Great real estate book for your library

I know this book is currently out of print and with the date of 1992, I was hesitant at first to purchase this book. It is a true gem of a discovery, his information can be applied to real estate investing in the year 2001 and beyond.He delivers the information very well written, and gives incredible ideas of ways to continually expand your ideas of how the appraisal business works, as well as many other timely topics.

The best real estate investing book I have ever read!

This is the best real estate book for the serious long term investor. I have bought four properties from 1992 to 1997 in the depressed Boston area real estate market and would have never been able to without this book. The focus of this book is that you can creat long term wealth by buying and holding real estate in the right location. It is not a get rich quick scheme. This is the serious real estate investors "bible"

Get rich slowy with long-term real estate

Many books on real estate usually tell you get rich quick schemes that never seem to work. This one however, show the important of buying and holding onto real estate much like stocks. The author stresses holding onto the estate, rather than trying to sell it quick to make a quick buck. Throughout the story, the author details his own experiences on his quest for his real estate fortune. After losing money gambling with the commodities, the author decided to try real estate. He started with virtually nothing, and eventually built his estate to be worth more than $15 million in four apartments, and 30 condominiums. This is a definite book to read for those who want to start investing in real estate
