If someone had a great idea on how to make money why would they tell everyone about it? Why not just got put your idea into practice and make all the money yourself? Because the author of this book is the nicest guy in history? I think it is because he can make more money selling you a bad idea than he can make exploiting the idea itself. That would mean the idea is not very good. Conclusion: Don't buy this book.

Another thing to note. All the other reviewers for this book that gave it four stars. Click on their names. They never reviewed a book before this one. Seem slightly suspicious? It does to me.

Run a search on Google for the title of this book. Find any sites that give a review? Find anything that would indicate how this book leapt to #1 on Amazon? Was the book discussed on any TV shows or on NPR or anywhere else? I didn't find anything.

Better yet, run a search on Google for the author of the book. That is where I found the interesting things.

Also go read the review for his other book: Emerging Real Estate Markets: How to Find and Profit from Up-and-Coming Areas

Here is what a reviewer had to say about that book:
Although the book discusses emerging markets (local markets on the upswing) this is standard advice given in any real estate book. It's not like the whole book specializes on that topic. The book focuses on multi-unit apartment buildings.

More accurate title: Decent book on investing in multi-unit apartments and lots of plugs for my website and products.

I have been an investor and rehabbing for several years with single and dual family homes. During this time I have read several books on Multi Family Apartment ownership. For some time I have wanted to move on to larger units but was concerned that I didn't have the knowledge to move forward. Each time I finished reading the other books I came away still feeling I needed more practical information to move forward. After reading Dave's book I came away feeling it's time to make the move (to take action). I have now started putting my team together following the advise Dave outlines in this book. So far it is working great.

I love this book! Dave spoke at my REI club a few years ago and I went to the 1 day seminar that followed. Dave was able to answer all my questions on the subject of owning multi-families (namely dup, tri, and quadplexes).
I was afraid to get out of my comfort zone (single families) but when dave laid out how he felt the same fear that I did and truthfully...YOU are probably feeling I thought...F%&* it!!
This book is a definite short cut for you. And it's a steal!! What does it cost? $15-$20 bucks!!
Even though I regularly buy and sell multi-families and think I know it all, Dave's book has tons of chunks of meat and potatoes for me to still go through. It's works really great with the way the market is and real estate is available for pennies on the dollar.

I read this book cover to cover in one weekend and took notes along the way. If you are a novice investor, Mr Lindahl gives you some excellent information about investing in apartment buildings. Having said that, it is also apparent that Mr Lindahl has taken some significant risks in building his portfolio, both with his own money and with other people's money. Many of the examples he gives would take some serious cash because his deals make their greatest gain thorough what he calls repositioning. But even if you aren't up for repositioning, the book gives some great direction to the practical steps in real estate investing that must be taken so you don't get railroaded into a bad deal on your first property.

I was quite impressed about the variety of information Dave has included, he basically guides you through all the steps you need to know to go out and make deals. I had his famous Multifamily riches set with CDs and books, it costs hundreds of dollars in the market but i find all the information you need is already in this book. He even says that you are able to make successful investments after reading and understanding the topics here. Thumbs up to Dave for squeezing up his years of experience into such a book ...a wealth of information essential for multifamily REIs.

A tell all step by step guide on how to make millions buying multi family units by the master himself! He leaves nothing to the imagination, but rather takes you by the hand and walks you into profits you have dreamed of! A must read for a timely time!

Dave continues to do it differently. He gives more information than the normal guru. However, I would like to have more. You need to read more than one of his books. He also tells the bad with the good. I have had rentals for over twenty years and can tell you I would much rather have no management hassels. Doing it wrong the first time can haunt you forever. I have emailed Dave in the past asking for answers to some of his ideas and gotten a timely response. I highly recommend this book.

A lot of real estate books are theory with the authors having no real experience in everything they talk about. Or on the opposite end of the spectrum there are real estate books that are all about "why" you should invest in real estate and are more motivitaional.

This book was a pleasant surprise. It gives a number of valuable tools to use and a ways to access more information. It focuses, obviously, on multi family properties but the information in this book can be applied to everything from tri-plexes on up. If you;ve got a deal or two under your belt and are looking to grow I highly recommend this book.

I would highly recommend you Buy this book if ur interested in multi-unit real estate investing! It will help you!

I had recently attended a quickie program with David Lindahl as the speaker. Lots of hype to buy. I did find this book very informative for the beginner to moderately informed multifamily investor.
