Summary: In your face, uncommon sense! Outstanding!
Review: Although Whitney leaves the details of following his real estate wealth-building strategies to experiencing it for yourself, his refreshing candor and easily understood language makes this book a must read for all aspiring real estate investors. Every chapter provides proven advice and strategies that excite the reader to want to put the book down and copy Whitney's methods immediately.

Summary: Enthusiastic; good advice; just keep learning though
Review: First off, I don't think one basic book is going to prepare you for a serious real estate deal. So far, I've read about fifteen, listend to over two dozen tapes and spoken with a few people who are seriously doing it. Also, one of my friends swears by Russ Whitney and did his seminar and had a good experience with it. But, if you're going to start with a basic book to about real estate investing, this is a great one. I don't believe in some authors who want to be negative and tell you about all the bad things or tell you that you can't do it. According to a book I read about discount mortgages, something like 7 out of 10 people in the late 80s were millionaires from real estate. Granted, that may be lower with all the tech companies that turned some people into millionaires but I bet it's something like 6 out of 10 or 5 out of 10 still putting r/e into a majority. Conversely, the David study on day traders said something like 1 out of 64 traders make a profit. In other words, r/e is set up to help you win more than the stock market. The govt helps you by giving you tax breaks; banks are willing to loan you a good chunk of your money; as long as you have positive cashflow and r/e smarts, it can be profitable. A good book to start out with before this is Robert Kiyosaki's RICH DAD, POOR DAD. If you like that, continue with the rest. Then, come back to this book if you know r/e is your financial vehicle. Strongly recommend otherwise.

Summary: Easy Read/ Informative / You Can't Afford to Skip This One!
Review: Having not known anything about Real Estate or Russ Whitney before picking up this book, I find it so easy to understand. I finished the book within a couple days and I hang on to every word until I understand the point.This book also explains how anyone can repair their credit if they just had patience and used the outline techniques. In following Russ, I find it amazing that his students are successful and go on to actually teach at his trainings to show you how they did it through a proven system. That in its self tells you enough. Don't take someone else's word for it. Find out your self. Definitley worth the reading.

Summary: I have seen better
Review: Hi, I have read about 10 books about wealth creation and this one is not the best. This book is more about having a "great" attitude rather than real example of how to buy a property. The example in the books might work but the fact is to buy a location property you need money (at least some) or equity. This book make us dream but from my point of view the examples are far from my Canadian reality.

Summary: I would never recommend
Review: his biggest advice - a rooming house. For one good luck finding a house that has proper zoning for this. Politicians and neighborhoods hate these things. Not to mention the nightmare of the transient types you will attract. Also it's pretty dated as it still recommends buying RTC properties. The RTC died out years ago after the aftermath of the 80's real estate and S&L crash.
