With the housing market in slump, and the economy in the doldrums, would you believe you could still make money in real estate?

Peebles insists you can.

Not that he suggests you can make money in all markets. "Detroit, the auto capital of the United States, has terrible fundamentals" (p 42). Atlanta, however, seems to have better fundamentals.

The book gives you a crash course in valuation. And how to use the government to help you--for example, "the Rehabilitation Loan program, which lets you borrow the money you need to fix up a property" (p 73.)

Key to investment is knowiing how to judge different regionsof the country. Indicators such as good job groawth, for example, will help in recovery. He takes you through the techniques of buying and selling, and how to negotiate.

I was, however, disturbed by his information on how to threaten to sue the developer to make more money.

Still, overall, a book that will help you with real estate.

The Peebles Path to Real Estate Wealth: How to Make Money in Any Market

Having read Don's last book, I could not wait to buy and read this one. It was an absolute let down. Its a book written for the average joe with little understanding of real estate. If his last book was a 10 out of 10, this book is a two at best. Thank god it was in paper back. It would not be worth the money in hard cover. Sorry Don. I still love you and think you an inspiration. Better luck next time.
