Comments on The No-Nonsense Real Estate Investor’s Kit: How You Can Double Your Income By Investing in Real Estate on a Part-Time Basis
Author claims to be “non-Sense” – and in my mind he is. But his is the only things “different” about this book. His “only” twist is that is tends to showcase the “risk” whereas the others showcase the “reward”. This book is not worth the read or money.

Just to start, this book was released and published April 2006. This book was published at the peak of the housing cycle. Now, today we have June 2009….
Page 5 states: “The Chances of a Nationwide Residential Real Estate Market Meltdown Are Zero”. Do I need to say more? This author was selling his idea in a market that had reached it’s peak and it was starting to deflate beginning in late 2006.
This book should be completely redone even though author has some good interesting real estate ideas.

A thorough real estate investment book that covers a lot of topics with a very readable style.
Of particular value is his online Resource List at the end of the book. The author has listed email addresses for many useful websites. I liked the online Property Sales Information, where I first learned about Craigslist as a great online source for finding properties for sale. I like to search specifically for homes with guest houses, and Craigslist makes it easy to do that type of “specialty” search.
I also like the fact that he recommends useful products to make our investment businesses run more smoothly. It shows that he’s a down-to-earth guy who has been down the same path that we travel. For example, on page 65 he recommends the Desk Apprentice (designed by 2 participants in Donald Trump’s The Apprentice TV show) to keep your office desk organized, and on page 66 the Cab Commander for your car seat office. Lucifer knows that we have to spend a lot of time behind the wheel searching for properties, conducting drive-by property inspections, and driving to appointments.
This is a good book with useful information.

When I started reading this book, I thought I was going to learn everything about how to be a profitable real estate investor. There is just no way you can cover everything this book tries to cover in 300 pages. Each chapter leaves you with too many unanswered questions. Though, I could see how this book might be a good starting point for anyone interested in investing in real estate.
If you haven’t heard of Tonja Demoff, you should give her book Bubble Proof: Real Estate Strategies that Work in any Market a look. Her book is a very easy read and it’s packed with information that will help you get started with the right mindset and the right information to begin investing in today’s market.
