4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the beginning investor!
This book does some things very well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incredible
that a book about real estate (creating FINANCIAL independence no less), both residential and COMMERCIAL, and covers no math, no numbers. How can a book even propose to teach you about real estate and not tell you how to evaluate it? Real estate, or any investment for that matter, is ALL about the numbers.

This book does some things very well. It helps one decide whether real estate investment is right for them, it helps one to understand the benefits and/or drawbacks of investing in real estate, and it comprehensively describes the different types of real estate investments. Also, the processes and terminologies are all discussed in very understandable terms.

However, as with many real estate investment books, and perhaps understandably, it fails to go beyond the basics. If you are looking for a treatise on in-depth real estate investment analysis, this book probably is not for you.

With that said, it was a quick, fun, and inspiring read. I would certainly recommend it to someone is just starting out.

4.0 out of 5 stars realistic, but don't have enough technical and maths, June 10, 2004

This review is from: Making Money in Real Estate: How to Build Financial Independence with Residential and Commercial Property (Paperback)
well, with all the hype in real estate investment, the author took a more realistic approach. and this is good. real estate investment is not something we should rush in because it simply tie up the capital for a considerable amount of time. i like the author's realistic and pragmatic approach. but on the other hand, it lack the maths for illustration, which may help the reader to grasp the concept more solidly.. 4 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - very good overview!, November 28, 2005
This book delivers a very level view of real estate. It gives you lots of positive aspects of real estate investing to keep you enthusiastic. Responsibly, it also gives you several of the pitfalls to be avoided when starting out in real estate.

I definitely recommend this book if you are new to real estate or if you have a few properties under your belt. You won't regret buying this book!

This review is from: Making Money in Real Estate: How to Build Financial Independence with Residential and Commercial Property (Paperback)
that a book about real estate (creating FINANCIAL independence no less), both residential and COMMERCIAL, and covers no math, no numbers. How can a book even propose to teach you about real estate and not tell you how to evaluate it? Real estate, or any investment for that matter, is ALL about the numbers. The numbers it does include are so basic, anyone who tried to buy an apartment complex or commercial property using them would be slaughtered.
