This review is from: How to Buy Real Estate Without a Down Payment in Any Market: Insider Secrets from the Experts Who Do It Every Day (Paperback)

It is said that real estate is the biggest and most profitable business in the world, but I didn't think I could ever afford to buy any more property until I read "How to Buy Real Estate Without a Down Payment in Any Market." I can not believe how much information is packed in this book. The writing is easy to understand, making it possible for anyone to benefit from purchasing property.
A retired real estate agent wrote this book to assist people who want to profit from buying real estate. The author advises that it is in the buyer's best interest to work with a realtor, but she also states that it is possible to successfully complete the process on your own.
The book lays out an easy to follow step-by-step process to aid investors in buying property with no money down and possible leaving the closing table with a sizable check plus your new property. The author also includes a complete glossary and a section of tips, hints, and reminders for real estate transactions that makes it an excellent resource for beginners and experts alike.
I would recommend this book to both people contemplating their first real estate purchase and as a reference book for seasoned professionals who make a living buying and selling real estate.

This review is from: How to Buy Real Estate Without a Down Payment in Any Market: Insider Secrets from the Experts Who Do It Every Day (Paperback)

Unlike the previous reviewer, I gleened a lot of useful info from this book. Susan Smith Alvis nails down the ins and outs of purchasing real estate for first time (or second, or fifth time) home buyers. With detailed instructions on how to get your finances together, what you can afford, and how to look for loans, she makes the complicated world of the real estate transaction seem simple.

The book is sectioned into subjects such as "Looking At Your Finances", "Creative Financing" and "Foreclosures", explaining each step in the process of home ownership. Interspersed with real life examples from realtors, the chapters build on each other, culminating in the sale of the home and its aftermath. Ms. Alvis even gives a list of things to do after purchase, such as changing the locks, keeping a home journal, and advertising rental property.

This is a must read for anyone buying their first home, or anyone who is purchasing property for financial gain (such as rental homes).

Thank you Susan. I feel that I should say that to you after reading your book "How to Buy Real Estate Without a Down Payment in Any Market: Insider Secrets from the Experts Who Do It Every Day". This book is a great asset to someone who is going to be purchasing property. I have bought 2 houses and found the entire process to be mind boggling trying to understand everything. Thanks to Susan's book I feel I am now prepared to continue purchasing more property, but I am going to do it feeling a whole lot more at ease.
