Publisher's summary

Imagine this. You buy a home, live in it, then buy another. You build your wealth through real estate - and then retire rich. It may sound too good to be true. But it’s not. It has happened, it’s happening now and it will continue to happen for millions of people over the next few decades. The question is, will it happen for you? If you want the answer to be “yes,” then stop what you are doing and open this book. Listen to a few chapters. Bach’s simple strategies make you rich where you sleep. All you have to do is follow his easy program to go from renter to owner, and from owner to Automatic Millionaire Homeowner. The rest is automatic!

What’s the secret to becoming a millionaire in real estate?

Since the runaway success of David Bach’s number one New York Times best seller The Automatic Millionaire, people all over the world have asked David the same question - is it really possible for me to get rich in real estate? Now, in The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner, David Bach reveals why buying a home and investment properties is not only possible, it is the surest way to reach your seven-figures dreams on an ordinary income.

The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner starts with the powerful story of an average American couple with a modest income who stretch to buy their first house for $30,000 and retire 35 years later owning a home on a golf course and rental properties worth over $3 million. Through their story you will learn the surprising fact that even if you have cheap rent you can’t get rich renting! You must first own a home, and make it the foundation on which you build your financial security.

What makes The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner essential:

  • You don’t need a big down payment to buy a home.
  • You don’t need great credit. You should buy even if you have credit card debt.
  • You can buy a second home even if you’re still paying off the first.
  • You can get started in any market - boom or bust.
  • It’s easier to be a landlord than you think.

Whether you are a renter or already own a home, David Bach gives you a lifelong strategy for real estate based on timeless wisdom that is tried and true. He includes everything you need to know, with step-by-step instructions, including phone numbers and websites so you can get started right away. His road map to ownership is easy to follow and, best of all, it makes the process totally automatic.

As long as you’re alive, you have to live somewhere. Why not let where you live make you rich? David Bach will show you how.

Great Book with Realistic Approach!

This is a great book outlining a no-nonsense approach to real estate investing. Very practical with no hype, just common sense. Very thorough on every step of the home buying/investing process. Highly recommended!

Good only if you are completely new to the concept

While this book wasn't bad, I didn't learn a lot about home buying. The author provide some very grounded advice about how best to invest in real estate for the long run.

If you are renting today and really don't know much about real estate, how it can benefit you, or where to start - then this book is for you! Consider this a 5 star rating.

For the rest of us who generally have a notion of what real estate is, how it can be a useful investment, and fundamentally where to begin - you won't glean a lot of new insight from this book. The information contained within is what I would classify as life advice. It is not a good reference to use as an introduction to the home buying experience, either for individual or investment purposes.

Common Sense for the complete idiot

All of David Bach's Books are great. I recommend this for young couples and older as it is a guide to safely investing and not a get rich quick rather a get rich before you retire.

Not relevant

I had to laugh at points in the book where he referenced how easy getting a mortgage can be and how lenders have few requirements to buy a home. Considering the book was written pre housing crisis, a lot has changed! Much of the book was not relevant to current times in the economy.

OUTDATED!

This book is terribly outdated. Written in 2005. Author says housing will always go up and how ownership leads to wealth. All the people "underwater" in 2011 would have to disagree!

David Bach is an Angel

I’m currently reading all of his books for the first time and I am late to the game. He makes learning finance fun and motivating.

Extremely informative

I will read this book until and after I own a home multiple times and promise to share with others. This need for this knowledge is very important!

Entryway to Wealth building through Home ownership

Just started looking for my first home and I'm so glad I read/(listened to) this before I did. So much good information, no crazy schemes, just hard facts. Good references and resources included.
