Excellent Approach to Investment

With all the "0-Down" "Make quick Profits" "Be a Real estate Millionaire" etc. stuff clogging the book shelves out there this author's sober buy-and-hold approach is salutary, insightful and refreshing. This is not a book for complete beginners and assumes some knowledge of real estate investment. This fact, as well as its complete absence of hype may be a turn off to some wannabe investors; but persons serious about entering and sticking with the real estate game will find it very instructive. And its actually fun to read with lots of anicdotes.

the best book on real estate investment

simply, this is the best book on real estate investment. Forget the nothing-down gurus, most of which make their money off seminars, not real estate. Learn from someone who actually practices what he preaches.I have over 100 books on real estate investing, this is the only one I really needed to buy!!!

Most helpful real estate book I've read!

Great book....It's a keeper. I bought this book and read all 338 pages in a week! David Schumacher is down to earth and realistic in his approach to real estate investing. His inside expertise as a former appraiser is invaluable to those who are looking to buy property with a huge upside potential.

Valuable Reading

This book manages to be insightful as well as entertaining. It's buy-and-hold emphasis is much welcome amidst the abundance of get rich quick texts out there. While most popular real estate books focus on various techniques for getting properties at a discount, this one takes the more sober approach of buying with substantial long term appreciation in mind - and explains how to accomplish this. Although occasionally a little repetetive the book is very well written and is rich in interesting concrete examples. It is aimed at persons who already have some investment experience.
