5.0 out of 5 stars The book that started it all!
My intro to Robert Allen was actually through his book Creating Wealth over 20 years ago! After reading Creating Wealth I added this book and went to work investing in R.E. the Robert Allen way. And just in time too. In 1986 the democrats pushed congress to pass new policies in the tax code taking away the huge tax deductions that the ultra rich were enjoying in R.E...

3.0 out of 5 stars More hype than nuts and bolts.
Although the book is very informative as far as being immaginative in Real Estate transactions, Mr. Allen never gives any details of his deals. This book is responsible however for me buying several houses with a little elbow grease and some ideas generatded with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that started it all!, September 24, 2005
My intro to Robert Allen was actually through his book Creating Wealth over 20 years ago! After reading Creating Wealth I added this book and went to work investing in R.E. the Robert Allen way. And just in time too. In 1986 the democrats pushed congress to pass new policies in the tax code taking away the huge tax deductions that the ultra rich were enjoying in R.E. This created an incredible selling market for the uninformed and an incredible buying opportunity for Bob Allen students who understood Real Estate.

What Bob Allen predicted in Creating Wealth about the "Upcoming Enormous Profit in Discounted Mortgages" also became fact and many of us enjoyed incredible 20%-50% or higher returns (and still are today) with this fantastic strategy.

I have since replaced my original dog eared copy of Nothing Down with Nothing Down for the 90's.

Bob Allen, great book. Thank you!

This review is from: Nothing Down: How to Buy Real Estate With Little or No Money Down (Hardcover)
So straight forward.

Even 30+ years after it was written, its still relevant to the real estate market - everywhere.

Let this be your property investment bible.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nothing Down: How to Buy Real Estate With Little or No Money Down (Hardcover)
I bought my copy used and when it arrived, it was in pretty good condition, considering it was published in the 80's. I will say this about the book, if you plan on investing a dime in real estate, that's 10 pennies, you must read this book first!

5.0 out of 5 stars The All-Time Real Estate Classic, September 24, 2005
I came across this copy in a used book store. I bought it for a few bucks but it has made a small fortune for me. Nothing Down provides all the strategies you need to take advantage of real estate investing and launch yourself to financial self reliance.

This book has a very special place in my library and in my heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Allen's classic! Still a best seller., September 27, 2005
By 
This review is from: Nothing Down: How to Buy Real Estate With Little or No Money Down (Hardcover)
This was the book that piqued my interest in real estate. The two words that got my attention were "Nothing Down" because at that time, I had nothing to put down on a property.

While many have followed, Allen was the first to bring to the masses the efficacy of using No Money Down techniques.

These techniques are time tested and proven. They work. This version started it all. I would recommend that you get Nothing Down 2000 which is the newest, update version.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boycott Robert G. Allen!!!, May 19, 2006
This review is from: Nothing Down: How to Buy Real Estate With Little or No Money Down (Hardcover)
Robert G. Allen is a notorious and relentless internet spammer. If you should happen to somehow end up on one of his email lists like I did, he will send you several junk emails a day. Unsubscribing doesn't work, and trying to block the sender's domain is useless because the emails are sent from a different domain every time. The funny part is that the emails aren't even coded properly. They always show up as just a bunch of html code. Would you really take internet money-making advice from a guy who can't even code html properly? Anyway, his spamming practices are completely illegal and it's only a matter of time before the law catches up with him. But that shouldn't come as any surprise considering that mister Allen has been in trouble with the law before. He's had several run-ins with the IRS, lawsuits against him, and a chapter 7 bankruptcy. I would also stay away from his Nothing Down real estate methods. Many of those practices are illegal, and the president of the Nothing Down club in Atlanta wound up in federal prison because of it. For more info on Allen, visit johntreed dottcomm, click on Real Estate Investing, then click Real Estate Guru Ratings. Bottom line, don't trust this guy and don't buy his books. And if you're reading this Mr. Allen, take me off your @%#&*$ mailing list!!!
