5.0 out of 5 stars An outline to guide you to your real estate millionaire status., July 2, 2005

This review is from: The Millionaire Real Estate Investor (Paperback)

An excellent book. You should know that I have read well over 200 books on real estate investing. And been investing seriously in real estate for over 25 years, as well as teach seminars on the topic. And this is the best book on the topic to come out recently. I predict it will be a classic, on the scale of William Nickerson's "How I Turned $1000 into Five Million in Real Estate in My Spare Time," no longer in publication. The writing is clear and simple. Most of the examples are investing in single family houses, so most people could start investing using this guide. The volume covers a vast range of issues related to being a successful real estate investor. You should be aware however, this is a "theoretical" or overview volume. There is not a lot of detail on how to impliment any one investment strategy. But it does give you a grounding in how real estate investing works. It gives you the guidelines for how to develop your real estate investing business. The only part I disagree with is the need to have a bunch of other people surround you as you build up your wealth. All the multimillionaire real estate investors I hang around with did it pretty much on their own. Maybe that just means we have different personalities. Other than that, however, I'm impressed--and there are few books on the topic that will inpress me these days. This is a far better investment than a $3,000 week-end seminar. You will get more from it and at a pittance of the price. I will definitely add this to my list of recommended real estate investment books. Ronald Starr***[e-mail]

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for growing any type of business, April 27, 2005

This review is from: The Millionaire Real Estate Investor (Paperback)

Gary Keller's two books "The Millionaire Real Estate Agent" and "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" are the best books on the market for real estate professionals, and there's not even a close second. Beyond that, though, together they are far and away the most practical and effective roadmap for laying the foundation for any growing business. Not only that, these books are packed with incredible wisdom for living an effective life. For example, I use Keller's advice on accountability not only to do a better job of running my business, but also to be a more effective parent. I also find myself frequently referencing the powerful ideas included in these books in my speeches on values-based life and leadership skills.

You will want to read these books with pen and highlighter in hand, and you will find yourself returning frequently to remind and refresh yourself of the many valuable ideas that are hidden away in these incredible textbooks for a successful business and a successful life.

4.0 out of 5 stars College Student's Review, March 21, 2006

This review is from: The Millionaire Real Estate Investor (Paperback)

I think this is a great book for those who are looking into investing in real estate. This book will not tell you exactly how to buy real estate. I don't think that was the point of the book. After reading it I feel more confident now about why investing in real estate is a great idea. This book does give you a good foundation on real estate investing; it covers topics on a broader scale rather than telling you exactly what to do.

This book would be very usefull if you are:
Interested in real estate and would like to know more.
You are about to invest.
Have never thought about real estate as an investment.
Or if you have any doubts and questions.

It would not be usefull if you are:
A real estate agent.
You already have investment properties.
Or if you already have a good foundation in real estate knowledge.
