Summary: I disagree with the above review!
Review: As a physician who is interested in real estate investing, I have found this book to be enlightening and enjoyable. It teaches you to "think outside the box". There may be a "win-win" deal that you can put together by simply using these concepts, which would have eluded you using traditional thinking. For the price of a movie, I have found it much more useful and entertaining. I consider it a "must read" for those who are taking their money out of the stock market and putting it into real estate.

Summary: Get Rich Quick (for the Author)
Review: This is a get-rich-quick book... for the author. Save your money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth every penny!
Review: I've read a lot of books on real estate investing, and this is by far the best! Most real estate investing books give you a lot of general ideas, but no step-by-step information of how to apply those ideas. This book gives you very specific information that will take you as far as you want to go IF you apply the knowledge.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book Is For Real!
Review: I first heard Peter and David a few months ago when they were in Texas at a 2 day event that they put on at our REI Club and got a lot of great ideas. Before the event, I had heard of them from some friends of ours that lived in Nevada who had been though their Protégé program and which now have about 15 houses using the techniques they teach in this book.

So when I saw their book released, I went out and bought it the first day. I'm so glad that I did because I had a house that I had just picked up and was getting everything together to do a lease/option on. So because of this I started with chapter 5 "Selling Your Properties for Top Dollar". From that chapter I pick up some new ideas that I used on my latest deal that allow me to get $2000.00 dollars more from my tenants and have someone in the house before I had to make my first payment.

Bottomline the book helped me make $2000.00 dollars more than I would have and saved me a lot of time and money finding some new tenants.

"If you think you can or if you think you can't, YOUR RIGHT"

Summary: Great Fiction
Review: The authors are among the most skillful *marketers* I've seen - I'm unsure about their real estate competence. I've received emails hyping this book for several weeks through their mailing list, and I'm sure book sales reflect these tactics. Overall the book is well-written and easy to read. The success stories are highly motivational, but I don't believe the average investor should bet the farm on this method. The book is entertaining, but not a foundation to build a long-term investment plan upon.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Misleading and self-indulging
Review: Being the second licensed RE agent to rate the book, let me say the following:

I could not finish this book. I am always looking for ideas that offer an experienced investor a "lightbulb" moment. Unfortunately, I did not get that here.

My feeling is that this book is the result of an ego trip. After reading a portion of the book, I got the feeling that Conti/Finkel had written this book based on the mistaken belief that they could explain it better than those who had gone before.

In my opinion, they failed. Not enough depth to be of true value to a seasoned investor, but just enough depth to get a beginner into BIG trouble.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Information
Review: I highly recommend this book to anyone that is serious about investing in real estate. The information is not the standard fare that most real estate investing books provide. Peter and David share strategies that anyone can use, regardless of their economic situation and provide great case studies that prove their methods work. This book shows a much more more profitable side to investing versus the standard landlord trap or the fixer upper nightmare. If you're looking for a manual that will provide you with good, solid information, the information that you need to know to make a PROFIT in real estate investing this book is a great place to start. BUY IT, READ IT, DO IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Peter does it again!
Review: I am only 17 but have been interested in Real Estate for my whole life. When I was 16 I ordered Carleton Sheets 'No Down Payment' course. The course was fairly good, but I didn't feel it was a very safe way to start. Someone recommended I download a free E-Book written by Peter Conti and David Finkel called 'Multiple Streams of Income', it was eye-opening. The techniques that Peter teaches make so much sense and can work anywhere. Then Peter came out with his new book Making Big Money Investing in Real Estate: Without Tenants, Banks, or Rehab Projects and he just continues to write amazing material. I don't know where I'd be without Peter's books. A big thank you goes out to Peter!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A solid Read
Review: This book is one of those "must reads" in Creative Real Estate Investing. Lately, I've read on so many investing strategies, techniques and a handful are "fun and interesting", but this book really makes sense to me. Why would I want to be a landlord if I can reap the benefits without being one and maintain long-term profits AND low down payments, etc....I've read about lease-option, but this books talks in plain English what I need to know to get started---you will probably need more materials to move forward, if you have little or no experience in real estate. (I also read their first book, "Buying Properties in Nice homes with nothing down" immediately after reading this one, another solid book) This book talks in plain English, how to utilize different lease-option strategies and really gives a good 'step-by-step' action plan to get you buying properties. This is something you would have to put into action and try it out for yourself to see it work, opposed to just reading about it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Making BIG Money Investing in Real Estate: W/O Tennents,etc.
Review: This Guideline for any level investor is Absolutely, unequivacobly, the best, most practical, nuts & bolts source of information and assistance I have read in my three years of Real Estate work and investing. I ave paid so much more for LeGrand, Sheets, Bronchick, etc. All are good and have valuable ideas and techniques, but this text is brilliant for the price !
