To explore and illustrate contemporary and evolving market conditions and investment opportunities, this newly revised edition will include the following:

 1.  Provide historical/cyclical context to emphasize the unprecedented combination of bargain pricing and near record low interest rates now available in most cities.

 2. Show how to meet and exceed today's changed loan underwriting standards. (Yes, loans are widely available-but readers/would-be investors must learn how to navigate the maze).

 3.  Discuss effective ways to successfully negotiate below-market prices with banks, distressed owners/mortgagors, and government agencies (HUD, FHA, Fannie, Freddie, etc.)

 4. Reveal methods that will make sure your appraisal comes in at the value you want/need for loan approval.

 5. Explain how to legally and ethically use easier/low down payment, owner-occupied financing to acquire investment properties.

 6. Guide readers through the new procedures and processes used to acquire REOs (relatively) quickly and on favorable terms as well as illustrate how to structure and complete short sales on favorable terms.

7. How to find motivated sellers and/or market properties through social media.

 8. Capitalize on the low CD rate environment to persuade sellers to offer OWC property financing-indeed, a large and growing number of sellers need no persuasion. OWC financing is being offered by tens of thousands of sellers already.

 9. Learn how to acquire properties through buying debt, subject-to agreements, and loan assumptions. (Yes, they are still available when you know where to look).

10. Discuss why today's prices (contrary to media mis-statements and err-prone commentators) are sure to increase substantially and how to identify the properties and locations that will experience the highest rates of appreciation.

In addition to the above (and many other) revisions that are especially crafted to address the new opportunities and challenges that will exist for the next several years, this 7th edition will achieve elevated standards for clarity, application, and time-tested investment principles and practices (p&p which were often forgotten or ignored during the boom years).

A fully revised, new edition of one of the bestselling real estate investing guides of all time

Through its five previous editions, Investing in Real Estate has shown investors how to intelligently build wealth with their investments in houses, condominiums, and small apartment buildings. Unlike many titles in this genre, Investing in Real Estate steers clear of the hyped-up “no cash, no credit, no problem” promises.

It covers all the topics investors need to master, including how to find, negotiate, finance, lease out, and manage your property acquisitions. Plus, you will discover how to add tens of thousands of dollars of value to nearly any property. Whether you plan to start investing or move   your current investing strategy to a higher level, two decades of sales success testifies to the fact that this investing guide stands superior to any others that you will find.

This new edition covers all the recent changes in the market, including the latest housing rescue legislation from Congress, a historical review of how to profit from property cycles, and insightful new ways to gain from the current excess inventories of for-sale properties, foreclosures, and REOs.  

• Author Gary W. Eldred has also authored ten other successful real estate titles, including The Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Investing, The 106 Mistakes Homebuyers Make—and How to Avoid Them, and The 106 Mortgage Secrets that All Borrowers Must Learn—but Lenders Don’t Tell

Quit your day job!

Make a million in real estate!

It's easier than you think!

A few years ago, Matthew Martinez was a lot like you - he worked hard to make as big a salary as he could. But it wasn't enough. He worked by the clock, and yearned to be his own boss. With a small amount of savings, he acquired his first rental property. Two years later, he was making more from his rentals than he was working 9 to 5, so he quit his day job to oversee his real estate investments. Today, he enjoys a multi-million-dollar collection of income-producing properties--and he's ready to share his money-making strategies so you can begin your own journey to career and financial independence.

Two Years to a Million in Real Estateshows you everything you need to know, including how to

Invest small amounts early-on while working a full-time job Avoid real estate “bubble” risks Get others to pay your mortgage for you Pick a hot property (and spot others that will become hot) Simplify the ins-and-outs of financing Negotiate like a pro Screen for reliable tenants Understand how local tenant laws work Hire good people to manage your properties Know when to sell (20061208)

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it...unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."
Buddha (mid-5th century BC)

"Trust Your Gut."
Jennifer Allan-Hagedorn, GRI (early 21st century)

It's such a simple concept, but one so often dismissed in the real estate training industry - trusting your gut instincts, even when prospecting for business. Strike that; especially when prospecting for business.

In this third book of the "Soul" series, Jennifer Allan-Hagedorn helps new and experienced real estate agents discover the perfect mix of prospecting strategies to best suit their unique personalities, strengths and goals. She accomplishes this NOT by insisting that they venture out of their comfort zones and implement strategies that feel unnatural (or even "icky"), but rather by following the Golden Rule of Prospecting: Prospect Unto Others as You Would Like to Be Prospected Unto.

In Prospect with Soul, Jennifer examines more than a dozen traditional prospecting methods and shows agents how to "soulfully" tweak them to better apply and appeal to today's real estate consumer.
