Real Estate Investing For Dummies

I've consistently found that these "...For Dummies" books are formulaic but helpful and well done. I got into real estate a bit many years ago but have forgotten a lot. I was confident that this book would be a good choice for bringing me up to speed again, and I was not disappointed. There are many good real estate books on the market which readers might subsequently consider if choosing to seek more depth and detail, but, if one simply wants to ask--and answer--the question, "Could real estate investing be for me?" this book provides a helpful--and most importantly--honest set of answers. The authors aren't trying to sell the reader anything. No schemes here, just the facts.

This book is very informative. Each section outlines a thorough process of how to purchase real estate. You can either read this book from cover to cover or use it as a reference guide. I bought this book months ago, made my first investment property purchase and still reference the book for guidance. Overall I'm happy with the purchase!

The advice in the book seems somewhat basic but that's the premise of "....for dummies" series. I enjoyed reading the book and learning/refreshing several great points about investing in real-estate. If I could share one thing with someone taking an interest in this book, it's this... keep your expectations in check and you will really have a great handy guide of do's and don't's when you do decide to jump in the market as an investor. By the end of this book, you will definitely NOT be a savvy real-estate investor but it will have given you several pathways that you can start pursuing. It's up to you to decide which one suits you. Good luck!

Really pleased with this purchase.

This book is crammed with lots of helpful information. It has so much information. I find that sometimes I feel the need to reread some sections to fully grasp all the info that it is being given.

The book is very basic so far which I assume is good for people who just want to read about real estate, but I find that most people want the know how, they want to be walked through the steps in starting out and most books fail to sum up the ideas in a realistic manner. Of course you will learn something from this book but i really suggest the bigger pocket brand and community (i am no sponsor or employee of bigger pockets).

As we all know, real estate is the most influential segment in the business market today. With that said having my business seen as subject matter experts within the real estate investment market is one of the reasons why we are in business. If you are an investor or looking to invest in real estate it would be great to say that, "Teonto Shon Brister & Co. are close friends of mine".

This book gives a great overview for beginners. It contains tons of advice and points you to the right resources to learn more about the real estate market conditions in a particular geographic area. By following Tyson's advice, you could avoid costly mistakes. Overall, great buy.

thanks

Love the book easy to read and gives alot of information

Muy instructivo. Recomendable. Es fácil de leer y el vocabulario que aprendes en inglés es muy bueno. Cómpralo y aprende.

The book useful and provided the basic information i needed to feel confident to expand my property portfolio. There's a lot of examples given but with American legislation/ tax laws, which isn't relevant to the UK but its given me the initiative to research more.

Didn't cover any Canadian content
