1) Paperback Book The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Wiley. as to whether you will find this book helpful or not.
When I first entered the real estate market, I was a novice investor. I found this book to be very helpful and insightful and gave me a good solid vocabulary enabling me to converse intelligently with the Real Estate agents I was working with. I am now a full time Real Estate Agent specialing in commercial real estate and I continue to recommend this book to my customers with little background in Real Estate investing and purchasing.
If you are a seasoned investor with many purchases in your background and portfolio, then this book may not be for you. While you may or may not be aware of the many calculations and insights this book offers, I believe it is still a worth while addition to an investors library.
If you are new to Real Estate investing I highly recommend this book. It contains many helpful calculations and insights to give you a good solid background of what you need to know to invest in real estate.
The calculations are real world examples used in practice by both Residential and Commercial Real Estate Agents. It offers topics on Creative Financing, Property management as well as an overview of the various types of Investment properties.
¤ 2) Paperback Book The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Wiley. Like most Unofficial Guide, this is no nonsense, yet authoritative and useful. I would recommend this book for first time investors in real estate or even for people who may have done some investment in the past but want to become serious in real estate investment.
Book is dividied into 7 major sections - Understanding Real Estate as an investment, Secrets of real estate investing, Mastering the Market, Setting your investment goals, Putting your money on the line, property management essentials, Facing your fears.
I think most initial investors (prime target audience for this book) will find section 1, 2 and 6 useful and something they should read as part of their preparation for starting a real estate investment career. Other sections are well written and will probably be used more as reference as opposed to an end to end reading during the first skimming through the book.¤ 3) Paperback Book The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Wiley. If you want a no nosense book about Real Estate Investing this is the book for you. No fluff, just basic things you need to know in order to be successful. I recommend this book highly.¤ 4) Paperback Book The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Wiley. This is a beginner book on real estate investing, it covers all the essentials, but in a very boring school textbook style. It is so generic and so ultimately forgettable, there is not one piece of information that isn´t covered in any other REI book with better insights and more detail.¤ 5) Paperback Book The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Wiley. I purchased a duplex 18 months ago and a triplex 6 months ago. I wish I had this book then. There are several things I would have done differently and many of my questions would have been answered. It´s a great book for a starter. I give it only four stars because it gives little description on closing costs of properties but besides that it is excellent for people purchasing 1 to 4 unit properties. Tip: This book is at the library for free.¤ 6) Paperback Book The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Wiley. The inside scoop... for when you want more than the official line!

¤7) Paperback Book The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Wiley. If you think the only path to riches is through the stock market, then think again. In The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing, Martin Stone and Spencer Strauss show how to generate financial security one property at a time. The authors, both real estate brokers, illustrate basic concepts such as researching and valuing properties, obtaining financing, managing tenants and expenses, and dealing with taxes. They believe that the "biggest little secret" in real estate is the tremendous leverage that investors can enjoy. They write, "If you have $9,000 to invest, for example, you could buy $9,000 worth of stocks, bonds, coins, or art. With $9,000 to invest in real estate, however, you could purchase a four-unit FHA apartment building worth $300,000." The book includes hundreds of tips on everything from how to minimize vacancies and be a good landlord to making an offer and working with contractors. Well written and easy to read, The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing is a solid introduction for anyone seriously considering real estate as full- or part-time source of income.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
