Over three decades, he learned to bank consistent profits as he built an impressive real estate mini-empire.

Solid advice

There are books about commercial real estate that offer all kinds of arguments on why they are better investments than houses. This author, on the other hand, offers the reverse argument, and I think it is the best I've ever heard. He says that houses are better investments than other property...

Common Sense Approach to Building Equity

Schaub provides a common sense approach to building equity over time via long-term ownership of single-family homes. Purchase one or more homes per year at 90% or less of market value, place 10% or less of the purchase price down and pay no more than a 10% interest rate. If you then hold those...

If you 're flipper or interested in flipping

I didn't expect to learn much from this book, and I wasn't disappointed. I only read the book because it was available from the local libarry. This book is for those interested in acquiring rental houses and accumulating over a lifetime. That aside, I didn't find any value to the book. You...

Entry level info

I was hoping for a text with more than the very basic, very repeated information in most books of this subject. If it's your first book on real estate investing, it will be great. If you're seeking more advanced subject matter, look elsewhere.

As a novice investor, I was able to learn some key strategies that I otherwise may have overlooked.For instance, why single family homes can offer...
