ARE YOU DUMB ENOUGH TO BE RICH is a candid "HOW TO" book on becoming rich by investing in real estate. Mr. Barnett (while using amusing antecdotes) explores and explains how to avoid the common pitfalls the that can destroy the novice real estate investor. Fortunatly he does not stop there, Mr. Barnett details the process and procedures (including scripts, formulas and templates) for obtaining quick loans for the purchase of real estate, how to find and aquire properties from motivated sellers and, once purchased, how to sell these properties quickly and for a predetermined profit. ARE YOU DUMB ENOUGH TO BE RICH is An excellent book for the novice and a great resource for the experienced investor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good real estate book, January 31, 2004

By A Customer

I believe that this book is a great companion to Robert Allen's Nothing Down. The fact that Allen wrote the forward should tell you how Allen feels about this book.

Are You Dumb Enough To Be Rich is updated for the times and offers fresh material. I like the fact that the author offers information on tax liens and discounted mortgages as well.

Are You Dumb Enough To Be Rich is a great book. You would be dumb not to buy it and use it. Great book. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars I AM dumb-enough!, June 15, 2003

By	Tex Norton (Anaheim Hills, CA; Burnet, TX; United States) - See all my reviews

Bill Barnett offers non-stop suggestions throughout the entire book on how to improve your ability to buy, rehab-if-necessary, and market real estate. I've been a real estate investor for over 40 years and I learned an amazing number of new techniques and ideas by simply reading this book. I've also had the pleasure of meeting Bill personally, and he's a great resource to have on your team.
