After beating back a slump a decade ago, real estate has rebounded in a big way for the Millenium, offering a hot investment vehicle that even novices can ride to riches.
The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing clearly shows that the secret in getting rich lies not in get-rich-quick schemes but rather in investing in a commodity that has been around since the beginning of time -- terra firma, property. A small capital investment today can be leveraged into huge profits tomorrow.
Readers learn how to:
- Buy and manage every type of investment property, from houses to condos to large units to commercial property to land for development
- Value property correctly
- Live through the "due diligence" period
- Handle tenant problems without turning into an 'evil' landlord.
