"Excellent Book!"
As a real estate investor myself for many years, this book is right on the money. I wish I would have read this book when I first got started.
The author shares the real world of real estate investing in a very accurate and entertaining format. I listened to the audio version and since the author was also the narrator, I got to hear the author's intent as well which made a big difference for me. He is a great speaker, actually, and kept my focus the whole time. You won't get bored, that's for sure!
There are a ton of books out there about real estate. What makes this one different is that the author covers the whole spectrum of investing, from flipping to long term rentals, to everything in between. Phil condenses a huge topic into an easy-to-follow format so that the reader can make there own decision on what angle of the real estate game they want to go into. I'm used to books where the author is trying to convince you to invest in a particular way; like wholesaling, or foreclosures, or whatever. Phil doesn't do that. In fact, he points out the pros and cons of each style. Which was quite illuminating to me because there was a lot of misconceptions I had about certain techniques.
I'm what I would consider to be an expert at investing these days and I got a whole bunch of golden nuggets out of this book. Those brand new to real estate will get a ton out of this book. I think this is a must read for anyone looking to get into real estate.
