The Real Estate Recipe: Make Millions by Buying Small Apartment Properties in Your Spare Time (Nuts & Bolts Series)

Other books on multi-family investing are good, but they do not provide the details that this book does, and that's what makes it stand out. The step-by-step approach in this book makes it possible to have some kind of plan to follow and succeed in real estate investing. In addition to teaching about how to analyze, purchase, and operate multi-family properties, the author includes various forms and checklists. They can also be downloaded from his website which saves you time because you don't have to retype them. I found the chapter on creating value through renovation fabulous. If you are starting out in multi-family investing, you will not be disappointed with this book.

I have read and own numerous books on real estate investment and found this one to be one of the most concise and detailed books on apartment house investing on the market.

I will be following the author's advice and begin investing in small apartment properties. If you are seeking true financial independence, you would be wise to purchase this book and not the crap promoted on late night t.v.

This is one of four books on purchasing and managing real estate that we purchased. Although pricey due to availability in hardback only, for those such as us that are first time buyers of commercial real estate, the data, clarity of thought and information will likely prove very valuable. It is a quick read that provides the basic tenets of buying multi-family units. The financial elements are fairly simplistic; hence we purchased an additional book that delves into the intricacies of purchasing and financing multi-family units.
