Where, How and Why to BUY REAL ESTATE BEFORE 2009 is the very first book on the market to explain the pragmatic aspects of vacant land investment and real estate speculation in growing resort areas and college towns before 2009; the point in time at which land values will have appreciated the most drastically due to an historic and unprecedented migration by the Baby Boomers seeking vacation and retirement properties. The book explains the specific factors that contribute to this population shift and how best to see 10-30% OR MORE annual value appreciation on property purchased, and provides examples of up to 355% value appreciation within 10 months. Other topics address simple methods for boosting property values without waiting for the market to catch up, why $8 Trillion will be flooding into the Baby Boomers' pockets before 2010, and how to avoid capital gains on specific types of properties. Using insight, humor and many personal experiences in this cutting-! edge real estate investment book, the author presents in plain language the case that he and other professional investors are using to double the value of their investments within a year or two; a trend that will ONLY last until 2009.

1.0 out of 5 stars
not much info. title is misleading.,
By N. Desai "http://livingoffdividends.com" (san diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Where, How and Why to Buy Real Estate Before 2009 (Paperback)
i'm pretty amazed by the number of 5 star ratings.
its a small book. about 75 pages of material including a lot of irrelevant pictures of houses and not a single graph. the author does provide a lot of info on where and how to invest in real estate. but its very generic information and is basically summarized. i was expecting the answer to the title of the book, which i didnt get. [to be fair, i spent $550 to get that question answered] he doesn't even mention everywhere he's bought, just randomly some parts of florida and minnesota. he explained the 5th migration of investing in about one and a half pages. could definitely have provided more insight into it. i think the book(pamphlet really) should be renamed to "how to invest in real estate: a primer" or going by techie book trends "the 10 minute guide to investing in real estate". you get the idea that the author knows his stuff but you feel he's hiding the real meaty stuff.

Misleading Title - No Meat On This Bone,
By
This review is from: Where, How and Why to Buy Real Estate Before 2009 (Paperback)
Mr. Garvey did a good job selecting a title for this book, but that was it. There were no real insights here, and even a moderately experienced home buyer will know 95% of the content through common sense. Thank you Mr. Garvey for making this book only 70 pages long(a good percentage of which was used by random pictures of fish, mountains and boat docks).
Mr Garvey's recommendation to dumb yourself down and wear dirty clothing in an effort to get information from Southern Local Residents is somewhat insulting. Save your money, this book and his approach are typical of what we get from the Realtors most are looking to avoid. Try Lereah or Freedman for real insight into real estate/baby boom trends that are meaningful. Jack-

One Happy Customer,
This review is from: Where, How and Why to Buy Real Estate Before 2009 (Paperback)
I just read the last one star review and felt obligated to refute the charge.
Mr. Garvey has a stamp in the back of every book directing readers to the online forum at www.realestate2009.com. It is a place where investors can share CURRENT information with each other. The forum is obviously a companion to the book, and Mr. Garvey has been VERY helpful answering in emails my own questions about real estate as well as the questions that others have had on that forum. In it's entirety, this book has benefitted my understanding of real estate markets NATIONWIDE. To think that real estate, LLC's or other topics addressed in this book are form-fit to the specificities of one's OWN state is hubristic at worst and ignorant at best. I have found out that these methods have applied in principle to Alabama, Florida, and Texas; the three places I have been researching. Try finding another book on the market that spans the real estate mood of an entire nation. As I said, I had questions and I simply followed the simple directions in the back of the book and found answers at the forum. Mr. Garvey has been more helpful to me because of my $14 purchase than any councelor who charges $100/hour. He means well, he knows his stuff, and this book, coupled with the forum, has been more than adequate in answering all my real estate questions.
