Very Disappointed, Please Read!!!
In all actuality, this book lacks all due diligence it portrays. I opened this book up after foolishly spending $12.00 on it and was disgusted by the integrity of the content. This is one of those late night real estate gurus throwing some words onto paper trying to call it a book but in all reality, trying to sell his real estate courses and seminars. I read through the book just because I spent the money and every other page was a sales ad for his course and seminar. I was disgusted and very disappointed. I have been in Real Estate for quite some time now with many deals under my belt, dealing almost exclusively with Rehabs. If your into the buy and hold strategy, I recommend anything by Robert Irwin, an excellent and down-to-earth author. If you are into rehabs, I would recommend "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fixer-Upers" by Stuart Leland Rider.....Best of Luck!

Want to Stop Spinning Your Wheels?
If you are in a real estate investing rut, sitting on that investing plateau, or are having trouble moving forward and need to sure-up your strategy, this book is an excellent resource to get you over the hump and on your way. I heard once a quote about investing that I think this book nails on the head, "At all levels of play, the secret of success lies not so much in playing well as in not playing badly." Anyone who has ever been involved in real estate investing, or any kind of investing for that matter, knows this to be fundamentally true.
Mr. Shemin, in this book and a couple of his other books I've read, has a way of breaking down those hard-to-understand "investing doctrines" and presenting them in laymen's terms, quite a feat given his background as an attorney, just kidding. I think here, he covers critical real estate investing material that is applicable to every real estate investor, regardless of level or experience. Two thumbs up.

Tired of making mistakes...BUY THE BOOK!!!
Where was this book three years ago? FINALLY a practical, step-by-step, how-to not book on real estate investing that will help any investor at any level avoid critical mistakes - that may cost you your business and will take away your peace of mind. Shemin - you solved many of my rental and tenant problems, taught me how to use systems, and implement policies and procedures so that I am now running my real estate investing business instead of it running me. After an assessment, I have made at least 35 of the mistakes. There is no way to tell how much money I lost or left on the table as a result of these errors. I am confident that I will not make these mistakes again and you have spared me from the additional 40 mistakes. Thanks for making my business work...just what the real estate investing Doctor ordered. THANKS!!! Similar Products
