Negotiation, property taxes, and location, location, location: how can players in the real real estate game earn big bucks, avoid forfeiting their property, and successfully sell in any market? This detailed guide by respected expert Carolyn Janik shows how, and learning the tricks of the trade has never been more fun! There’s never a dull moment in this authoritative, playfully designed, and often humorous book, inspired by the ever-popular board game.
Janik walks readers through the big decisions and crucial considerations involved in getting in and getting out of the real estate marketplace…profitably. She comprehensively examines such important subjects as becoming a landlord, buying foreclosures, power marketing, and making money in a down market. These serious issues are broken up by entertaining MONOPOLY(R) graphics, icons, and informational boxes—including Don’t Go to Jail!, Community Chest, and Chance. With its light touch, occasional smile, and all-inclusive information presented in an approachable style, this handy guide introduces the newcomer to the strategies of this somewhat risky but potentially lucrative profession.

Reviews
There are lots of books on strategies for playing the actual Parker Brothers game of Monopolyâ„¢, but Janik, a realtor, recognized expert, and veteran real estate author, uses the board game's familiar features as an extended metaphor in a guide that advises readers on getting into the real real estate game. She covers the territory in sections titled "Getting In," "Getting Around," and "Getting Out," where she explores how the market works for investing purposes, as well as for buying and selling a family home. Readers will learn how to manage offers and counteroffers, the nature of purchase and sale contracts, the ins and outs of tax sales and foreclosures, and what it takes to be a landlord. Janik uses familiar Monopolyâ„¢ icons such as Community Chest and Chance to highlight tips, cautions, and definitions. Her excellent coverage on both hot and cold markets is particularly timely and makes this a recommended title for general readers looking for a good grounding on the subject.—Joan Pedzich, Harris Beach PLLC, Rochester, NY
