 Holy Moly! April 30, 2008

Thanks for the great advice, I am looking for a career change and was looking to get into real estate and this book and Mr Instability convinced me to give it a try!
 Why would you give away a great idea? April 30, 2008

If someone had a great idea on how to make money why would they tell everyone about it? Why not just got put your idea into practice and make all the money yourself? Because the author of this book is the nicest guy in history? I think it is because he can make more money selling you a bad idea than he can make exploiting the idea itself. That would mean the idea is not very good. Conclusion: Don't buy this book.
Another thing to note. All the other reviewers for this book that gave it four stars. Click on their names. They never reviewed a book before this one. Seem slightly suspicious? It does to me.
Run a search on Google for the title of this book. Find any sites that give a review? Find anything that would indicate how this book leapt to #1 on Amazon? Was the book discussed on any TV shows or on NPR or anywhere else? I didn't find anything.
Better yet, run a search on Google for the author of the book. That is where I found the interesting things.
Also go read the review for his other book: Emerging Real Estate Markets: How to Find and Profit from Up-and-Coming Areas
Here is what a reviewer had to say about that book:
Although the book discusses emerging markets (local markets on the upswing) this is standard advice given in any real estate book. It's not like the whole book specializes on that topic. The book focuses on multi-unit apartment buildings.
More accurate title: Decent book on investing in multi-unit apartments and lots of plugs for my website and products.
Very informative April 29, 2008

Most real estate books put me to sleep. This one kept me awake and taking
notes about the opportunities I now see in my local area.
It's a good read! April 29, 2008

I have Dave's earlier book on market cycles, and thought this might be the
same. It's not. Lindahl does mention market cycles in this book, but the
real focus is on how to reposition properties and make money quickly. I had heard of rehabbing, but never repositioning. It's a good read.
WOW! Another Great Book! April 29, 2008

Clear writing. Step-by-step instructions to follow. The best part is the
author has done these special "repositioning" deals himself and is not just
another guru who makes his money only from teaching. I can actually believe
and follow this guy.
