User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Informative, but many other options
As a beginner in investing I am at a point where I’m still learning the tricks of the trade. Though this book was infromative I still have to favor the others I have read specifically, “The Pizza Delivery Millionaire”..by Rick Vazquez. It’s sold here on Amazon and also on their website for an affordable price..which I think is a great deal if

1. you are intimidated by investing

2. You want to start investing but have no idea where to start

That book is great!

2 Stars Good author, not some of his best work
I don’t know, I thought this seemed like a great idea. And maybe in some markets it is. In Philadelphia, it’s different from the authors home of Florida and I just didn’t get anything out of reading this book. When he says options are a little known used RE tool, he ain’t lying! After reading Mr. Lucier’s book I realized that this was a concept that was completely impractical for me. Some of his stories about finding warehouses that sat vacant for years, cleaning the floor and a coat of pain and voila! $25000 profit, well, they just seem totally out there to me. If you think you can make a go of it, yes, it takes little money but this concept is seldom used and not going to work in many places.

5 Stars This Book Really Will Teach You How to Make Money — Buy It!
I’ve heard good things about Thomas Lucier’s books, so I approached this one with high expectations and he didn’t let me down. He illuminates the argument for this powerful investing tool — namely, real estate options.

Good even for beginners, Lucier starts with a basic introduction to real estate option investing before moving on to the details. I especially liked the chapter on how you can use options to profit from problem properties that other investors might shy away from — knowing how to put deals together where other investors can’t or won’t can give you a leg up on the competition in a time when I’ll take what I can get.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I should say that I am an attorney, real estate broker, investor, trainer, and author of another unique and highly readable book on real estate investing that can also be found here on Amazon — The WealthLoop Series Beginner’s Guide to Building Wealth Buying Houses: The Foolproof Roadmap to Real Estate Riches Without the Risks and Hassles of Landlording.

Lucier has written an informative book that’s worthy of your time. Buy it if you are serious about making a success of real estate investing.

5 Stars Great instructive book
This book is exactly what I was looking for. I was interested in getting started in buying and selling real estate options and this book gets to the heart of it. There are a multitude of great suggestions, tips, and instruction. I would be lost without it. There are even sample forms. Worth twice the price!!

4 Stars Unique but Highly Profitable Real Estate Investment Strategy
Real estate options are a very little used tool in the business, possibly because many people confuse them with land contracts. RE Options are nothing like land contracts, in a land contract you are obligated to buy. In an option you have the option of purchasing at a preset price. A number of examples are given and this is a well written book for people who have never attempted this. I recommend this book to all RE investors and Realtors.

Seven out of every 10 millionaires have made their money in real estate investment. But, unlike many real estate investors, the truly wealthy focus on commercial real estate, specifically multi-units (apartment buildings).

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Strategy but little substance
This book has a sound strategy in investing in apartments of 10-25 units. However, when the author attempts detailed explanations, they’re either confusing or wrong.

An example in his section about structuring your business, “I recommend structuring each property as a separate corporation…”. No mention of using an LLC, the preferred real estate business structure. Then the author goes on to talk about partnership structures, while not mentioning the LLP structure (nevermind the corporation he advocated 3 pages earlier). Then he says everyone who contributes is a partner, including the bank from whom you borrow. The bank as a member of your legal partnership? I don’t think so, but this is an example of the lack of clarity and ensuing confusion that comes from this text.

The author talks about tax advantages to entice doctors to as partners, while completely failing to discuss what the investors tax advantages are when investing in real estate. Talk about missing the big picture.

4 Stars Overall good book
Overall good book. Deals with partnerships and different ways to structure them, which I have not read before as detailed as in this book. However, it leaves a couple of questions unanswered. The rest of the book is comparative to any basic/intermediate real estate book. Small investors looking for ways to grow should consider reading it.

5 Stars Yuriy Z
This is a great book for an investor who is new to real estate or for a real estate investor with some experience like me who is serious about real estate and understands that to be very successful, learning from seasoned, very successful investors like Gregory Warr can give you a huge advantage and help enormously in achieving the goal. For those of us without rich dads, being able to learn about “tricks of trade” straight from the source is invaluable.

I read the book from cover to cover on the day when I bought it. The book is easy to read and full of valuable and practical recommendations such as: invest in low- to middle-income housing as more people are looking for low- to middle income housing than those who are looking for high-income housing. Mr. Warr shares some insightful ideas about financing of properties, structuring the offer and negotiating, and managing multiunits. The book bursts with energy, which is very contagious.

It clearly shows that it is possible to create wealth and stability investing in multinunits and guides you how this can be done. The best part is that Mr. Warr shares a lot of his personal experience, so his examples and recommendations are very convincing.

After reading this book, I felt like a new door is now open for me. I am looking forward to closing on my first multiunit.

5 Stars So Easy, My 11 Year Old Understands It!
When I start in a new area of business, I am always afraid that I will pick up a book that is way over my head. This book really IS an easy to understand,”Step-by-Step Guide”! The glossary in the back of this book is worth as much as the rest of the book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in Multiunits. Also, if you get the chance to sit under Greg’s teaching in person…DO IT!

5 Stars Great information easy to follow
I have read and followed the steps in Greg’s book and have purchased my first multi-unit property.

The book is written in a simple format and easy to follow the steps to purchase multi-units.

Read and take all the pointers and buy units –it is the way to financial freedom.

How to Be a Quick Turn Real Estate Millionaire Make Fast Cash with No Money Credit or Previous Experience

Huge fortunes can be amassed by holding real estate for the long term-up to 20 or 30 or years in some cases. Yet most people don’t have the luxury of time and need cash to cover their day-to-day expenses.

To that end, nationally renowned real estate expert Ron LeGrand has developed a method of buying real estate to generate cash that he calls “quick turning.” Over the past 15 years, he has bought and sold more than a thousand properties for fast-cash profit using the method.

In Fast Cash with Quick Turn Real Estate: How Anyone Can Convert Single-Family Homes into Cash without Money or Credit, LeGrand shares this system for building long-term wealth. With wit and wisdom, he outlines four main categories of “quick-turn” transactions: retailing, wholesaling, assumptions, and lease/options. He helps readers understand which type of transaction is appropriate for their specific cash flow goals, and he reveals how-to secrets that real estate investors, and wannabe investors, can use to:

• Get rich on fixer-uppers without lifting a hammer.
• Find motivated sellers.
• Negotiate win-win deals.
• Sell houses fast.
• Succeed while others fail.

LeGrand also shares student success stories to make his material accessible and easily understandable.

5 Stars Good info until 2008
If you look at the market now…You will know what I am talking about it.

3 Stars LeGrand’s Real Estate
Fight The Good FightI’ve paid thousands of dollars to attend Real Estate seminars and have been a full time Real Estate investor. LeGrand is the king of selling product. The books are well worth the investment because you can usually learn enough to earn many times what you paid for the information in the book. On the other hand the seminars & courses are really pricey. Many people spend upwards of 20-30k on seminars without ever doing a real estate deal. LeGrand’s greatest student is probably Robin Thompson, the Queen of Rehabs, who has become a millionaire many times over using his techniques (I’m one of her students). I have a good friend who spent 5 grand for a LeGrand course and never made any money with it. In essence it all depends on the person. Some can take these techniques and become wealthy. Others can’t.

2 Stars Okay To Pass This One Up

5 Stars Here is the truth!
Ok, there are people on here rating this book 1 star because of the author trying to sell his course. I’ll tell you what, if all you do is take out a big black pen and go through the book and mark a big x over each of the pages that are testimonials trying to get you to buy his course, then yes, the book has 50 fewer pages…BUT it is a good sized book! Just simply don’t read those pages and really think about the quality of the rest of the pages and you will be rating this book a 5 instead of 1, its that simple. I went to a book store after reading the reviews of this book and did just that (without the pen) and was amazed at how low this book was rated with the large amount of high quality info in it.

5 Stars The BEST starter book for Real Estate Investors!
I must say I do not understand what any of the negative reviews are about. I have to say that I was skeptical before I read this book but after reading it (with an open mind) I can easily say this is the BEST book, far and away, that you will find for the starting Real Estate Investor! It tells you exactly what to say and do to be successful! My personal copy has been highlighted from cover to cover and I still use it as a reference book in looking for ways to increase my business. It is well worth the $20 investment ! A must have for the serious starting Real Estate investor!
