Customer Reviews

Solid, Common sense Reality - No scams or hype - Honest

T J LUCIER has more honest, realistic, detailed information in each of his real estate books, than any author I have found. He is a journeyman carpenter and former marine, who is dedicated to integrity. He has thoroughly educated himself in each aspect of realty, before he writes. He is a property owner and investor first, not a charlatan, or scam artist. Details he teaches you in his books, about law, construction, inspection, negotiation, buying, and selling, are explained so that you learn, and protect yourself from risks. - Lucier focuses on investing, not gambling. - He teaches you to profit from good investing, not from hoping that inflation will save you. He is accessible: He answers his own phone, and his emails. LEIGH ROBINSON's Book: LANDLORDING, and JOHN T. REED's writings (johntreed dot com) are the other two high integrity sources you should pursue, if you want this quality. My background includes Former: IRS Field Agent, CPA, Certified Financial Planner, and Real Estate Broker. So, I have some frame of reference from which to judge this material.

Mr. Lucier has hit a home run with his new book, The No-Nonesense Real Estate Investor's Kit. It covers all the meaty details and aspects of real estate investing. This book is straight to the point, and you'll learn exactly what you need to do to become a successful real estate investor. It doesn't matter if you're just starting out or if your a seasoned investor. There is so much you can learn from this book. Mr. Lucier gives you so much information that you'll be forced to read it more than once to make sure you haven't missed anything. If you are really serious about making money in real estate, this book will guide you each step of the way. I like the way, Mr. Lucier cuts away the fluff and glitter and tells it like it really is. This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in making it in real estate today. Mr. Lucier, thank you for writing this book and sharing your knowledge with your readers

A gem of a book!

This book should be mandatory reading for every business major student as well as anyone contemplating real estate investments. Tom Lucier writes with such a no-holds barred style and attention to detail that even a newcomer to the real estate world will find it easy to follow. The content was so practical and without the hype. Frankly, it reads like a fast paced novel that you won't want to put down. This detail oriented, step by step book kicks ass when compared to most of the "pie in the sky" and impractical "get rich quick" books out there. In addition, Mr. Lucier is the only real estate author that I know of who is accessible and returns my e-mail questions promptly! If five stars are the maximum, this book get six!

No Hype! Exactly what you need to know.

Tom's book is packed with information! He never puts any hype in his writing. In fact, Tom explains the negative aspects of real estate in detail to make sure people looking to invest in real estate don't get taken and lose their money. Tom has been very detailed in this book telling you exactly what you will need as an new investor and also exactly how to make money. He makes sure you know all the good points as well as the not so good points to real estate investing. Tom explains the crucial details that so called "gurus" often fail to mention or lightly skim over as they are selling their hype. This book takes you through what it takes to be a profitable real estate investor step-by-step. In fact, I would say there is more information about real estate in this book than any of the many $1,000+ real estate home study courses I have read and listened to. This book will be a great resource and guide for any person wanting to get into real estate investing. Otto Ruebsamen, President of Global Investment Group Inc.

Everything you need to be an investor in under 300 pages!!

After reading Mr. Lucier's first two books, I had high expectations for this one. My expectations were highly exceeded! I've read multiple books in my quest to become a successful real estate investor and thought I knew quite a bit about it. After reading this book straight-through without putting it down, I realized there is so much that the other so called "gurus" don't teach us. Another appropriate name for this book could be "What the Guru's fail to mention". Also Mr. Lucier's straight forward, no fluff teaching helped me see things for how they are verse the exaggerated teaching style of other real estate "experts". Well to sum it all up; this book made me feel confident and motivated to go ahead and start taking steps forward to invest. He gives a ton of references so that you know where to go, who to talk to, and what to ask! All of that combined with Mr. Lucier's invitation to call or email makes this book worth its weight in gold!
