Extremely detailed, lots of charts, graphs, etc.. But it's not quite "doing it" for me. I wouldn't reco reading this unless you are an extremely analytical person.

I thought it would have something about financing but it didn't.

It took me a long time to pick this book up off of my shelf and finally read it. I suppose I thought it would be more like studying and less an enjoyable read. However, this book really surprised me. While the book is mainly about buying and selling real estate, which is of course interesting, I thought it would be solely about the subject but it actually contains some really good lessons and advice for any type of business. As a matter of fact, it was full of positive comments and self improvement tips that could apply to any situation in life. As a small business owner I feel like I can put much of the advice to work for me, even though I don’t work in the real estate field.

He's a schmuck, but this book, written by a protege of his, is one of the most insightful and helpful i've read with the least "Real Estate guru" feel

After reading Donald Trump's books "The art of the Deal" and the "Art of the Comeback" I picked this book up. It looked more like a text book or how-to so I was excited to dive in after reading his biographical style previous books. It sat on my shelf for a week with that big Trump name sparkling in gold and his face on the cover. I finally got around to reading it and realized he wasn't the author but only had written the foreword. Robert Kiyosaki slaps his name on purple and black books in a similar way as Trump but I think he has been a bit more successful at this branding. I find this practice somewhat annoying but I have to hand it to both of them at getting the most out of their brands. I hope to one day have other people write books and slap my name on the cover to sell more copies.
So, after ten minutes of feeling tricked by Trump I flipped through and decided to give Gary W. Eldred a shot. He didn't disappoint in fact he did a fantastic job. As I read more and more real estate books this one surely did have a lot of overlap, but it did excel at making me think about re-purposing houses in a way that would make them more profitable. His thoughts on market segments in Chapter 7 were new to me, and will help me make money in the future. I'm especially referring to the part about college students and seniors. I see these as two rapidly expanding segments and so do the authors.
Also I've been guilty of focusing solely on price and not paying attention to some of the other deal points like available financing included in Real Estate deals so this was a good reminder. Using the Comparative Sales, Cost Approach, and Income approach is nothing I have not seen before but using them all together to create an Estimated market value is a logical extension.
In the end this book made me smarter, and isn't that what all books are designed to do? I'm going to keep picking up Trump University books even if they aren't actually written by Donald himself.

I was expecting it to be a step by step guide on how to buy houses and rent them out or sell them to make profits but it was just waffling and motivating the reader telling people why they should invest in the real estate business. The trump university is a crooked school that is set out to rob poor people who lack business knowledge by selling them dreams and not showing them how to really make money from the real estate business. These millionaires and billionaires don’t want people to know their secrets to success as it will lead to them having too much competition in the business industry.

Real estate! The book wasn't written by Trump, it was great. For example, treat tenants like customers and adapt the unit to their needs. Find the best strategy for the market.
