One is taking a chance at getting something where you want it to go, the other is golf. "Why I Buy Real Estate Instead of Golfing" is a memoir of adventures in real estate from Len DeWeerdt as he reflects on his own successes and follies in real estate, and gives readers much advice on how to succeed where he failed. Hoping to prevent aspiring investors from making the same mistakes he did and learning the hard way, "Why I Buy Real Estate Instead of Golfing" is a choice pick and well worth considering.

I've done quite a few deals in my life, from buying foreclosures to syndicating real estate for private investors. But I know that NO ONE stops learning. The author's book is going to be fun and entertaining for anyone in real estate, whether experienced or novice.

Its nice to find a real estate book written on a human level, in a voice that speaks like a friend who's looking out for you.

I'm happy to give this book 5 stars.

As Len says, he has written this book in an effort to help others learn from his mistakes! He is a good businessman with success in many other areas of his life, just not the real estate market! (And, I might add, in golf either!)

Enjoy the humor, but pay attention to the tips and good luck!
