4.0 out of 5 stars
A good supplementary guide to real estate investing,
By Ron (North York, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The McGraw-Hill 36-Hour Real Estate Investment Course (Paperback)
This is an informative book and it helps the reader to set up a system to tackle real estate investing and in particular income producing properties. New information is listed and discussed in a clear and concise manner. It teaches the potential investor how to establish connections with local authorities and then how to gain more information via those relationships. It also gives you a lot of in depth information on real estate terms, ways to increase properties value, how to evaluate properties, and so on.The book is divided into 4 parts with each part answering to a question: Part I - How to Get Started in Real Estate Investing, Part II - How and Why Property Values Go Up and Down and What you can do about it, Part III - How to Find the Right Property to Buy, and Part IV - How to Buy and Sell Real Estate for a Profit. The only problem with this book is that it does not teach the new investor how to form a strategy or a framework to use all the great information in the book. (If you want help on creating a strategy or framework, check out Luigi Salvaneschi's book- "Location, Location, Location: How to select the best site for your business" (Luigi's book is more geared towards the retail industry, but its methodical approach in getting and analyzing data for your chosen location is, I think, still relevant.) Otherwise, this is a great reference manual with a lot of objective insights and useful information. Highly recommend.

Not for Beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: The McGraw-Hill 36-Hour Real Estate Investment Course (Paperback)
I do not think this is good book for beginners. This book does not truely teach you how to "Start your Investing".Mr. Cummings does go into great detail to explain local government and real estate professionals and how to contact them. I would recommend this book to seasoned investors who want to broaden their investment value rating systems and fine tune their operations. For me, it provided a couple of ideas on how to sharpen my own investments. I have invested in Real Estate Multi-families for four years now and may be able to put some of this book into practice. Beginners should look for a book that focuses more on the individual, their comfort level, and finding their first property.

This review is from: The McGraw-Hill 36-Hour Real Estate Investment Course (Paperback)
Should be titled "36-hour How To Become A Real Estate Insider." Covers very little on actual investing, mainly on how to meet the mover and shakers of your local real estate community. The type of thing you need to know to move up to the next level. Not the types of things you need to know if you are going to buy some rental houses. If you want to become a developer you would want to read this.
