In a bull market, everyone seems like a genius.
Though the advice contained in this book is, in general, sound, following it will lead the average American on a sure path to misery. That is probably why the first section—almost 100 pages—is a rambling pep talk with about as much relevance to real estate as real analysis. The book fails because it does not do enough to explain the harsh realities of real estate investing.

Best Book on Real Estate Investing that I have read. Gary Keller is an excellent writer. He describes several strategies on real estate investing and creates a cohesive and detailed account. It will inspire you to start investing! Wealthy people pay themselves first and invest in assets (anything that puts money in your pocket each month). Even if you are saving money each month to eventually buy an asset you are headed in the right direction. It you only owned 4 rental properties (debt free), y...more

I have read over 30 real estate books, and I think this is one of the best. It gives a good roadmap to the journey of real estate investing.
Not sure how much of the info in this book will be a take away for me personally. As predicted, the book like many real estate investing books seems to promote highly leveraged positions on holdings and seems to negate the risk of assuming all of this debt with the assumption of purchasing the property at a severe discount. I did like that the author clearly did a ton of research with actual investors (including himself) that are in the trenches and know the nuts and bolts of making money in rea...more
Slow starter, but I've gained a great amount of knowledge from this book. It gets more interesting at the end. I definitely will be reading this book again.

This book is a great introduction to real estate investing as well as a great method to help build a successful career in this field.
*Required reading*
Financial independence is what most people call retirement. That is finally having the resources to live without working. The reality is that most people today reach retirement age without those resources in place. There are no more golden parachutes, no more pensions, and social security is a bigger oxymoron than the term military intelligence.

Parts of this book pissed me off. A lot of baby boomers, in the old economy, talking about how smart and savvy they were when they made it big.
I nearly threw the book, reading the gem about the guy who was 'so savvy' that he bought his first investment property with money he saved from a part time job.
Sorry guys, but it just doesn't work that way any more, perhaps you were smart and savvy, but you were also operating in a completely different world: a world where you could work your way through...more

My Review:
Reading this book is like experiencing a few years of hands on real estate tactics all in one sitting. It is the one I recommend to people who are looking to get into real estate investing. It's one of those books I wish I had before I got into the game. It offers lots of great advice for beginners and exonerates what I learned while playing the real estate game.

Its too positive and filled with too many platitudes. Written by and for people who were investing prior to the housing crash where people thought and acted like there was no limit to the housing market. Despite that, there is a lot of good advice in the middle part of the book about how to make sound choices and to plan ahead. One of the most useful things in the book isn't even purely about real estate investment, but rather a critique of the way people use their money and finance their curren...more

Being the first true book I've read on real estate investing, I am excited to continue in my education. Along with this book I've been watching a fair bit of videos on the subject and am ecstatic to learn more. Growing up, I watched my Dad own a single rental property next to my grandparents' that both allowed my sister and me to go to college and offered some financial peace-of-mind to my parents. Having seen it in-action, I feel confident moving forward, to even greater depths, to invest in my...more
My thesis is that money skills are not thought at school, and if you don’t come from a wealthy family, your parents don’t have the skills to share in order to get change your thinking about finance, how to create passive income and change your mindset from a consumer to an investor and reflect about financial independence.

I've read this book 1.5 times. The first time (many years ago), I didn't get the whole way through it, but probably more because of my own interest than because of the book itself. Now I'm getting serious about real estate investing and I'm more motivated, so I easily finished it.
My biggest gripe about the book is that the organization of it confused me. The author has divided it up into 'Think a Million', 'Buy a Million', 'Own a Million', and 'Receive a Million'. The first half was fine, but wh...more

So far this is the most thorough and complete guide to real estate investing that I've read. While it doesn't discuss all of the various real estate strategies it dives deep into the financial fundamentals of life and real estate investing and uses some of the most common real estate investing models to demonstrate.
I love that it runs mathematical modeling through various scenarios to demonstrate the relative benefits of different strategies. It's not to say that one strategy is better than the...more

A lot to learn from this book. The first half was a way to change one's thinking about money and investing. The big takeaway is to have big goals, big habits, and eventually have big results. As a real estate book it teaches the way to think about processes and the way to not get burned. Buy right regardless of economy and have process of making investment decisions without being emotional. The book was light on actual strategies, but shows the reader the many ways to make money in real estate....more

Mostly beginners stuff.
A lot of 'self-help' stuff that doesn't relate directly to real estate, but obviously it's part of the gimmick.
It's like the 'intelligent investor' but for real estate. I didn't like the intelligent investor, neither this book.
I'd love more details about which locations are good or not, which materials are good or not, furniture, etc...

It breaks the process down into “think a million” “buy a million” “own a million” receive a million”
Gary Keller then breaks these concepts down even further
He teaches future investors all of the tricks of the trade from different forms of financing all the way to setting up your team

This book is very motivating in the beginning to make you think like a investor. The first part is what I liked the most.
The part about the how to become is kind of large and not very specific to tell you how it works step by step. It is great to give you a great overview, but you need to study more after that. Not one book will make you an investor.
Liked the motivational and learning part thought!

I wish I would have read this as my first book on real estate. The first part of the book is understanding how to think about wealth and real estate and then to think even bigger about your goals. How you think about real estate will determine your strategy so this is why I feel the first part of the book is so important. Gary Keller gives away a lot of nuggets of gold in this book and I would recommend it to anyone trying to build a foundation of real estate investment knowledge.

I couldn't help but to compare this book to Rich Dad Poor Dad. When I read RDPD, I felt that the author was extremely brief on the specifics of how to build wealth through real estate. This books felt like an extension of RDPD because Keller picked up where Kiyosaki left off, and painted an in-depth picture of what a millionaire real estate investor looks like. I would recommend this book to any new or potential real estate investor.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I think the author did a very good job of succinctly explaining real estate investing in as simple terms as possible. He stressed that hard work was required but that real estate investing is very possible. I would definitely recommend to those interested in real estate investing.
start with question, im an investor, where is the opportunity today?
buy at 20% discount, margin of safety
have the specific criteria listed, the price, discount , the cash flow, the appreciation, hassel, liquidity
repeat your success , the price range, the location, the prospective tenant
pick a niche, to get rich, master the niche, and own the niche , stick to it

The best book I’ve ever read for comprehensively putting yourself in the correct mindset and financial position to gain true wealth and get what you really want out of life. Beyond recommended for anyone interested in real estate or interested in gaining financial freedom.

Keller's book is solid. Despite the click bait title, it's really about building wealth slowly. Keller's message is find good deals pay under fair market value and build wealth. Keller also talks about how to build wealth you must live below your means. Pretty straight forward but the book has lots of practical algorithms for assessing properties, etc...

Nice intro to the fundamentals of real estate. I listened to it on YouTube, and wish I'd have searched for the diagrams before beginning (they are online). Regardless, I liked the way it was written, positive and realistic.
The book was written many years ago. Some of the statistics are old and may not hold true in today’s market. Numbers may also differ if you are looking in markets outside of the United States. However, the underlying principles are still relevant.
