5.0 out of 5 starsBest Book of its Kind I have read so far.
By Kevin Meade on May 26, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I have read six books so far on the subject of buying/renting. This book has clearly been the best so far. Most of the books I have read have been lots of hype and talk about you can make money on realestate. This book contains some of the same talk. Certainly there is an attempt to generate excitement in the beginning about how you can indeed make money buying/fixing/renting. And the book contains much of the same math talk about how to calculate basic values.

The other books I have read are pretty much two things: 1) pep-talk (you can do it!!!) and 2) basic math (four family unit @400/unit=1600-900 in expenses = 500 profit per month. See how easy it is to make money!!!).

This book talks about other stuff. Yes it does have the same math, but in addition has other interesting ways of looking at the value of properties. I found most interesting those times when the author talked about stuff other than money. One example is when he describes a student of his program who bought a mulit-unit complex and was about to loose his shirt because no one was renting. The student thought he had done everything right. In the end it turns out that the problem was not with the unit itself, but with the neighborhood. The student's great deal was for a complex with all single bed efficiencies, in an area mostly composed of four member families. No wonder the guy could not rent. The author thus intoduces the idea that other factors besides the property and rents are in fact more important. After following this guy I appreciate that he has actual wisdom in the business and that learning from him I will be able to avoid many mistakes.

Yep, this guy makes me feel like I can do it. I just bought my first two family.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsAn Incredibly Disappointing Book
By Vladimir on April 4, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Pros:
-The author has a positive tone throughout, and seemingly knows what he's talking about despite the vague and general manner of explanation.

Cons:
-98% fluff material. Let me summarize the only useful piece of information from the first 15% of the book: buy a multiunit property to benefit from economies of scale. And a summary for the remainder of the book: plan ahead. Look at cash flows. Try to improve cash flows. Believe in yourself! Know the logistics of your neighborhood. Completely asinine and obvious.
-This book is a damned infomercial for his seminar. So help me if I see him mention his damned paid seminar advertised one more time. He must've mentioned his seminar at least 10 times in the first 10% of the book. I already gave you some money, how about you teach me something of substance you charlatan!
-There was nothing substantial in this book, and I am infuriated I wasted any money on it. In the future I will be sure to read the sample version prior to purchasing. How does this book have such high reviews?! It's absolute drivel. I'm pretty outraged and would love a refund, but have no idea how to go about getting one. Shame on me for not sampling this 'book' prior to buying.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest All-Around Book on Real Estate Investing I've read yet.
By Jennifer L. on February 5, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Knowledge-gathering on real-estate investing is quickly becoming a passion of mine. Buy it, Rent It and Profit is one of the best of the books I've read so far. I also enjoyed and recommend The Wall Street Journal. Complete Real-Estate Investing Guidebook. This book is more of a get-started how-to and equally pragmatic where the WSJ guide was more of a 50,000 ft. view of real estate investing but has lots of great outside references.

The author, Bryan Chavis, explains why investing in apartments or du/tri/quad- plexes is a smarter investment than single family homes by explaining the concept of economies of scale concisely. I appreciate his tone in this book. It is written for beginners like myself without having a condescending or overly-simplified tone.

Like lots of real estate books, Chavis advises looking for value-added properties to buy (read: distressed property) so you can immediately build equity in your purchase. He discusses the importance of an exit strategy and following a checklist before you invest so you know what parameters you are looking for and allows you to invest without getting emotionally attached to a deal.

Chavis provides lots of useful, specific information on how to evaluate a neighborhood using his SEOTA(tm) analysis which is the "Strategic Evaluation of a Target Area." The specific steps he takes are sensible and you get a feel for how much experience he has just from his in-depth analysis of how to evaluate a property. He details evaluating building permits, employment, household size, demographics, psychographics, mortgage rates, rental rates, and occupancy rates.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsSeems incomplete
By C. Simpson on February 9, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
As a new entrant into the investment property arena, I was looking for a book to help guide my journey. In general, this is a good book. However, it seems incomplete.

In one of the more interesting and potentially useful chapters, the author tells you how to evaluate potential properties. He has you calculate `cash on cash returns' and `cap rates'. Both of these are tremendously valuable. However, he also shows you how to calculate his "DCR" or Davinci Code score. Immediately afterward, he says that we will learn how to use these benchmark scores to compare properties but I don't recall that discussion ever taking place later in the book. So great, I have the DCR but what am I supposed to do with it?

Anyway, it is a good book, but I think it needs to go a bit further. If nothing else, close the open loopholes.
