5.0 out of 5 stars "THE BOOK-- to study to pass the test", September 26, 2002
By David G. Stokes (St. George, Utah, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are a lot of books out there selling the idea of: nothing down, flipping, listing, rehabbing, wholesaling, the list goes on and on.

Each and every one of these authors has had experience in Real Estate. They explain this information as if the reader already knows the stuff. I would guess that 99% of the fortunes they've made has been through the writing of their books. Everyone wants to find a short-cut, including me.

I finally decided I would go back to the basics, and go to R.E. school, whether I got my license was not the issue. The curriculum for the class is this book. It does not contain any creativity or complex equations, which is perfect for the beginner.

I've read many get-rich in real-estate books, and have found great information in all of them. This book, however, is the meat and spuds. Buy it & read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great stepping stone into the Real Estate world., September 5, 1999
By A Customer
As a teacher in pre-liscence Real Estate, I can highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in getting into Real Estate. Some critics have said that the book may need a better math section, but you should remember that the book is designed to help you pass your exam and not intended as your sole training outlet. Anyone reading & studying this work has covered the material needed for exam purposes. The rest is usually left up to the Broker or experience to teach. I find the book to be extremely helpful in my classes.
