HOW TO GET STARTED IN REAL ESTATE INVESTING

Written by a real estate pro with many such books to his credit, this fast-moving abridgment offers the inside scoop on every aspect of real estate investing. With practical language, flowing examples, and no motivational hype, the author spells out the external and internal reasons that new real estate investors make mistakes they can easily avoid. He covers everything-property valuations, financing, options, raw land, commercial property, zoning, utilities, taxation, depreciation, rental contracts, and real estate agents-and his no-nonsense approach will make listeners think. His sobering advice on how to minimize risks is excellent. William Dufris's reading is well suited to this kind of material. T.W. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 05/ JAN 06]
