book should show you the most key important point is to make money managing your own Real Estate ok, not paying some Property Company to keep eating your profits, how to buy and manage your own Real Estate is the true key to make you Wealthy in your spare time. This is book I thought is for the small time investor and seems written for some guy wanting to buy 100 single home units. I have a feeling there is a better book out there to explain what this book has passed bye. If someone out there can tell me please do.

Summary: Likely to Become a Classic
Review: This fateful pooling of separate talents has produced one of the real estate publishing phenomenas of this new century, and now I see that it is at the top of most of the real estate book charts. For the reader whose interest is in the nuts-and-bolts approach to buy/selling/investing, Summey's contribution may be the most valuable. His long experience in other business endeavors, as well as his life experiences, immediately shine through his practical, unaffected prose. He writes with authority and simple wisdom, points his readers in the direction of patience in the intricacies of learning the ropes. One thing that he cannot pass on except as advice is his noted determination and discipline. But his writing is inspirational enough to lead a beginning student in that direction. This is to take nothing from Roger Dawson's major contribution to negotiating, and it is here we realize that his experience is not only well grounded in discipline, but grows out of a major gift or talent. Both men show genius in what they do, and the marvel is that instead of conflict they were able to produce what is likely to become a classic in the genre.

Summary: You Can Change Your Financial Goal Strategy
Review: This is a great book. I'm a retired teacher and all my career I paid into retirement plans and social security hoping that they would take care of me in my retirement. I wish I'd bought one rental house a year the way they teach you in this book. I'd be ten times better off now.

Summary: Give this one a pass
Review: Well, yet one more example that we're in a real estate bubble. Four or five years ago, our financial salvation was in Internet companies; today it's real estate.This book was more of an autobiography. Despite its claims to the contrary, it is a get rich quick scheme. Real estate investing is more complicated that this book would lead one to believe. In reality, it's not as simple as churning property quickly. The real danger, as I see it, is people getting too highly leveraged when interest rates rise. Read between the lines. If the advice sounds too good to be true, discount it.
