Summary: Not bad . . . actually among the better Rich Dad books
Review: Kiyosaki's first book has some value for getting people to perhaps think differently about money. I have found the other books in the Rich Dad series to be repetitious and paltry in terms of content. - - This book by Kennedy is actually not too bad as a bare introduction to tax & legal issues for beginners who know absolutely nothing on the subject. Because it is really directed at beginners, I rated it higher than the ranking I was going to give initially. - - -

Summary: Great Book, I love it!
Review: Real Estate Loopholes provides clear real estate information not found in other books. It is the most useful real estate book I have ever picked up. Very beneficial and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in succeeding in the real estate business!

Summary: don't believe the hype
Review: Sadly, the tile "Real Estate Loopholes" is a misnomer -- this book is fluff and little more. Just count the "stories" which are basically filler (something to beef up two or three true "loopholes," which, by the way, you'd be much better off reading about in the Ernst & Young tax guide 2003. Save your money...mtb

Summary: Great Prep for a Meeting with Lawyer and Acct.
Review: Some reviewers have mentioned the fact that this doesn't delve into specifics enough, and that all it does do is give you a list of questions to take with you to ask a real estate lawyer or an accountant. While this is true, I feel that is not necessarily a negative. No book should have pretend to have all the answers, especially when talking about real estate, where there are many variables that make each situation unique. So yes, it does not give you definite answers, but it is valuable as a preparation tool and as examples of possibilities.

Review: Tax strategist Diane Kennedy and corporate attorney Garrett Sutton combine their knowledge in Real Estate Loop-Holes: Secrets Of Successful Real Estate Investing, a practical guide to the tax and legal strategies that wealthy people have used for generations to make the most out of real estate investments. From protecting one's assets from tenants and creditors, to using one's own home to make money tax-free, to choosing the right properties in local markets and much more, Real Estate Loop-Holes is very strongly recommended reading for anyone seeking to broadening their property holdings and turn a consistent profit while doing so.

Summary: Plug for other products - all fluff
Review: The authors of this book touch on many subjects, giving very little detail in any of them. The legal and accounting loopholes are very basic - and they keep referring you to other products and sites they've written/published - making this book one big commercial. In one area, when talking about the benefits of real estate investment, the fail to even mention costs associated with using equity, cash flow, repairs, etc. I am a new entrant to real estate investing, and would not recommend this book to anyone. It is no different than the get rich quick schemes you see on tv/internet.
