Book Description

May 12, 2009
In a world where too many financial advisors do not follow their own advice, here is a book written by experts who practice what they preach and who will teach you how to thrive, not merely survive, during turbulent economic times. This is the real deal . . . The Real Book of Real Estate. The only thing better than one real estate expert teaching you how to invest and win is twenty-two real estate experts with that same mission. Robert Kiyosaki, bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has assembled an unrivaled cast of real estate wizards and trusted advisors with one purpose in mind: to share their knowledge and teach you to win in real estate. The Real Book of Real Estate will be your number one source as you decide the real estate niche that is perfect for you; as you navigate the ups, downs, and in betweens of the real estate market; and as you become the expert you know you can be. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or buying your first property, this is the one audiobook you can and will listen to over and over again in an up or down real estate market. Robert Kiyosaki’s team of real estate experts shows you how to: • Value a property • Lease a property and keep it leased • Find and buy foreclosures • Get financing • Entitle property • Find hidden investment opportunities • Protect your assets • Minimize taxes • Establish your own team of advisors


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Kiyosaki draws upon the counsel of 21 of his closest big business pals to prepare his audience to properly assess property values, locate foreclosures, lower taxes and even find hidden investment opportunities. The book couldn't come at a more appropriate time, given the rising number of home foreclosures, and luckily seasoned narrators Jim Bond, Sandra Burr and Bruce Reizen make listening an enjoyable and personable experience. Many such guides fail to reach listeners because of their less than inspired narrations; this talented cast not only injects life into their respective readings, but also manage to get the point across without sounding the least bit robotic. A Vanguard paperback (Reviews, May 25). (May)

Questions from Readers for Robert T. Kiyosaki

Q
It is an honor to have the opportunity to pose a question to you. I am an American attorney based permanently in Bangkok. I have a reasonable income but continue to occupy the wrong quadrant. My question: Foreigners (who are not married to Thai...

Hello and thank you for the question, I want to start off by saying that this is your life, your money and your decision. Asking for advice is good, but you must do your own research and ultimately make the decision. While one great advantage for real estate in the US is the 1031 exchange, it is certainly not the only advantage. Real estate generally has many tax and legal advantages. It also has the ability for one to take on great debt, have someone else (your tenants) pay off your debt while you keep the asset. I do not know the taxes or laws in Bangkok, but I would take the time to get educated about them to know if investing there is good for you. The idea of your turning over your hard earned money and giving it to someone else is the mindset that has eroded our society. It is a lazy mindset and one that refuses to take responsibility. If you do not know what to due with your money, then find out! Look at the four assets (commodities, paper, real estate and business) find out what interest you, get educated, build a team and take control of your future. It sounds like you have the start to a good real estate team in Austin. Leading a great team is the way to wealth. From what you've written, it sounds like you are missing a good broker to bring you the deals. Ask your existing team members for recommendations. Interview until you find a broker who has access to deal flow, understands the cash flow investing mindset and who invests him/herself. Once your team is solid, you will get the deals you need and have the ability to take advantage of the laws and tax benefits to real estate. You are off to a good start. Keep getting educated and build up your team.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reading for Real Estate Investors, October 19, 2009
By 
A. Ikeda (Woodland, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This book is worth it's weight in gold! I've liked all of Kiyosaki's books and courses but this one really stands out.

Mr. Kiyosaki has brought together some brilliant minds and what they wrote is easy to understand and makes absolute sense.

As an investor specializing in lease options, I tried to do it all on my own and got 4 contracts but then they were not with motivated sellers.

While reading this book, it became very clear to me the importance of having a team of people to help you out. My biggest take away is "Investing is a team sport." Yes, I know that's a 'no-brainer' but now I truly realize what he and the others who contributed are trying to say in this volume.

Lately, I've switched over to specializing in tax deeds and liens and the chapter on lien investing by Mr. Wheelright is very good - he makes it very simple and easy to understand.

I highly recommend this book. It is in the top 3 books on real estate investing that I've ever read, and I'm a book and seminar junkie. Get this book today!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Repetitive, March 2, 2010
Theres alot of information in this book in regards to RE, but most of it is geared towards Commercial RE as opposed to Residential RE. Being that this book is a compilation of 22 different people, it will repeat itself more than once. So I would recommend it for the info just be prepared for repetition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Tip book from a group of real estate professionals, April 6, 2010
If you want to gain some insights from real estate professionals do check out this book. It is like a tip book from a group of real estate professionals (investors, lawyers, accountants...) on their top past mistakes or right things they did. Learned couple of new ways to invest in real estate.

If you are just getting into real estate investing, first go read something from Ken McElroy, his books are more hands on.
