The ABCs of Real Estate Investing: The Secrets of Finding Hidden Profits Most Investors Miss (Rich Dad's Advisors (Paperback)) Paperback – February 21, 2012

Very interesting book, very helpful , this book change my mind I fully recommend this book

This book is a gem. The things I learned from Chapter 7 alone were worth the purchase of this book many times over. It shows you exactly how to analyze and accurately price any property, so that you can be 100% sure you are making a fair offer and getting the best price, not just a low-ball offer based on your "gut" instinct. To me, this kind of knowledge is priceless. Moreover, you will learn the ins and outs of every important thing you'll need to know in order to establish a long-term, highly successful career in real estate investing. Even if you're a seasoned real estate investor, chances are you will learn some new things from this book that you weren't aware of before.The great thing about this book is that Ken McElroy isn't some novice trying to get rich selling a get-rich-quick book. His methods have been proven time and time again, making multi-million dollar investments for over 15 years. I've seen courses by Carleton Sheets and others, and this book absolutely puts them to shame. This information is 10x more valuable than most of the other garbage out there. It wastes no time getting straight to the point of how to be a successful investor. You can't lose with the stuff you'll learn from this guy!Ken McElroy's writing style is a bit different from Robert Kiyosaki's. I personally prefer Robert's style, but the value of the information in this book is so great, most people won't mind the difference.I'd definitely recommend this book to anybody interested in real estate. Ken lays it all out for you, taking away nearly all the guess-work, confusion and unexpected surprises of this investment class. By all means, buy this book and read it. It will be well worth your time.

First, if you're looking for a book about flipping houses this probably isn't the right one for you. It may have some useful tips, but this for someone who wants to get into real estate for the long haul (i.e. purchasing and renting). But if you're looking for an idea of how to get started in real estate and have long term, sustainable income this book is for you.I'm just getting started in this industry, and I was looking for a book that gave me an idea of what the process looks like start to finish, and what to expect entering the property management arena. I have read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and I really liked it, so I figured this was a good option to start with. I'm glad I did because this is exactly what I was looking for in a property investment book!Entry level, high level over view of the entire process from looking for a property to things to be aware of and making offers. If you're experienced in real estate you probably won't get much from it other than maybe setting goals and how to value a property, but that may depend your time in the industry and what you specialize in (consumer purchases vs investment properties). Any way you look at it this book is a quick read and good starting point for anyone looking to get into the real estate investment scene.

This was a good book, but unfortunately misleading to me. I like to watch Ken and believe he is great at what he does. I was led to believe this book could help me Understand the ABC’s of home real estate investing. What the book is about is property management and using teams to acquire million dollar apartment, condo or townhome complex’s using teams and investors.There is good info in the book and I learned some things, but I was hoping for a book about investing into homes. You can use some of the info he gives for this too, but mostly it’s for complex’s.Unlike all of Kiyosaki’s books, and I’ve read them all, Ken actually gives real life examples of how to do the things he says. Kiyosaki gives you all the problems, but never any solutions to actually earning residual income. It’s marketing so you will buy his courses or go to the $10k seminars.I say this because Kens book is on the rich dads publishing company. Didn’t know that until I got it.So it’s a pretty good book, and might add good value to you if your looking to do mega deals and form teams to purchase apartments.Also good to learn some vetting techniques about geographical areas, and that was the best part for me.
