Summary: "Outstanding!"
First of all I should note that I'm a novice when it comes to Real Estate Investing. I've read one other book on the subject and that was "The Unofficial Guide To Real Estate Investing". Although that book was very good, this is truly an excellent book. I must've read at least 20 Dummies Series book's, and this is one of the best. Note, this book is packed with info. it took me 40 hours to read it the first time through (I'm a slow reader), and now I'm going for a second run.

Summary: "Not 2002-2005 anymore"
Not a bad book. I'm writing this review late in 2008, so many of the items the book talks about would probably be a HUGE money risk right now. Maybe pick it up when the real estate industry picks back up...ummm...maybe around 2012. Unless you have cash on hand now to invest in foreclosures or something along those lines. Good informative read nonetheless though.

Summary: "How quickly the tide turns"
This was all great advise for 2005-2006. Now here we are 2008 and everything is upside-down and the best and safest investments appear to be short-sales and various wholesale flipping stategies for investment. As I read the book I kept being reminded of how a changing market requires a changing approach to investing.
