Customer Reviews

A wealth of information

For those people who can't find the value in what's in this book make me wonder if they actually read it. The edition I have was (c) 1999 and it shows in some of the references on how to use computers, but the book is FULL of hints, advice, and forms to help you evaluate your real estate prospects. It's also provides a good pep talk as to not get discouraged in the "naysayers" and doomers and gloomers when there are so-called "bad" times to buy real estate. Buy this book if you're serious about investing in real estate.

Inspirational

I found it refreshing that Mr. Hicks gave suggestions for how to enter the real estate business WITHOUT obtaining a real estate license. Sure I agree with the other reviewers the book wasn't a highly technical book but that is also why I enjoyed it. I didn't buy the book I checked it out from the library and I'm glad I did. I recommend anyone interested in entering the real estate business read all you can before you leap. Sure the claims of making millions may be a bit far fetched for the average novice in real estate but it is a great book for firing up your creative juices.

Not so bad, if you read it....

If one actually takes a read of the book, it is not so bad after all. It is full of useful hints and ideas. Like any other book, you do have to apply the ideas. Money, although printed on paper, does not grow on trees. It is not a perfect book, but not anywhere near aas bad as the other reviewer made out. You *can* make good use of it to make money.

Very Informative!

I agree with the other reviewers, this book was very informative and really drives home that it is important to begin building real estate rental assets. I was really excited and eager to get started after reading it, thank you.I also recommend "How to Make Fast Cash in Real Estate with No Money Down Deals!" by: Rod L. Griffin, it is very creative.

Unlock the Door to Riches

This is really a nice look at tapping the power of real estate. Upon rereading many parts of the book I began to understand Mr. Hicks cold, hard truth in taking over income producing properties through borrowing. The key according to Hicks is being able to borrow as much as possible for an extended time, at the best rate. If this occurs and the rental income covers your mortgage and overhead then you have a self-paying property. (Heavy emphasis on rental income). Hicks free-wheeling philosophy is tempered with prudent warnings: Positive income over and above expenses must be present. Keep records. Do not be afraid of banks, etc. Do not let the bland book cover fool you...this is a terrific book!Highly Recommended.
