Best Real Estate Investing Advice Ever

I was lucky enough to stumble on Joe's podcast while searching for articles about another author I had just read (Grant Cardone). After listening to Joe conduct an interview with him I was stoked and downloaded another episode, then another, then another.... Next thing I know I had listed to nearly 20 hours of the podcast in a week. I immediately purchased this book and polished it off in a day. I love how it has real advice from real people, not imaginary examples that only highlight the author's creativity and nothing more. Joe even provides details of where you can get a hold of the people being interviewed, just like in the podcast itself. I also think it's fantastic how the information in the book is actionable, you can actually put things into practice straight away. I think he has done a great job but I will mention a few caveats. There are spelling and grammatical errors throughout the book. I think this is a real shame because it is something that should not happen. The only other thing I can really say is the book is very short, I understand that he is keeping to his no fluffy stuff moto but while going through the first 100 interviews of his podcast, I believe there would have been more content that could have been provided of equal calibre and been included in the book. None-the-less I will not let either of these things keep me from giving the book a 5-star review because I really did love it. And perhaps Joe will read this short review and it will help ensure that issue two of his book (that I will also purchase when it comes out) will not have these problems. End of the day I am very happy to have come across Joe's blog and writing and am thankful he is doing what he is doing.

Easy to read, concise, chapters covering most every topic related to real estate investing that I can think of. I like that Joe took notes from a bunch of his favorite podcasts and turned them into a book, grouped by different real estate topics such as financing strategies, syndications, buy and hold approaches, fix and flip, due diligence, learning from mistakes, etc etc. I typically don't write things down that I hear on podcasts since I'm driving at the time so I like having this book to refer back to when I want to brush up on actionable advice from successful investors. Most of the suggestions and input I've read in this book are real world as well; not pie in the sky or esoteric theories about how to invest in income producing real estate. It's also convenient to have a book within easy reach that covers so many different aspects of real estate investing, rather than one solely focused on a single strategy and/or a single person's point of view.

If you have read any other real estate investing books, this one offers nothing new in my opinion. If this is your first time to read a book about real estate investing, you will learn the basics of what you need to know to buy your first property.

I won't lie, this book got me so freaking antsy about getting out there and investing. It's dangerous! I'm working on getting myself to a more stable place financially before I start investing, but I'm so eager to start after reading this book. It is such an easy read with very good tips and points. There's a little something for every type of investor which I really appreciate. For anyone who hasn't listened to the podcast, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The podcast is where you learn the most, but this book is a great quick reference guide. I purchased volume 2, but haven't started it yet. Def looking forward to it.

Very informative book. Chapters are short and to the point and covers a wide variety of Real Estate topics Recommendations is reading the book first cover to cover then it becomes an invaluable reference book for the niche you want to pursue in Real Estate as well as the Interviewee of the topic, podcast episode, and website to provide additional content. I would recommend to buy it in Print because you will use it again to flip through for references.
