Robert Allen's landmark manifesto "Nothing Down" demolishes that old tired and untrue statement. Nothing could be further from the truth. You see the way it goes is, it does take money...but it doesn't have to be your money.
With Nothing down you will learn how to buy real estate with none of your own money. You will learn how to negotiate like a pro. You will learn how to work with realtors.
Although written for the 90's (1991) the methods still work today. If the real estate bubble that so many people are calling for really happens, then this information will become all that much more valuable.
Great book Robert. A classic and a best seller for over 24 years. And for a reason----IT WORKS.
Using the advice in these two books, I was able to buy my first home with NOTHING DOWN and by investing in good, quality, cookie cutters was able to complete pay off my mortgage in five years.
I am debt free and financially independent thanks to the advice in these two great books.
As far as the so called realtor with licenses in Missippi and Florida, I know real estate investors in Florida and Georgia who are using Allens techniques successfully. Home owners near foreclosure look at us as a solution. They save their credit and get something out of their property. It's called "WIN/WIN".
And I am not picking on realtors. I know many realtors who also try to help people and are only concerned with their commissions. This so called "realtor" needs more training.
I highly recommend Mr. Allens books. I think these books get a bad rap because they appear to be "get rich quick" type of books. My goal was never to be a millionaire or "get rich quick." But by using the advice in this and Creating Wealth, I have been able to get richer, quicker, am debt free and financially independent. It doesn't take a million dollars, just the right plan.
Thank you Mr. Allen for a great, no, make that three great books. I also recommend "Multiple Streams of Income."
