The ABCs of Real Estate Investing: The Secrets of Finding Hidden Profits Most Investors Miss (Rich Dad's Advisors (Paperback))

Ken has written an easy to read guide on investing real estate. What I felt is the joy Ken has put into this book, he loves real estate and has provided good useful information you need to understand. Lessons Ken has given has given me the street smarts on how to calculate costs, and its book thats gets you started. Must read.

I was looming for something to help me understand the basics of investing in property. I found this eBook extremely interesting and informative. It was a perfect fit for me. The only part that was not relevant was the fact that it is based around US property.but to gain the fundamentals it works. I would recommend this as a starting point for learning to give you something to think about on your journey towards property investing.

Review courtesy of www.subtleillumination.com Rich Dad Poor Dad is a tremendously popular series, and has sparked a number of spinoffs, including this one, focused on real estate investing. It is intended for a novice in the field, and focuses on apartment buildings, though many of the lessons are also relevant to single-family homes. McElroy’s approach is also quite mathematical: he focuses on calculating your return on investment, and then using that number to calculate what the building is worth. Buy it only if you can get it for less. Words that could have done a lot for people who suffered in the sub-prime crisis, I suspect. The book is not as strong as some of Rich Dad Poor Dad’s other works, but if you have a particular interest in real estate, it’s a solid introduction. I think for most people, though, the sums he talks about in buying and selling apartment buildings make it seem a bit far away: many families have experience buying single family homes, but most haven’t considered buying multi-million dollar apartments. The principles are the same, but it makes it feel less relevant. Still, if you can get past that (or are considering buying apartments yourself!), then a good introduction to a very popular field.

This is an easy to read, highly factual book about Real Estate Investing. It gave me a much clearer idea of how to Research, Find and Buy high value Real Estate. Ken McElroy is one of Robert Kiyosaki's top advisers, and I had previously seen him talking about his strategies in a webinar, and I'm very impressed with the way he takes a complex subject and breaks it down into easy chunks.

Very useful information. Great book, learnt a lot and a good guide!

Everything about property is in the book

Very easy to read and intersting.

I am a complete newbie in investment and was looking for a starting point. I haven't finished this book but its pretty good from what I have learnt. It "actually" helped me take some action (which is the hardest step). Wouldn't help if someone just read and throw. This is one of those books which need you to go out and do what it says. So don't expect to just start and finish this book and expect anything from it. Go out, at least "try to do" what it says and see your perspective changed.
