Book Overview

In the Make Money series, renowned real estate investor and bestselling author Gary W. Eldred shows you how to profit from the safest, most reliable wealth builder in the world-real estate. With coverage of all the fundamentals-from finding the right properties to financing and managing them-Eldred shows you the ropes so you don't have to learn important lessons the hard way.

* Relax while you put your money to work
* Find properties with high rates of appreciation
* Evaluate homeowner association finances

Customer Reviews

A reasoned voice in the huckster crowd

My review title pretty well sums it up. Eldred presents a well reasoned argument for investing in condos. He provides solid advice on the pertinent subjects, including tenant and association selection. And he does it with an encouraging tone that doesn't digress into pie in the sky hype.I think I'll check out some of his other work.
