 Great overview for real estate investment. December 29, 2008
I think this is a great introduction to real estate investment. This is not a step-by-step "how to" guide, but I don't think such a book can be written successfully for something as diverse and intricate as real estate investment (that's like trying to find a book to become a successful investment banker). However, this book definitely provides a great primer to fundamental concepts and some good guidance. If you are new to this field/industry, I highly recommend this book. Where a book like 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' provides a wakeup call and inspiration/motivation, this is a nice segue to help you actually understand the basics of how investment in properties works.
As I said previously, a book can only provide so much education. You can definitely find some good reads on specific strategies (rehab, lease options, short sales, etc). I think this book provides a solid foundation upon which one would want to go start working with mentors and real investors. I became a bit of a "seminar junky" and book monger, but in retrospect, I should have just read this book and then networked with actual people in the industry.
Anyways, just my $0.02, as REI books go, this is a definite must-read.
An inspiring guide to real estate December 14, 2008
I found this book to be rather inspirational. Described in detail was a manner in which one could, simply by following directions and employing basic due-dilligence, come to possess and own-outright, over a period of time, a portfolio of real estate assets valued in excess of $1million.
Major pro's of this book include:
- No get rich scheme
- Plenty of charts and tables
- Mental-maps to how the wealthy perceive money as compared to the un-wealthy (i.e. the Financially Wealthy Money Matrix, the Path of Money, etc.)
- Explaining the key difference between an opportunity and a deal, and how one's criteria and terms are involved in each
- Profiles of real Real Estate Millionaire Investors who were surveyed to create the content for this book
Cons:
- None that come readily to mind
I have, and will continue to recommend this book to anyone who is seriously considering investing in real estate. There's no sense re-inventing the wheel, and viewed properly this book can be viewed as a set of schematics to help you build your own before you start.
 No Better Place to Start December 13, 2008
Keller's The Millionaire Real Estate Investor is a fabulous reference book for the aspiring real estate investor and anyone who may already be invested, but who got off on a less disciplined start. There is a fullness in the guidance offered here. The challenge is not with the guidance. The challenge will be in the disciplined implementation of what is being recommended. The reward will be for the investor who is so disciplined. This is a very valuable reference tool.

I am a full time experienced Real Estate investor. I have been buying, selling and renting properties as a full time occupation for 30 years. Over the years I have purchased nearly 1000 properties.
I am continually asked by others to show them what I do and how I do it.
Recently I have begun purchasing and giving out copies of this book to those inquiring, as a prerequsite before I will spend time with them sharing my knowledge and experience. Most have found it very helpful.
This is not a get rich quick guidebook. It is good, practical advise about investing in Real Estate for the long term. Much of what is discussed in the book rings true with what my experience has been.
