This book teaches you the fundamentals of long term Real Estate investing. This is not a get rich quick kind of book. This book helped me develop my Real Estate investment strategy. I learned how to evaluate property to ensure it meets my investment objectives, to ensure I do not overpay for property and how to evaluate my property on an ongoing basis to ensure it continues to meet my investment objectives. Before I was finished with the book people thought I was a professional investor because of my knowledge of Real Estate investing.

Real estate has proven in the past to be a very good investment for a very large number of people. Much of that has come from sheer luck as they bought a house kept it for many years and then solf it for a very good profit.

This book talks about how to treat real estate like any other investment. That is, the market goes up, and the market goes down. This is not one of those buy distressed property, perhaps cheating the little old lady that owns the house, fixing it up and selling it. Instead it's a pretty good study of every aspect of the real estate business.

All in all, I'd only add one thing, go get your real estate license and become a real estate salesman for a local agency. You'll learn about people, you'll learn about real estate in your area, and you'll see her principles in action.

What I really like about this book was that it is not a get rich quick scheme. It is solid, knowledgeable investing information to build wealth. Each chapter builds on the previous. There are many good examples in plain English. The book is well written and basically lays out how to really make money and understand real estate investing. A smart book for budding investors.

There are lots of books on the market hyping getting rich quick in Real Estate. These methods dont work. Lisa's book has a no nonsense, down to earth, time tested method for creating sustainable wealth using real estate. Since I read the book and started following her planning and follow up guidelines in the book I have increased my portfolio by several hundred thousand dollars. Its Awesome!

The cardinal rule in real estate is "location".
The author discusses the acquisition phase where
buyers acquire properties. Later on, once a
property inventory is developed, real estate
investors focus on managing equity in acquired
properties. Now is an excellent time to purchase
properties because the market is down substantially
in many places, although prime real estate always
commands a top selling price.

The author shows the power of price appreciation and
trading on the equity. Another important rule is to
seize golden opportunities when they present themselves.
Investors tend to analyze too much and the good deals
disappear while potential buyers are still analyzing
the deal.

Another important rule is to keep good tenants and
treat them well during recessions. Good real estate
investors know the market and take advantage of
peaks and valleys at the appropriate time.

I've done some real estate shopping and I can attest
to the fact that the deals are out there. Having said
that, potential investors need to do quality research
of local markets in order to identify the true gems.

As a licensed Realtor I found the book to be very informative and a joy to read. Her book is a step by step guide for anyone who is intersted in investing in real estate. The book was easy to understand and very helpful. I would reccomend it.

Lisa's book was a great read and gave me a wealth of knowledge of how to begin investing in real estate.

This book is the most ridiculous book I have ever read on real estate investing. With over 200+ books on the subject in our library and attending over 100 seminars, I have to say...dont waste your money on this one.
