This review is from: Real Estate Debt Can Make You Rich: What You Owe Today Is What You Will Be Worth Tomorrow (Paperback)

For the beginner it provides a good understanding of mortgage financing. I do think the writer failed on supporting his title in that it really gave no strategy,.

This review is from: Real Estate Debt Can Make You Rich: What You Owe Today Is What You Will Be Worth Tomorrow (Paperback)

Got good overview on whatch outs and not to do things in investment. Eye opener. first part tied in to what I was doing, which I thought was wrong. But what was more imoprtant, was the way I was figuring out what to do next. Lots of good information and explanations, specially for me, a begining investor.
