About this item

It’s time to stop just thinking, talking, or dreaming about the future real estate investing can give you. It’s time to start doing...and this audiobook will show you exactly where to start.

Everyone knows real estate investing can be a powerful way to build wealth and achieve true financial freedom. But because each person’s journey is different, knowing the first steps to take can be challenging.

That’s why two of the biggest names in the real estate world teamed up to create the most comprehensive manual ever written on getting started in the lucrative business of real estate investing. Josh Dorkin and Brandon Turner - longtime hosts of the world’s number-one real estate podcast, The BiggerPockets Podcast - give you an insider’s look at the many different niches and strategies that exist. Find which one works best for you, your resources, and your goals.

Unlike most traditional real estate guides, this one won’t tell you there is “one secret path” to real estate success. Instead, it dives into dozens of unique, life-changing quests and is packed with more than 40 real-life stories of how real estate investors are finding success in today’s economy.

What’s inside:

  • How to invest in real estate while working a full-time job
  • The truth about LLCs and corporations
  • How to earn more at work (or on the side) so you can invest more
  • Getting your spouse on board with real estate investing
  • Eight unique property types you can invest in today
  • Eleven powerful strategies for building wealth through real estate
  • A total of 28 tested methods for finding great real estate deals
  • Partnerships, BRRRR investing, and other creative ways to fund your deals
  • And so much more!

I’m barely starting to get into real estate and this book is filled with the best advice on real estate. I am amazed at how simple it’s laid out I wish I had read this book when I was younger. I’m looking forward to using the knowledge of this book to close on my first deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Comprehensive Overview of Real Estate Investing
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018
This is a great, easy to read book! I began educating myself on the power of real estate about 3 months before reading this book, but as I had yet to make a deal, I figured I would pick up this book. From the various books I had already read, and the Bigger Pockets Podcast (also 5 stars, 10/10 would recommend that you listen to it) I already had a general understanding of many of the topics covered, but it allowed me to cement that knowledge and still pick up quite a few additional tidbits of information.

This would be a great book for anyone just starting in real estate investing, or for someone that is seeking information on other strategies that may not be using currently.

I herewith claim the following.
Two books received in damaged condition.
1) "Exactly what to say to close the deal" and 2) "Mastering Quick Books 2021" came wet and not usable.

As always, Bigger Pockets delivers realistic, actionable strategies for creating wealth through real estate.
One thing I really appreciate about Bigger Pockets is their commitment to promoting ethical, reciprocal behavior, which I understand is not always the case in the real estate space. Its about developing good relationships for the long term win. That makes it more exciting and less scary to pursue my real estate goals.
