Product Description

Product Description

A fully revised, new edition of one of the bestselling real estate investing guides of all time

Through its five previous editions, Investing in Real Estate has shown investors how to intelligently build wealth with their investments in houses, condominiums, and small apartment buildings. Unlike many titles in this genre, Investing in Real Estate steers clear of the hyped–up “no cash, no credit, no problem” promises. Instead, it provides sound, real–world advice and instruction that reflects the author’s time–tested wisdom and experience. This book shows you how to invest profitably, safely, and reliably as you navigate the risks and opportunities of today’s property market. It covers all the topics investors need to master, including how to find, negotiate, finance, lease out, and manage your property acquisitions. Plus, you will discover how to add tens of thousands of dollars of value to nearly any property. Whether you plan to start investing or move   your current investing strategy to a higher level, two decades of sales success testifies to the fact that this investing guide stands superior to any others that you will find.

This new edition covers all the recent changes in the market, including the latest housing rescue legislation from Congress, a historical review of how to profit from property cycles, and insightful new ways to gain from the current excess inventories of for–sale properties, foreclosures, and REOs.  

• Author Gary W. Eldred has also authored ten other successful real estate titles, including The Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Investing, The 106 Mistakes Homebuyers Make—and How to Avoid Them, and The 106 Mortgage Secrets that All Borrowers Must Learn—but Lenders Don’t Tell
• Completely revised to cover current ways to prosper in today’s property markets
• Includes new, insider techniques for foreclosure investing
• Features fifteen new ways to profit with property investments
• Shows you how to buy properties for less than they are worth from many sources including auctions, bank sales, and homebuilders

Investing in Real Estate, Sixth Edition retains its premier position as the most reliable, informative, and comprehensive guides to successful real estate investing.

Format:Paperback
This is my first book on Real Estate, and I bought it due to its popularity. The book is really full of details, it reads like a text book as some other reviewers elsewhere have commented. I had difficulty understanding some of the terminologies akin to real estate as I have no prior background in real estate. I also found this book tailored towards US resident readers (but most real estate books are).
Nevertheless, this is a good introduction for me to the world of real estate.
I feel that this book is practical because it provides advice on drafting contracts (whether for purchase or rental deals), informs readers of the considerations to be taken into account before making a buy/sell decision, ways to improve the value of your home, how to calculate market value, the various ways of financing a real estate investment.
When I do embark on my real estate investments, I will definitely use this book as a reference.

The book gives a introduction to real estate investing. However, if you already know something about the matter, it really does not add anything new. Still, it could make sense to have this textbook on the shelf for quick references.

I would recommend "Real Estate Riches" by Dolf de Roos over this title. This is more juicy and real life as compared to "Investing to Real Estate".

All the relevant material you could ask for as a investor just starting out. I used it to purchase my first home. I paid $120 out of pocket to acquire a $110,000 townhome in Baltimore, MD for $88,000. The concepts taught and comparisons made between real estate investing and other options(stocks, etc.) are very informative.
