Book Description

August 1, 1995
Russ Whitney has made millions through real estate now you can, too!

Russ Whitney was a twenty-year-old high school dropout working in a slaughterhouse for five dollars an hour when he set out to become a millionaire. Armed primarily with guts and determination, he became one of America's youngest self-made millionaires by the age of twenty-seven.

Russ Whitney is living proof that you don't need formal education, capital, or even credit to get rich. But what you do need is a plan: a practical program of tried-and-true moneymaking techniques to help make your own financial dreams come true. In "Building Wealth, " Whitney shares the very strategies that have helped thousands nationwide duplicate his successes. Learn how to:

  • Get start-up money, no matter how much or how little cash you have in the bank

  • Turn that start-up capital into instant success -- in sixty days or less

  • Turn debt into huge amounts of cash

  • Make money -- whether the economy is up or down

  • Use other people's money to build your fortune

    Russ Whitney's sound, proven strategies will enable you to achieve financial freedom, to live the life you've always wanted, and to build a secure future for your family-tomorrow and for years to come.



  • Editorial Reviews

    From Booklist

    Although less well known than such other get-rich real estate gurus as Wayne Phillips ("government loans") or Robert Allen ("nothing down"), Whitney preaches a similar message: You can get rich in real estate by borrowing your way to wealth with government loans, seller financing, discount mortgages, and other such tactics. He also includes a heavy dose of Horatio Alger up-by-the-bootstraps positivism. Patrons will ask for this book. David Rouse --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

    Review

    Jimmy Calano CEO, CareerTrack Russ Whitney is wealthy now, but he started with a lot less than the average person reading this book. He can -- and will -- show you how to create a fortune out of virtually nothing. In this fast-reading, easy-to-understand book, you'll learn a wealth-building system that you can start using tomorrow. -- Review

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspirational Starting Point! August 23, 1999
    By A Customer
    Format:Paperback
    Sure, Russ Whitney may well be an expensive fraud to meet in person - as a number of emails I have read suggest, but you cannot allow this to detract from the impact that believing in this book may have on your life.

    All Russ provides in this book is the starting framework, the ideas, and most importantly the real life examples and experiences for your reference. All of the ideas in his book can be found in any number of other texts and that is just the beauty of it all!! - Whitney is trying (successfully) to open the readers mind up to the fact that you don't require new secrets to build wealth. All you need is a burning desire, a framework, and most of all FAITH in your ability to get off your butt and take action to succeed!!

    I am from New Zealand and my wife and I have gone from being hugely in debt to owning 3 units in 15 months, with more on the way. Hardly any of Whitney's techniques work in our market, however, he, and all of the books that I have read since, extoll the power of flexibility and thats what we have done - with what I think has been great success.

    Read this book have faith and TAKE ACTION! PS Russ - clean up your act on the seminar scams!!

    Russ Whitney's book was just the information I needed to begin my ascension from bankruptcy to financial independence. I saw an ad in the newspaper for an investment seminar he was sponsoring. While there was no way I could afford to attend it, the book was the perfect solution. I bought it. I was completely riveted, motivated and inspired. I couldn't help but take action on the concepts he detailed. Within one month of reading the book, I bought my first investment property. Within 10 months I had nine more. I, of course, had no money and bad credit at the time and was able to overcome it all with the information he provided. His style is relaxed and easy to read. He takes a complicated financial subject and makes it possible for the layman to assimilate and put into practice. He made me feel that if he could achieve wealth rising from a $5 an hour job as a hog slaughterer that anyone could. I believed him and it sure paid off. I'm now working on a success story of my own! I highly recommend this book as a must for any would be investor. Even now as an accomplished and experienced investor, rereading the book still provides me with new insights and I now see different levels of techniques to try. If you are not inspired and educated by this book, you may be completely without passion! Get the book, you'll be glad you did!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Russ Whitney changed my life! June 19, 2000
    By Tim V
    Format:Paperback
    Russ Whitney's Book on Building Wealth paved the way for people like me to go from nothing, actually less than nothing, to now being a full-time real estate investor. The night I picked up Russ' book, I stayed up until 2am reading it, because I couldn't put it down. Russ' story is truly an inspiration to those who will LISTEN, and are ready to take action and control with their life(not whine). I did attend his training, my friend and I took every course that Russ offered. We are now both full time real estate investors, as are so many others who have taken the same path. I would like to Publicly thank Russ for Going the EXTRA MILE to offer, additional training for other's like me who are ready to make a change in their life. IT WORKED! THANK YOU Russ Whitney
