Product Description

Product Description
After beating back a slump a decade ago, real estate has rebounded in a big way for the Millenium, offering a hot investment vehicle that even novices can ride to riches. The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing clearly shows that the secret in getting rich lies not in get–rich–quick schemes but rather in investing in a commodity that has been around since the beginning of time –– terra firma, property. A small capital investment today can be leveraged into huge profits tomorrow.

Readers learn how to:

  • Buy and manage every type of investment property, from houses to condos to large units to commercial property to land for development
  • Value property correctly
  • Live through the "due diligence" period
  • Handle tenant problems without turning into an ′evil′ landlord.


From the Back Cover
The inside scoop for when you want more than the official line! We′ve all heard of Donald Trump–like tycoons who′ve made a fortune in the real estate business, and who started by scraping together enough money for a down payment on a modest first property or so the legend goes. But when average Joes and Janes like us are struggling to pay the mortgage or make the rent, the idea of getting rich off real estate seems like a cruel joke at best! Where do you start? What to buy? How to get financing? You want to know the stories behind today′s real estate successes. You want the inside scoop. The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing is designed to give savvy consumers like you a foolproof appraisal of everything from the most basic concepts of real estate investing to buying lifelong financial security and even wealth one property at a time. In this book you′ll get unbiased recommendations that are not influenced by any company, product, or organization. The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing is intensively inspected by The Unofficial Panel of Experts: William Bronchick is president of the Colorado Association of Real Estate Investors; Warren Ladenheim specializes in accounting and financial recruitment for the real estate business at Peak Search, Inc.; and Ed Stevens is the developer and principal author of the real estate consumer information Web site House Clicks. These specialists ensure that you are armed with the most up–to–date insider information on the subject of real estate investing and are told exactly what "the Official establishment" doesn′t want you to know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, 24 Sep 2003
By A Customer
I used this book intensively for a research in my university. It is great and outlines the process of investing in real estate from the very beginning to the very end. There are a lot of examples and everyday tips, the structure is easy to navigate, and the book is easy to read.
However, it focuses only on the US market (it doesn't mean it's not useful for other markets -- it still gives you the basis for further research) and sometimes is a bit simplistic.
I would recommend it as an introduction and as a "do-it-yourself" guide for people who want to start investing in real estate.
Another book I want to recommend is "Value investing in real-estate" that is not as comprehensive as this one, but gives a very interesting point of view on how to make investments in real estate more effective.
