I personally really liked this book. I refer to it when I want ideas for improving on a property that I'm looking at. I also trust Dolf de Roos because he was one of the first Rich Dad Advisors with Robert Kiyosaki. To me, that says a lot in establishing his credibility, because Kiyosaki's books are excellent.

I find it interesting one of the reviewers below hates Dolf de Roos so much, yet has taken the time to read all his books and attend his seminars. ... if I read one book or attended a seminar by a particular author and didn't like it, I certainly wouldn't go out and buy all of their works.

Anyway, I would say this book is not a comprehensive guide to real estate investing. It is more of a book with some simple tips you can use to improve the value of your property. I view it as a good companion to other books I already have.

If you're looking for a course on Real Estate Investing, this is not it! If you're looking for tips on how to improve your cashflow or build equity, then this is a good resource.

To the reviewer who said he would spend the money on paint instead, I say first buy this book and actually read it, then go out and buy some paint, but first, you will have to buy some rental properties.

Isn't it funny how people who are not in this business bash authors like Dolf de Roos? I also get a kick out of the reviewer who says he hates Dolf de Roos, but buys all of his books and goes to all of his seminars! C'mon! If I bought a book by someone I didn't like, I'd be a darn fool to buy another one. Who are you trying to kid?

This book is all about making property improvements with minimal expenditures. You will find ways you never thought of before. I know I did.

Worth a read. For slightly more than the cost of a movie, you can get information that can make you a fortune and you can refer to it over and over and over again.

Thanks Dolf. Great book.

There is not much in this book that was surpricing. Most of the ideas you can think of are in here and then some.
I have been in RE investments for 2 years and I really liked every single one of the ideas in this book. There are ideas in this book that have made me thousands of dollars.
For less then $20 that is a great return on investment.

This book is a great real estate investment book, great addition to Real Estate Riches. Disregard the previous negative reviews obviously all written by the same person who also obviously never even read the book!

Dolf is a successful real estate investor who speaks from experience. Great book for real estate investors who want maximum real estate success.

This book contains simple, easy to implement yet ingenious ways to increase the value of your real estate without spending a fortune.

As a experienced real estate investor, I have used many of these techniques and can attest that they do indeed work. I also found out some new techniques as well.

People who merely write books but have no real R.E. investment background will not like this book.

Good book for those who want to make money.

The book is exactly what it says it is: 101 Ways to Massively Increase the Value of Your Real Estate. The author, Dolf de Roos, isn't trying to fool anyone. The format is clean and easy to read and provides good, solid ideas to apply to your own home or investment property.

Well worth a look.

This book is not worth it! The book only has about 80 pages of actual content and the content itself is pretty light. I agree with the other comment for this booking, its basically a rip off. If you happen to have this book at your local bookstore check it out there first, you'll be able to remember most of the better ideas after quickly flicking through it. Thats how much content there is!

The only remark I have is to those who gave negative reviews about this book. If you hate the book so much, why aren't you selling it for a low price on Amazon? There is only one used copy available for over $13.00. Sell your copies so that those who appreciate De Roos can buy it.

The author simply is an expert on how to add value to your real estate. I loved reading through the different ideas. Some cost more money than others, but the way the author describes it makes you want to buy real estate tomorrow and add value. For example, tenants like to have carports. They are willing to pay additional $80 per month which equates to $960 per year, and it costs approximately $1,000 to build them. So you get your money back in one year, and this addition increases the value of the property by $10,000. What a good deal! Some of the ideas are common sense, but from my experience, a lot of investors would benefit from them.

- Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market? Learn how to invest your money, how to pick stocks, and how to make money in the stock market

it delivers a couple good ideas, the best "creative" idea that I might not of thought of was "put a brighter watt light bulb in when showing the real estate because it makes the room look bigger" and "change the address numbers on the front of house"....other than that, the book only pointed out the obvious.
