After Cash Flow Qudrant, this one shows you how to make money.Interesting how the bashers keep saying that the real estate boom is over, yet real estate keeps getting better and better.The fact is that real estate is always a great investment, if you know why and how.Read this book and get the facts.

I'me new to real estate investing and I found this book very helpful. In particular, I enjoyed the sections on investing, financing and taxes.

If you want to invvest successfully in real estate, I highly recommend this book.

In fact, I wouldn't invest without it!

I like this book. Do not make the mistake of judging this book by it's size.

The sections on financing and taxes were especially valuable.

Advice is timely and powerful. If your goals is to become a real estate investor, read this book and prosper.

I have read many real estate books and found most say pretty much the same thing. This book by Dolf DeRoos is different.

You won't find 1,000+ pages of worthless drivel like some financial books, just meaty, powerful stuff that really works.

You'll want to add this one to your must read list. Great book.

As Andrew Carnegie said over 100 years ago; "More money has been made in real estate than in all industrial investments combined."I strongly suspect that the 1 star reviewers are stock market players concerned that this book will pull more investors from stocks into real estate.I'm a player in both stocks and real estate. My strategies in the stock market are very aggressive similiar to what the author teache in this book on real estate: high leverage with options and margin accounts, covered calls and dividend capturing for income and sect 29 tax credits to lower taxes. Real Estate Riches is a good little book. It explains the why, but not the how (I suspect there will be a followup book) but don't let that deter you from buying and reading this great book. It is packed with powerful information.For more on the how, I recommend Real Estate Money Machine.Finally, the indvidual that wrote that real estate is traditionally a lousy investment clearly does not know what he is talking about. REAL ESTATE IS A GREAT INVESTMENT.

There are many books on real estate investing. Unfortunately, many are written by writers only and many others are merely re gurgitated information from other books.

What makes Real Estate Riches different is that it is

1) Written by a real investor
2) Written by a successful investor
3) Offers Rich Dad's unique ideas

And that is why there are so many five star reviewers here. Great book. It worked for me.

I love these reviewers trying to bash Real Estate Riches, Mr. Kiyosaki, Dolf de Roos and other authors in the Rich Dad series. I have a millionaire friend named Marty. He made his fortune via real estate and business. Not coincidently, he practices the same techniques advised in the Rich Dad books. The system works folks.My friend Marty also butchers up the english language. When we go to the gym for example, he'll say "Lets go on the Threadmill (he means Treadmil)" Or after a workout he'll say "Lets get a boddle (he means bottle) of ice tea" He warns his salespeople not to make "misreputations" (he means misrepresentations). And when he calls for his sales people to get together, he'ss say."We're having a meetin (instead of meeting) tonight"This guy butchers up the English language is a Grammar and English teachers nightmare. But he is worth several million and is highly successful.His spelling is equally horrific and he frequently says that anybod wh has only one way to spell a word is not very original. He laughs all the way to the bank...There are plenty of other goods with excellent grammar and perfect spelling, but alas, I prefer a book written by people who are actually in the trenches makng real estate deals, er, like Kiyosaki, de Roos, Robert Allen, Wade Cook or my friend Marty in lieu of people who just write about it but have yet to make their first deal.Good book Mr. Kiyosaki and Mr. de Roos.

I found this great book by Dolf de Ross very stimulating and effective. It really turbo charged my real estate investing. Having read other books, I always came away dissappointed.

This one is different and better. Highly recommended.

I really don't understand the 1 star reviews regarding this excellent book. Makes me wonder if this reviewer just has a personal issue with RTK and his people. I have yet to read any articulate comments---just wrathing, anger and outrage. Sort of like listening to democrat hopefuls.

That being said, I found Real Estate Riches a excellent real estate book. There is technical information in this book. No it is not a large book, I believe that Dolf wanted this book to be different and left out information that is already in other books. Why repeat it here? I think RTK and Dolf were smart in sticking with this format.

As an experienced investor, I am looking for new information, not just the same information that has already been covered in a dozen or so books.

This book is excellent. If you fail to see the value of Real Estate Riches, then you probably won't see the value in real estate investing either.

Good book. Highly recommended. Thank you Dolf and RTK. Looking forward to your next foray.

I found this book to be very easy to read, and it should be. There is little, to no, hard information about securing a mortgage or evaluating the value of a property. The author, Dr. Dolf de Roos, spends most of the book formulating an arguement for Real Estate investing over the Stock Market as well as relaying some very nice anecdotes about property he's bought. I put down this book with the same information I picked it up with : buy undervalued property, look at a whole bunch of properties, evaluate the potential return on the property, tax laws can be your friend, and use as little as your own money as possible. There are some elementary formulas for calculating such things as your annual % return, but these are formulas you should be able to develop if you passed 5th grade.
I like the Rich Dad series of books and in general they can be very motivating. This was the fourth book in the series that I have read and I agree that it is by far the weakest. That said, the Rich Dad books should not be read by themselves. Thier anecdotal information should be supplemented with other books containing more formal knowledge, especially this one.
