Book Review: The Wall Street Journal’s Complete Real Estate Investing Guidebook

Joining the ranks of Robert  Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and Donald Trump (Billionaire Lessons for the Small Investor), David Crooks hit the nail on the head with his version of the Complete Real Estate Investing Guidebook.  Small enough to fit easily in your carry on (or your back pocket), this tiny guide proves that good things do come in small packages – and this one packs maximum punch. 

Whether you are new to the investing game, or have done it for years, reading David Crook’s guide will be time well spent.  Covering everything from foreclosures, property values, borrowing money, to tax laws this book is simply written, but smartly thourough.  Crooks includes how to save money, and where to spend it to make the maximum amount on your investment.  He discusses where to buy, how to buy, and who to find to help you with the process.  With chapters titled “Why the IRS is your friend,” ”Do you really want to be a landlord,” and ”Why your home is not an investment property” you get the full disclosure on all things investment realated in the real estate world.  For the seasoned investor, it is a fantastic refresher with some new tips , and for the beginner it is a soup to nuts survival guide.  

Keep a pen or highlighter handy and by the end of this read, your book will look like an author’s first manuscript – and you will be ready for the world of real estate investing.  And when that happens – please do give us a call.  ;)
