I really don't understand the 1 star reviews regarding this excellent book. Makes me wonder if this reviewer just has a personal issue with RTK and his people. I have yet to read any articulate comments---just wrathing, anger and outrage. Sort of like listening to democrat hopefuls.
That being said, I found Real Estate Riches a excellent real estate book. There is technical information in this book. No it is not a large book, I believe that Dolf wanted this book to be different and left out information that is already in other books. Why repeat it here? I think RTK and Dolf were smart in sticking with this format.
What I am looking for new information, not just the same information that has already been covered in a dozen or so books.
This book is excellent. If you fail to see the value of Real Estate Riches, then you probably won't see the value in real estate investing either.
What appealed to me about this great book by Dolf de Roos is
1) It was written by an actual real estate investor who was
writing from his own personal experiences
AND
2) This book is different from the other real estate books which
all more or less same the same things.
Dolf does a great job showing that that real estate is still the best investment, actually tens and hundreds of times better than any other investment including and especially the stock market.
Dolf will show you how to find the deal of the decade every week!
How to massively increase the value of your property without spending too much money.
Dolf also explains how the government can subsidize your real estate investments and how to create passive income using your bankers money so that you only work if you want to.
My main business is network marketing. I have found Dolf de Roos real estate advice not only providing me with an additional stream of passive income, but also taken a chunk out of my tax bill as well.
If you looking for another "Nothing Down" or "Get Rich Quick" book on real estate, look elsewhere. This book can however show you how to get richer quicker with proven strategies.
Good book. Highly recommended. Thank you Dolf and RTK. Looking forward to your next foray.

I would like to say thank you! Thank you for putting real estate in terms that anyone can understand. No one likes being left dangling by a string with too much theory and no application. I am a proud supporter and look forward to your future works.

I give this book to friends who want to get started in real estate investment. It is the best beginner book I've found as it touches on many concepts such as leverage, passive inclome, tax advantages that are foreign to the minds of too many Americans. This copy is for me since I obviously gave away my last one.

This Audio program goes over all the different benefits or real estate investing versus investing in stocks or mutual funds. You will learn many valuable lessons from this program including how to find good investments, how to put deals together, how to manage properties once you acquire them. It will expand your mind as to what is possible for you to achieve. It changed my thinking!! Also, more importantly,it changed my actions. No product is worth anything if not acted upon. Thank you very much!!!
Not so much a "how to", more of a "why to". January 4, 2007

The main purpose of this book, as the author clearly states in the beginning of it, is not to tell you how to invest in real estate but more why you want to invest in real estate vs. the stock market and other investments. The author clearly knows what he's talking about, and his insights into the tax loopholes and financing options a real estate investor has are more than worth the price of the book. If you're a beginner, this is a great book to start out with. It's not going to tell you what to do, but it is going to tell you why you want to do it and give you some insight into the virtually unlimited leverage options a real estate investor enjoys as compared to a stock market investor who might as well take his/her money to Vegas.
If there's any doubt in your mind that real estate is the way to go, read this. I'd even recommend it for experienced real estate investors, for the reason that even though you won't learn anything new on how to go about your business, you might learn a few things about creative financing and tax loopholes that you'll wish you had known all along. Buy this book, read it over a weekend, then lend it to friends. It's not the real estate bible of the universe, but it is definitely worth reading if for nothing more than the author's upbeat, positive outlook and enjoyable writing style.
I especially like the author's anecdote about how he went through all those years of college to get a Ph. D. in engineering, then when he received his Ph. D. he was offered a job at $32,000 a year (this was the early 80's, I think, so that was a good starting salary for an engineer back then). But the week before he was offered the job, he had completed a real estate deal in which he made $35,000. So he turned down the job and to this very day has never had a job. Imagine that..... living your whole life without ever having to rent out your labor to the Man for a pittance and put up with the expectations of some moronic, terminally blue-collar boss. This guy has never had a job. He has always made his money--more than enough of it--working for himself rather than slaving away for fifty hours a week making someone else rich.
I recommend this book. It's definitely worth reading. I'm glad I have it.
