5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Advanced or Novice in Real Estate - Has it All., June 12, 2008
This review is from: Forecasting for Real Estate Wealth: Strategies for Outperforming Any Housing Market (Paperback)
This book is very comprehensive, yet easy to read. This book has it all, buying, selling, financing, forecast trending, foreclosures and a detailed method making money in the current market cycle.The book covers market trends, historicals and gives you 7 years worth of future projections in just about every area imagineable.

I own two properties (my home and an tri-plex), one of which I have been trying to sell, without any success. My biggest challenge presently is to sell my home and figure out if I should buy a new one or rent. After reading this material I have a lot more confidence that renting would be a bad idea. Meanwhile the author gave me a bunch of creative ways to expedite the sale my property. One of my concerns was that once I sell it, lenders will likely make it difficult for me to get financing for my next home. Again Ross detailed how to use other sources for financing, specifically in Chapter 6. This is a great book for answering the what type, where, and how much you spend on any property, even when the market is in a difficult period. The book has so much information that it is next to impossible to just read it once, or explain it in this review. It is a good book for the experienced investor who wants to make a lot of money in this real estate market, but also from my first read it was written simple enough to benefit any first time home buyer. It has a lot of complex calculators and algorithms for measuring the quality of a property, but then the author gives you free access to web sites so that you do not have to do anything manually. I would recommend this to just about all levels, novice or advanced, real estate buyers or sellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ross Is Boss, June 14, 2008
This review is from: Forecasting for Real Estate Wealth: Strategies for Outperforming Any Housing Market (Paperback)
Ed is best read.

Simply put, Ed Ross is real about real estate.

Look at his record: has owned over 200 properties and has custom-built, renovated and personally rented more than 100 dwellings and office buildings. And that's just data on the jacket.

The information on the 230 pages builds his case -- that you can make serious money. Even in this flopping housing market.

As Ed writes, it's all about doing your homework. With his textbook.

Ross spells it out clearly: 65% of our country will stall on the housing front until 2013. That's in keeping with his cyclical call of 2006 -- that we're in for seven years of drought.

Still, that leaves 35% in for rain. So natch he points to the Pacific Northwest for a floating housing market. In his Top 10 U.S. Cities section, Bellingham, Wash., comes out No. 1 and Bend, Ore., No. 2.

Why Bellingham? Says Ross: It's between two heavyweights in Seattle and Vancouver, directly in line of residential migration growth. Add the sharing of those two cultural meccas, thriving biz and Northwest lifestyle, and the sum question follows: What's not to like?

I edited Ed Ross' previous book, "The Spill Zone." The man knows real estate. Most of us don't. So ya gonna call? The Boss: Ross.
