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…

Upon the completion of reading this book, I realize that the authors have set a new and comprehensive standard for real estate investors. Investment in Real Estate is an interesting and often frustrating process. Don’t let the title fool you, this is a SERIOUS book for serious real investors whether novice or veteran.
The authors obviously know their subject, which is highly diverse. You are guided around pitfalls, and problems. It’s almost like you have a wise sage holding your hand because the authors have “been there and done that”. I appreciated their candor and honesty throughout the book, but in particular their take on the “information guru’s” who sell their get-rich-quick real estate tapes and CD’s on the unsuspecting public.
All you other real estate authors take note. You have a new standard to shoot for. Five stars, easy.

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.

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…

I have done some investing on my own but wanted to learn more about real estate. This book is awesome. It covers the basics and more complicated real estate investments. I now know what types of real estate I am going to pursue and how to analyze them. I read the entire book but I am sure I will keep coming back to it for the worksheets and checklists.

Gotta Get Me Some Land!
Authors Eric Tyson and Robert S. Griswold (the ‘S’ stands for ‘$old’) do an excellent job of breaking down the often confusing and risky world of real estate.

I am only mid-way through this book but it has already answered so many of my questions (that another book did not)! I am new to real estate investing but not new to real estate. This book is layed out (like the rest of the Dummies books) in a very easy to follow format. It points out items to definitely remember when considering transactions and also points out warnings.
Also, since they have no agenda other than to help you understand the process, they did not try to sell you anything (i.e.; get rich quick schemes). This Dummies book gives it to you straight — Why you should invest in real estate; How real estate investments stack up against other types of investments, such as stocks, etc.; The benefits of building your wealth by staying in for the long term; What cash flow to expect in the short term, including the possibility of negative cash flow.

Details, details and more details …
This book is a great companion to other books of a more thoeretical nature. Many real estate books focus on why you should invest and the benefits of investing.
