If you can't find your answer in the book, Mark even gives his email address so you can ask him directly.

Mark is a successful rental property owner, fix and flipper, and real estate broker. Mark has sold over 1,000 houses as a broker, flipped over 155 houses, and owns his own office, Blue Steel Real Estate. Mark bought his first rental property on his own in December 2010 and now has 19 rentals (commercial and residential). He has fixed and flipped houses since 2001, and has been a real estate agent since 200. Over the years, he has learned the best way to find rentals, get great deals, manage properties, finance properties, find great markets, and build wealth with rentals. In this book, Mark gives you all the information you need to be a successful rental property investor.

Must Read/Listen Before Investing

One of the few who don’t try and sell you their “multi-family system”. Very good information. I have listened to many books and this is top 3 if not 1 for sure. Highly recommended before you spend your money on real estate.

Great read for aspiring investor.

Insightful information and experience drawn from the authors journey. Although context is from a developed market, found some approaches worth considering even in a frontier market where I am from. Great read!

very educational!

great book! lots of info and can tell it comes from experience. not going to lie, there are some dry spots with lots of numbers but going back through to run them myself was very help full and one of the things I also appreciated.. after I did it. narration was also very good. it's a lot of data scenarios so it's hard to make it exciting but he is still able to pull you into the story which is an accomplishment of its own. thank you!

Straight forward approach

This book was great. As a real estate investor myself, I didn’t really expect a ton of new info. This book is great for new investors and seasoned investors alike. Mark does a great job of explaining all of the details/potential issues with each subject. He is non-biased about all aspects of real estate investing and offers the pros and cons of each so that the reader can decide which is best for them.

Awesome Listen!!!

great listen when wanting to get into real estate investing. lots of informative tips to help build your rental empire. RECOMMENDED READ!!!

One of my favorite real estate books.

Really enjoyed this book, it has a ton of great information. . . . .

Excellent and thorough

I read Rich Dad Poor Dad then found Marks book to learn more. This is an excellent book for me as an aspiring investor preparing to buy my first property. Rich Dad Poor Dad shed light on where to go. Mark shined a lot more light on how I can start getting where I want to go.

Mark's RE journey that's good to know

This book is basically a brain dump on several topics related to real estate investment (and more) by Mark. It could easily be split into 2-3 books with more details on certain topics. Nevertheless, it was a good listen and I was able to pick up some tips from Mark's impressive RE journey.

Great book for beginning and current investors alike

I really enjoyed this book and feel I learned a lot from it. You have to be careful with some of these books because some are just motivational ones that fill you with inspirational quotes, but no good information. This is not one of those, you will learn a lot, and I recommend reading it multiple times to get the most from it!

Spot on

I am in multi-family real estate and I am constantly trying to grow my knowledge of this industry. This book was spot on and perfectly informative. Every time I would wish to hear expansion on a subject, the next chapter would do exactly that. This book was a very easy read/listen and a great overview of real estate investing. I would love the next book to be commercial real estate specific.
