You'll be surprised by this book, I was. It's not about unrealistic tricks (like using a personal note as a down payment, which was in the last book I read, and which a seller told me I was ridiculous when I tried it). It shows how to use government backed financing (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae) to get mortgages for more than 100 percent of your purchase costs. This book is solid - it tells exactly how to do it, every step. The best "nothing down" book I've ever read.

I found this book to be a good start, it didn't really go into much detail on how to get into a rental property with no money down. It did some, but is more of a basic book for starters. I myself am a starter, but was wanting to know more in depth than this book offered. Over all I thought it was an ok book. This is a good book to start with, but don't expect to become an expert from it.

Robert is very conservative in his Real Estate investing. He doesn't use much creativity (or at least doesn't mention it) in this book. Not to mention that this book was written in the big housing bubble, and therefore isn't quite clear about what to do in the case of a down-market. However the book has a lot of information about Real Estate that you should know (such as taxation, Landlording, etc), but if you want to make it BIG in Real Estate i suggest you only use this book as a reference not as a Bible.
