Product Description
Synopsis
If you want to invest in real estate, don't be misled by "one size fits all" infomercials that promise instant riches. Learn from an expert. Investor, Robert Shemin shares the real life strategies he's used to amass a real estate portfolio worth millions. Given the right tools, nearly anyone can make money investing in real estate, which Robert Shemin proves in his powerful new book, "Secrets of a Millionaire Real Estate Investor". Whether you're a novice or a seasoned investor, Shemin's got strategies you can take to the bank. A multi millionaire in his early 30s, Shemin teaches three basic strategies for making money through real estate: buy and "flip" property to another buyer for more money; buy, rehab, and resell property; and buy and hold property as a landlord. Shemin also shows that ethical investing is the surest way to build optimal long term profits.

Good Book to get you started...
15 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
I liked this book. It was informative and contained a good amount of Shemin's experiences to color the text and information given. I do have a problem however, and it's not with the book, but rather the readers who have such negative opinions about these types of books. One of the overwhelming themes that I read in these people's negative reviews is "s/he didn't tell me how"...what are you people talking about?
Shemin told you what he did...he interviewed two hundred landlords and tenants...he looked at houses and investment properties for six months before making an offer. Even he said it didn't need to take that much time, but fear held him back. He told you how to evaluate a property, things to look for. He even provides a checklist. He told you that first and foremost "HE MADE A DECISION TO ACHIEVE FINANCIAL FREEDOM WITH REAL ESTATE". Yes, he made a decision. Any succesful person will tell you, once you make the decision, the hows become easy.
It seems like people want a book to tell them why they should do this, not how. The hows are in this book. The hows are in any book. That's why they're referred to as "How-To's". The "why" to do something is for you and you alone to figure out. Don't buy anybody's book if you're looking for why. I read the same kind of negative opinions when I look at bad reviews of Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" stuff. What do you want these books to do? Go out and find the properties, get the financing, find the tenants and collect money for you?
Shemin's book is good. I will tell you to stay from Tyler Hicks' works. He's nothing but an informercial in book form. But I like what the author has to say. But, none of these books will do anything for you until...you...do...it!

very informative for the rookie real estate investor
13 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
I just started to become interested in real estate and I found this book very informative. One section that stands out in my mind that I will use in the future is the section that gives tips on how to inexpensively dress up a house to get a higher price. Is very realistic about what to expect concerning life as a landlord, gave tips on how to "flip" houses (for the more experienced investor)and advantages and disadvantages of holding on to property or "flipping" property. I would recommend this book to new investors.

Secrets of a millionare real estate investor
8 Jun 2002
Format:Paperback
I truly enjoy reading this book. It demonstrates the use of common sense and giving back. And, that is how I actually starting in the real estate field. I have over sixteen years of property management experience and a successful owner, and investor in rental properties. And, this book has made a great impact on me. I would recommend it to anyone who is a novice or itermeditate and want to learn more about investing, owning, and flipping properties. It's definately a realistic book. Others, I would strongly recommend would be Lanlording, Find It, Buy It, anf Fix It is great and The New No-Non Sense Lanlord by Jergerson. You will never want to resell these books.
