4.0 out of 5 stars
An informative little book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Keys to Investing in Real Estate (Barron's Business Keys) (Paperback)
This is a great book to start if you want to get into Real Estate Investing. The book is organized into 51 chapters/Keys that provide short but concise explanation of important real estate investing concepts. The discussions are to the point, succinct, and very easy to grasp. The points are put forward in such a straight forward manner that it is very easy to remember. Because of its small size, I've also found it to be a highly useful reference guide.A few suggestions: Once you have grasped the concepts in this book, I would highly recommend Robert Campbell's book "Timing the Real Estate Market" to get a better sense of how the real estate market works. After that, Gary Eldred's book "Investing in Real Estate" to learn about negotiation techniques, financing options, finding deals etc. Finally, Andrew Tompos's "Analyzing Investment Properties" will give you an excellent knowledge on how to evaluate a real property by working through cash flow calculations etc.

This review is from: Keys to Investing in Real Estate (Barron's Business Keys) (Paperback)
During my MBA I took a class in real-estate investments and had to read this book. Trust me its a waste of money to buy this book. Most concepts are so obvious that you will find them if you google the terms. The author works out very childish examples which a third grade student can do. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK
