Very focused on large apartment complexes Be aware that the author of this book is almost totally focused on how to buy and manage large apartment buildings. If you're looking for advice on investing in a single-family house or two, or a duplex, look elsewhere. In fact, the author scoffs at wasting your time on "small" investments like that.
I wish I had realized how narrowly focused this book is on large-scale real estate investing. I would not have purchased it.
A Must Have for your real estate library Obviously the Rich Dad series has been very successful, and this book is no exception. Still timely today, it's a must read for anyone considering investing in real estate.
Great Book! WoW! Ken Malroy makes you think about a lot of different things. It was a great book! I wonder how things will change with the rules of real estate investing changing. Ken gives a ton of information. He might have to write a new book in 2009.

Ok if you still have any money to invest in real estate If you want a primer on real estate investing from the one million books on the subject, this is another one.
Very good book written straight to the point. If you have ready other books in the Rich Dad series, this one is different. It is not written by Kiyosaki and you know that the second you start reading it. It is to the point with no wasted words or time. It is no wonder that the author has done well in the Real Estate world. Ken McElroy will tell you just how he does his investing. If you are interested in buying rental real estate, buy it. It will be money well spent.
