"I've been investing in real estate since 2004, owning 13 houses at one point. I wish I had this book when I was starting out, as it would have saved me a lot money from deals I should have passed on. It's not hard to make a $20,000 mistake in real estate. If this book helps you avoid making even one such mistake, it's worth it."

"I see so many aspiring investors stuck in 'analysis paralysis', going to seminars for years and never making an investment! What they're missing is the ability to independently evaluate whether an investment is sound enough that they can take action. This book helps fills that void."
