Real Estate Investing: Build Wealth Through Property

A short, brisk introduction for anyone weighing up property as an investment for the first time. It covers the groundwork most people skip, compares six different strategies so you can see which suits your money and temperament, then walks through financing, negotiating, building a team and managing what you buy. Property carries real risk, and the book is upfront about the downside of each approach.

What's inside

• An honest starting point: reading your own finances, risk appetite and how much time you can really give
• Six investing approaches with the pros and cons of each: buy and hold, flipping, REITs, wholesaling, short-term rentals and raw land
• What makes a location worth buying into, how the one percent rule and cap rate are worked out, and the due diligence - inspection, title search, independent appraisal - to do before you commit
• Financing options from fixed-rate and adjustable mortgages to credit unions, private and hard money lenders, seller financing, lease options and partnerships
• Negotiating with preparation: researching comparables, reading seller motivation, justifying your offer and knowing when to walk away
• The eight people worth having on your team, from agent and attorney to inspector, contractor and property manager
• Day-to-day management: screening tenants, writing a solid lease, handling problems, and the tax deductions and record keeping that go with rentals
• Scaling over time through reinvested profits, diversification, cash reserves and market cycles
