One can only begin to imagine the possibilities within the real estate industry especially once you understand how to play the game! Brandon really offers a TRUE guide to creative investing strategies that make sense in today's economic climate! Especially since I'm in the Southern California market where 3bd/ 2ba 1500-2000sq ft homes average in the $600k-$1m!!!!, I'm happy I found out about Bigger Pockets ????????????

I found chapter 9 to be my favorite because I plan on enter real estate using the wholesale strategy! I've purchase plenty of other books and education on the subject but never once did I "feel" confident in the information that I received from those resources until I stumbled onto this book

If you are looking for a crash coarse, step by step, no filler, engaging read then buy this book along with, "The book on estimated rehab cost & The Flipping Book" {Both books are written by J.Scott and compliment this book}

No matter what your background there are ample of strategies one can utilize today! After reading this book and knowing that I have two other books to study, I can no longer make the excuse of not knowing what to do! I will update this post after I receive,y first assignment check or close my first deal, BE ON THE LOOKOUT

Great information...but:

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2017

Would-be real estate investors will learn a wealth of information in this well-written book. Several tools are laid out for you, and while some are a bit technical, the author uses plain English examples to make otherwise confusing tips and processes come to life.

Unfortunately, all great real estate deals rely on the initial seller getting a poor price for their property. Spin it any way you wish ("Clarence sold his home to a wholesaler and escaped the double mortgage payments that were drowning him!" He did, but got 60% of his home's value.), you cannot make money in real estate without somebody else losing money. Sure, there's the house flipping strategy where you buy cheap and restore the property, but even that's a situation where the seller loses because they can't afford the repairs themselves.

To the author's credit, he recommends strictly ethical practices, finding "great deals" notwithstanding. There are certainly a number of dirty tricks that allow a savvy person to take advantage of those with meager means or poor credit. The author warns sternly against these, and gives some genuinely useful advice for creatively investing without fleecing those who are down on their luck.

It is worth mentioning that the author seems genuinely motivated to teach, rather than trying to make his fortune by selling you and endless string of books to teach you how to make yours. Most of the additional resources mentioned are free, and other books mentioned are usually written by other authors.

As with any investment, there are numerous hazards and pitfalls; perhaps more here due to the "no or low money down" approach. But, the author does identify these, and gives appropriate words of warning. Anybody can creatively invest in real estate, but it is clear that not everybody should.

Motivating, Now time to put it into Action

Great Book, I enjoy Brandon’s personality. I can say that clearly theses concepts won’t be easy but he explains that from the first page. It’s about the actions that you take and applying these concepts that are key. I’ll be reading more of his books.

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2022

The information here is extremely valueable. Every single chapter is very well explained. The real life examples also make it so much easier to understand the benefits and risks associated with a certain strategy, and how it can be executed. Must read for real estate. It really opens your mind to the possibilities with creative investing!
