This review is from: How to Make One Million Dollars in Real Estate in Three Years Starting With No Cash (Paperback)
Of the few dozen books I have read on the subject of real estate investing, this is perhaps the least desirable. This book rates high on incredible hype and low on any real substance. The author skips from one incredible deal to the next, showing how yes, you, your neighbor, or even the village idiot can make millions of dollars with virtually no risk, no expertise, and of course, no instruction on his part. As another reviewer stated, I always finish a book to search for those "pearls of wisdom" as well as to give an acurate review of the book as a whole. I found no pearls here.
If you want a good book on real estate, try Robert Allen or Wade Cook. If you want something to wrap fish in, buy this book.

Worst Real-Estate Book I've ever bought, April 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Make One Million Dollars in Real Estate in Three Years Starting With No Cash (Paperback)
This is basically a marketing ad for Mr. Hicks own publications. Very Impractical. His guide is summed up at the end of the book in about 3 pages. DON'T waste your money or time...

Don't bother, March 24, 1999

Don't even waste your time on this one. You can almost hear the infomercial. All this book does is promote the author's own business of newsletters, magazines, and other books on making money in real estate. It does not really give any concise plans or insider tips to truly making money in real estate investing. One would probably win a million dollars in the lottery quicker. The novice in real investing would be lost!
