 Required Reading May 23, 2006
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I recommend this book for two reasons:
1.Easy to read
2.Practical information
Ken McElroy gives step by step instructions on how to properly evaluate and make offers on multi-unit rental properties. Having read the Kiyosaki books "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and "The Prophecy", I was happy to FINALLY read some practical information. The Kiyosaki books are great motivational material but offer little substance. This entire book is not perfect, but Ken's analysis breakdown of evaluating properties and making offers is absolutely required information. Will this book enable me to make profitable acquisitions? Time will tell, however I feel confident in the process now, with Ken's detailed checklist of how to approach the business.
The only criticism I have is the lack of information about acquisition financing. Ken states that you don't need much money to get started and mentions a deal where he used purely investor money. I would like to have read some detailed information on different acquisition financing he has brokered, and how to target and close investor equity.
Overall though I would say this is a must read for anyone interested in purchasing multi-unit rental properties.
 Easy reading and practical step-by-step advice December 29, 2004

Although I would have liked a bit more detail and more practical how-to, this book on real estate investing (mainly residential) is not fluff and definitely goes deeper than just concepts. It gets into the author's own secrets for REI and also quantative analysis that people who don't even have a real estate or finance background can easily pick up (as long as they know how to add and subtract).
Rich Dad Adopt ME ! February 26, 2005

An excellent read on multi-family and commercial real estate.
Only 4 stars because it is really about the advanced investor in my opion. They deal more with apartment buildings and commerical where the math is critical before you buy. Only somewhat applicaple to a small rent house investor like I hope to become. But well worth the read. Very educational and informitive for the small investor as well.
Buying Read Estate is Tricky September 2, 2005

There are a million deatails to consider before buying property and the author gives a good account of what it takes to research your market, conduct due diligence, find out the truth of people's statements and even includes his own "due diligence checklist".
 Shallow at Best March 9, 2007
16 out of 20 found this review helpful
This book was an easy read. Like the two other books that I just finished reading from the Rich Dad series, this one does not have much substance. This book does a great job of convincing the reader of how great real estate investing is. However, it is shallow and does not give enough advice on how to actually get started in real estate investing. Do not waste your time and money on this book!
