Investing in Real Estate
Product Description
A fully revised, new edition of one of the bestselling real estate investing guides of all time
Through its five previous editions, Investing in Real Estate has shown investors how to intelligently build wealth with their investments in houses, condominiums, and small apartment buildings. Unlike many titles in this genre, Investing in Real Estate steers clear of the hyped-up “no cash, no credit, no problem” promises. Instead, it provides sound, real-world advice and instruction that reflects the author’s time-tested wisdom and experience. This book shows you how to invest profitably, safely, and reliably as you navigate the risks and opportunities of today’s property market. It covers all the topics investors need to master, including how to find, negotiate, finance, lease out, and manage your property acquisitions. Plus, you will discover how to add tens of thousands of dollars of value to nearly any property. Whether you plan to start investing or move your current investing strategy to a higher level, two decades of sales success testifies to the fact that this investing guide stands superior to any others that you will find.
This new edition covers all the recent changes in the market, including the latest housing rescue legislation from Congress, a historical review of how to profit from property cycles, and insightful new ways to gain from the current excess inventories of for-sale properties, foreclosures, and REOs.
• Author Gary W. Eldred has also authored ten other successful real estate titles, including The Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Investing, The 106 Mistakes Homebuyers Make—and How to Avoid Them, and The 106 Mortgage Secrets that All Borrowers Must Learn—but Lenders Don’t Tell
• Completely revised to cover current ways to prosper in today’s property markets
• Includes new, insider techniques for foreclosure investing
• Features fifteen new ways to profit with property investments
• Shows you how to buy properties for less than they are worth from many sources including auctions, bank sales, and homebuilders
Investing in Real Estate, Sixth Edition retains its premier position as the most reliable, informative, and comprehensive guides to successful real estate investing.

The book doesn’t help you learn real estate at all. The book just gives you pros and cons against investing in stocks.

I just received this book in the mail today. Have not had a chance to read it, but by just scanning through it I can tell you that if you are interested in REI, this is the first book you should get. It is layed out perfectly, seems to get straight to the point whilst covering everything. If you’ve read a Carleton Sheets course, you will find this to be MUCH more concise. Can’t wait to read it.

The “excerpts” from the book reveal that this book is mostly about WHY to invest in real estate…not HOW !!! I want definitive steps to take on how to invest. I don’t want to be convinced that real estate is better than stocks, etc. I already know this! That’s why I want to buy this book. So the reviews above seem exaggerated and inaccurate.

I admittedly have not read this book. However, I glanced through it a number of times and to me it appears to be an excellent and well-priced publication in real estate. More in point, I have seen other works of this author and in my opinion–partially based I suppose on fact that I do some writing and reviewing in real estate (computations, law and math) and am a real estate attorney/instructor!–this author is first rate. McLean does not write nonsense or frilly “get rich quick” marketing-based stupidity! His work, like everything I have seen from his publisher (Wiley) is first class.
Finally, when this book arrived I put the unopened box into a large envelope and sent it to my cousin “G” in Arizona. This book, I feel (along with my “Professional Real Estate Problem Solving Using the HP-12C”) will hopefully give my cousin a decent if not solid foundation in what is pretty much needed as a prospective real estate investor-type.
I regularly recommend this book to people who call me from all over the country, assuming, of course, they ask for a recommendation for a no-nonsense, fairly priced real estate investment-type book.
I caution, respectfully, that there are absolutely no “easy” answers to success in this business. None of us has “all” the answers. Hard work and perserverence, fair dealing and always following good/ethical business practices trumps any book, mine well included.
A for real author and a for real publisher. That’s it folks.
2/4/2010! OK, I PURCHASED THIS BOOK A FEW YEARS AGO, READ IT, AND STAND BEHIND EVERY WORD I SAID ABOVE! BOOK IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY AND THE TIME NEEDED TO READ IT.
