Details, details and more details …
This book is a great companion to other books of a more thoeretical nature. Many real estate books focus on why you should invest and the benefits of investing.

Gotta Get Me Some Land!
Authors Eric Tyson and Robert S. Griswold (the ‘S’ stands for ‘$old’) do an excellent job of breaking down the often confusing and risky world of real estate.

This review is from: Real Estate Investing for Dummies (Paperback)

I am only mid-way through this book but it has already answered so many of my questions (that another book did not)! I am new to real estate investing but not new to real estate. This book is layed out (like the rest of the Dummies books) in a very easy to follow format. It points out items to definitely remember when considering transactions and also points out warnings.

Also, since they have no agenda other than to help you understand the process, they did not try to sell you anything (i.e.; get rich quick schemes). This Dummies book gives it to you straight -- Why you should invest in real estate; How real estate investments stack up against other types of investments, such as stocks, etc.; The benefits of building your wealth by staying in for the long term; What cash flow to expect in the short term, including the possibility of negative cash flow.

I have done some investing on my own but wanted to learn more about real estate. This book is awesome. It covers the basics and more complicated real estate investments. I now know what types of real estate I am going to pursue and how to analyze them. I read the entire book but I am sure I will keep coming back to it for the worksheets and checklists.
