Dolf de Roos

I agree that investment properties are not worth it unless there is a positive cash flow. Only wish the book would have educated the public more against no-down, adjustable or neg-am mortgages. It is NOT always wise to use the bank's money to make money. See the mess we're in with our current housing crisis!

In this book Dolf de Roos has set out to purchase 52 houses in a year or one per week. The book has everything you need to do the same step by step. Contracts in accordance to what state you are in, negotiation letters, joint-partner agreements. Everything. Do you need to get 52 properties. No probably not but you could use this book to purchase 2 - 3 per year. The only downside, it is for the USA only.

This book is a list of ways to increase the value of your real estate whether it be residential or commercial some of the techniques used here are from the Author and some from other real estate investors from professional to amateurs. It covers everything from painting to building a carport to a helipad.

It's been a while since I read this book it deals with what is exactly in the title getting rich using real estate. The book mostly deals with residential real estate as oppose to commercial and is specifically written for the American market as there are certain things in there that are not available for Australians such as fixing your interest rate for 30 years.
