Did you know that one of the most lucrative ways to invest your hard-earned money is with real estate? And with the 1997 Taxpayer Relief Act, the current booming housing market, and steady interest rates, the time for profitable real estate investing is now.
Focusing primarily on residential real estate investing, author Roger Woodson delivers a step-by-step plan for the novice. From his experience as a builder, contractor, property manager, and broker, Woodson doles out successful investment strategies for single-family and multiunit housing; fixer-uppers and conversions; quick-flips and "keepers"; and condos and co-ops.
"Profitable Real Estate Investing" is one of the most easy-to-understand, comprehensive guides to real estate investing. Woodson offers simple but sage advice on:
- Being your own broker
- Financing tricks (when you have very little cash!)
- Building inspections
- Managing rental properties
- Assessing your investments
