Very comprehensive. Explains many basic, important principles to real estate investing that are applicable to all types of investors getting a start. I highly recommend this to anyone looking into real estate investing at all. Very easy to read and interesting.

Yet another book cashing in on the real estate bubble. Dolf De Roos is another one of the motley cast of opportunists and scam merchants who jumped on the property speculation bandwagon and helped to fuel the boom of the late 90s and early 2000s.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Great book. Essential for the younger generation that’s wanting to get into real estate.

OPM.. tricky subject when you know borrowing isn't the best way

No new real estate buying secrets or revealing of financial resources to finance property acquisitions. At this period of our lives, when the whole book is common knowledge and an exaggerated picture of how easy to buy property. I have owned a multifamily residential building for over 27 years. I couldn't be happier when I got rid of it. In NY, the renting guidelines and laws protect only the tenants and allow them to freeload for up to a year on your property before you can even dispose of such trash. That does not count the lawyer's costs and court fees. To be blunt, in the USA it is a nightmare to buy and operate a profitable rental business in democratic states.
One last thing to mention is that this book must be updated and the author must specify the market or country that the author dreamed about.

I read this book when it was first released, around 15 years ago, and thought it was brilliant. I have read many property books since then but this remains the most helpful. I used the principles to buy a small collection of rental property which hasn't made me rich but has definitely helped my retirement fund. This is the first time I've reread this book and I think it still stands as a great primer for people who are interested in real estate investment. Highly recommended.

Dr. DeRoos lays out why he believes real estate to be the best game in town. He gives you a clear sense of the prionciples involved in this game.

While I'm not in love with the fact that this book is an entre into other work by him and services he offers, I can see how he really has no choice if he wants to keep this work to a manageable primer. In that sense, he does succeeed and He does gain one's trust so much so that if you are interested, you could probably do worse than follow up with him.

This book really has practical strategies. I followed every step and I saw great benefits in just a short period. The book is really good for people who have no idea how to make the best out of the money they have and also the people who are interested in real estate!

"Real Estate Riches"

This is the second book of Dolf de Ross that i read and i am convinced that investing in real state is the best way to invest your money. I strongly recommend this book to my anyone who is planning to by properties.

Again, I am against using a bank's money to make money unless the investor has an invested interest (i.e. 20% or more cash down).

A lot of positive cash flow situations require an initial investment.

I just wish this book would have emphasized this fact more.

I like these kinds of books because they give me ideas that I can adapt to my own situation -- and not have to take the advice verbatim.

Nice book to learn about property investment
