Good Theory but bad numbers,
By A Real Estate Millionaire (San Diego California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Estate Investments and How to Make Them (Paperback)
The book is good for opening the readers mind to the possibilities of real estate investing. I was amazed at the number of miscalculations and typing errors counting nearly 100. I have an advanced degree in Finance and found this book to be horribly inaccurate, as far as the numbers. Some of the rates of loans, inflation, and Caps you will never see in your lifetime. Based on his numbers property values would have to be half of their current value and produce the same income. Good for principals for the very beginner, please read other books before you really invest or you will have a rude awakening. I recommend a college text. If you don't understand it you have no business investing in real estate.

This review is from: Real Estate Investments and How to Make Them (Paperback)
After looking around for several years and trying to decide on exactly what venture I should go into I decided on real estate. I was browsing the shelves at Borders and just came upon this book. I picked it up and finished it in about 8 days. The book is written in a plain and practical manner. A very conversational style so that the author actually is speaking with you and not at you. The book offers some very practical, step by step suggestions that can be applied in real world situations. He provides numerous charts, graphs and tables that can be used when doing your property research. This can be applied to commercial and residential property. I am a total novice when it comes to real estate investing and I am actually thinking about getting my license here in NY. In addition to this book I would suggest that you read a few others just so you can get a well rounded idea of just exactly you might be getting into. The author does declare not to jump into things but once you find the right property - jump on it and go for it. Many a great deal have been lost due to fear and hesitation. I also highly suggest you read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "The Richest Man in Babylon"

basic beginners book. A little better at the math than most, in that it actually covers numbers. Yes, the book is 8 yrs old and the interest rates used are a little out of line, but the formulas are the same. One beef I have with books like these is that they rely way too much on appreciation to make an investment successful. Tanzer uses 5%! Yes this happens in certain areas, but never on a consistent basis, and definitely not in all areas. The way to invest and not speculate is to not count on inflation or even appreciation in your purchase numbers, then when it happens its just tacked on as a bonus when you sell the property. His info on where to find funds is pretty basic. Laughable when he gets to "Sources You May Have Overlooked" and his big idea is, drumroll please....family and friends! Puh-lease! Some versions come with a disk tutorial. Did not review this.
