I think that considering the elements of an investment or property that will give you joy, and being motivated by the desire do something good for your community or the people around you is as important as anything when analyzing a real estate investment and I really appreciated affirmation of that. I already have investment properties; I was looking for a way to live on that passive income and spend less time making money at my job. I'm a realtor with property management as part of my office, LOL, and I thought her advice was all really good. I also think I'm closer to being to able to retire on passive income than I realized. The startup advice was very practical and useful I thought too. I couldn't agree more with her assessment of more traditional retirement plans.

As an entrepreneur and investor I am always interested in ways to leverage my efforts and to putting my money to work for me.  After the disastrous real estate meltdown of a few years ago, there are signs of recovery, so real estate interests me now and anything that will give me more information on how to invest, choose your niche, how to finance, and the different types of reals estate investing catches my interest from the get go.

What I liked about this book is the business approach ... set your goals, keep yourself accountable, get a team of professionals to advise and help keep you on track, develop a network, fund sourcing and more.  What would have made this a 5-star for me would have been a  more in-depth information on the different styles/types of real estate investing.

Although I own a few homes of my own, I felt a refresher in how to buy a home in today's market was imperative. I was brought up by my father that real estate is the best and most sustainable investment in my future. This book answered many questions for me, reiterated what I already knew, and helped me feel prepared for my next purchase.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  It is packed with information regarding growing a real estate business.
The strategies are realistic and very do-able for anyone who applies them.
The end stories about investors who started out small and became millionaires was also a good read. I could
relate to many of them with my own personal experiences buying real estate.

Perhaps the largest take away I got from this book was that an investor has to have a large business model
from the beginning in order to have large success. For example, if a take home wage is 50k and you want to
build a net worth of 5k in one year, you can have 10% taken out of your check and invested via a 401k.
However, if a take home wage is 50k and you want to build a 50k net worth in the same time frame, you need
a much larger business model.

Real estate millionares have large business models.

I have been in the trenches here in Michigan (land of the jobless great recession/depression) and I must
say that there are some unbelievable real estate deals to be had.  I intend on using the strategies from
this book to continue building my real estate business.

5 stars !!

As an avid reader of business and development books in and out of real estate I found this book to be informative,  where other books sometimes just regurgitate the same info. Thank you for putting this out here for us. Much appreciated.

This is a take no prisoners, unabashed look at the art and business of selling real estate.  It begins with the basics and quickly advances through the complexities and subtleties of the market.  Offering practical wisdom with razor sharp wit, it's a good read for anyone interested in real estate.  I would especially recommend this to anyone interested in starting a career in real estate or brushing up on their brokering skills.

Obviously the Rich Dad series has been very successful, and this book is no exception.  Still timely today, it's a must read for anyone considering investing in real estate.

A great read for anyone interested in real estate.  Most importantly it's easy to read backed by solid research from US Census, Federal Reserve Board, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, US Department of Housing and Urban Development, etc. The thorough research of 55+ graphs and charts makes the book even more worthwhile.

This is a must read if you want to plan for the future.  Do you want to live in the suburbs, countryside, or in the city. "America in 2050" illustrates with well researched documentation regarding future trends!

This book provided us with great tools to get our Real Estate business moving beyond the "norm".  We're looking forward to implementing many of the tools, putting together a team, and maintaining a focus even in the tough times.

Real Estate: The Sustainable Investment is one of the most interesting books I have read recently. It lays down the details of how to make smart investments rather than promising you will be a millionaire in two years by just buying the book. If you are in your early 20's such as myself, you should take a second look at this book so you can get a leg up on your finances. When saving interest rates are around 1% real estate looks very enticing.

One of the best sources of information on the real estate industry, its challenges and where macro events are taking us.
