"Filled with practical workable advice for anyone wanting to build wealth." -- – Mike Summey co-author of the best selling The Weekend Millionaire’s Secrets to Investing in Real Estate

"On my scale of one to 10, it rates a solid 10." -- Robert J. Bruss, Inman News Features

Product Description

Forget the old paradigm of financial success—that a big house, a fancy car and a great job mean you’ve made it. True financial wealth has a different measure—it’s about having the unearned income to finance your life mission without having to work. Gary Keller, best-selling author and self-made millionaire, teaches you what school never did—how to leave the daily grind and acquire long-term financial freedom through investing real estate.

 

The Millionaire Real Estate Investor offers straightforward strategies and wisdom gleaned from research and interviews with over 120 real life millionaire real estate investors. Ordinary people who have achieved extraordinary financial success. Like Wendy Patton who bought her first investment property when she was living in a hotel, made just $20,000 a year and owed as much in student loans—Wendy has since sold over 600 homes. Like Carlos Herbon who immigrated to the US with only $120 in his pocket and who now owns over 250 rental units and his own property management company….  The Millionaire Real Estate Investor is the first investment book to take a serious look at how anyone can achieve financial freedom.

 

Learn how to:

• Think Like a Million: Develop the mind-set and financial strategies of a millionaire investor

•  Buy a Million: Amass a portfolio with a market value of a million dollars

•  Own a Million: Turn investments into a business with ever-increasing net worth

•  Receive a Million: Build an investment empire that provides a million dollars a year in passive income

 

A blend of insights, instruction and inspiration, The Millionaire Real Estate Investor is a priceless tool for novice and veteran alike.

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

By	Ronald Starr (Oakland, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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]

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

By	Jeremy Callaway "Callaway" (Austin) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Of all my real estate investments... this book ranks #1, May 17, 2005

By	Marc Davison (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My daily mail arrived as it does each day at 3:00. A stuffed Express Mail packet at the bottom of the stack catches my attention. It's my copy of 'The Millionaire RE Investor.' I fan the pages casually when the phone rings. It's my 3:00 appointment. The conversation ensues while I hold open to page one. I'll read it after the call. First few pages. Then shelve it. After all, I have a technology company to run and a big contract to close.

3:35 - deal completed. Another notch on a belt riddled with notches. Gonna need a new belt pretty soon. I look down and think back on all the books responsible for my success. Both personal and business. Books that honed my skill to reel in the type of contracts that grow companies. That can be closed in a 35-minute call.

I scan page one. Basically I'm not committing. After all, I'm an experienced investor. What I don't know I can fit into ...

... this entire book. 75 pages later. It's 5:35. I've held all calls. Put off my end of day meetings with staff. It's me and Keller. The Millionaire Real Estate Investor. The book comes home with me. I take it to bed. And proceed to stay up until 4:00 a.m. and just about finish it. And I thought only Dan Brown and Elmore Leonard could do that to me.

8:00 a.m. I'm back at my desk. A Starbucks IV inserted into my veins. My conference bridge has my mortgage guy here in CA. My Cyberstar Realtor in Portland. My financial planner in NYC. I'm orchestrating a real estate deal I never thought possible. And it was there under my nose all the time. Only two things could have made this happen; a nose job or this book.

Kellers book is for those who invest. But truthfully it's really for those who don't or who will someday. The psychological path Keller takes especially in the re-enacted dialogue with his students throughout, reads with a Hollywood script like fluidity. Think Mamet. Calculated. Pinpoint. With a clarity that marks Keller as not just a great thinker and teacher but as a great writer as well.

To that end, it is going to be a while before the book finds its home on the shelf. I have 4 children and this is going to be their required reading. Not out of greed to amass fortunes. But for reasons far nobler than you could imagine. Read and become enlightened.
