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

Customer Reviews:

Terrific stuff

By Anil Dham - May 19, 2005

Its a very comprehensive book detailing why and how to buy income producing property in a step by step process. Definitely is different from the rest of the "no money down, get rich overnight" stuff that is out there.

The book uses a mythical 10 unit apartment building purchase as the basis of the book, going from creative ways to write an offer, how to increase the intrinsic value of that 10 unit property (beyond the basic "raise the rent, lower the expenses" mantra), how to calculate cap rates, debt service coverage ratios, etc to knowing when to re-fi, sell, and other good stuff. I can say that I learned 3-4 new things that I hadn't realized before that I intend to immediately implement in my current apartment buildings and in order to pursue other deals.

I'd recommend this book to the "advancing" investor- ie Joe Investor who owns at least 1 rental property and is looking to get into investments bigger than the dup/triplexes but not the humongous 55 unit... read more

A pragmatic approach for achieving financial independence

By R. Goldman - January 17, 2005

As a successful part-time real estate investor, I've always been amused by the "get rich quick" real estate seminars and books that only seem to make their creators wealthy. Last month I was given a copy of this book, which I assumed fell into the above category, and reluctantly agreed to read it. Well, I was wrong. Mr. Friedman provides the reader with all the tools to evaluate, purchase, and operate smaller residential properties in a systematic way. You won't become Donald Trump overnight, but if you follow his methodology, you will achieve a measure of financial independence that good real estate investors enjoy.

Best I've Found Thus Far

By T. Mills - February 24, 2006

Of the three books I've read on investing in multi-family real estate, this is by far the best. The author does a good job of walking the reader through from start to finish the purchase of a representative property. In the appendix the author provides several very easy to understand and useful financial analysis templates which can easily be recreated in Excel or any other spreadsheet program.
