 Excellent Reading for Real Estate InvestorsOct 20, 2009
By A. Ikeda
This book is worth it's weight in gold! I've liked all of Kiyosaki's books and courses but this one really stands out.
Mr. Kiyosaki has brought together some brilliant minds and what they wrote is easy to understand and makes absolute sense.
As an investor specializing in lease options, I tried to do it all on my own and got 4 contracts but then they were not with motivated sellers.
While reading this book, it became very clear to me the importance of having a team of people to help you out. My biggest take away is "Investing is a team sport." Yes, I know that's a 'no-brainer' but now I truly realize what he and the others who contributed are trying to say in this volume.
Lately, I've switched over to specializing in tax deeds and liens and the chapter on lien investing by Mr. Wheelright is very good - he makes it very simple and easy to understand.
I highly recommend this book. It is in the top 3 books on real estate investing that I've ever read, and I'm a book and seminar junkie. Get this book today!!

 Very RepetitiveMar 02, 2010
By Yisrael Dubov
"Maestro"
Theres alot of information in this book in regards to RE, but most of it is geared towards Commercial RE as opposed to Residential RE. Being that this book is a compilation of 22 different people, it will repeat itself more than once. So I would recommend it for the info just be prepared for repetition.

 Good Tip book from a group of real estate professionalsApr 06, 2010
By Aseiu P.
If you want to gain some insights from real estate professionals do check out this book. It is like a tip book from a group of real estate professionals (investors, lawyers, accountants...) on their top past mistakes or right things they did. Learned couple of new ways to invest in real estate.
If you are just getting into real estate investing, first go read something from Ken McElroy, his books are more hands on.

 I expected more...May 25, 2011
By James P
"James"
Just wasn't that great. I was looking for a book on residential real estate investing advice, instead I got stories about Burger King in Hawaii, El Poyo Loco in California, commercial properties, how to put a team together, a mini infomercial on each member of Robert's team, yada yada yada. There was some good information, but has anyone written a book with the hard hitting information on residential real estate investing; when to flip, when to hold, profitability profiles, etc? This book wavered between commercial and residential; I want focus on one or the other. I'm looking for the hard hitting statistics...the search continues, this wasn't it!

 Returned it ... not for a SFH investor ... misleadingDec 20, 2011
By JMann
Perhaps this book is for appropriate for people that are considering buying apartment buildings ( after all, a chapter is written by 'the Donald') but for an individual that is looking to buy several single family home rental properties, there are much better choices...much of the advice just does not apply. Also, beware that some of the advice in the book is misleading. For example, the author recommends taking deductions for all meals where real estate is discussed BUT NEVER MENTIONS THAT ONLY 50% OF MEAL VALUE is deductible. I found other omissions that inflated the value of the benefit being discussed as a 'tip.'
